A wonderful feature about Al and the Pet Sounds Band in Rolling Stone.

Such a great feature! Some really wonderful quotes from Al, Matt, and Darian, and the stories about All stressing about the new Love You material are actually really revealing I think.

Re:  "I left to pursue my education.” (Beach Boys lore says he left to attend dental school, but it was actually an undergraduate program."

According to other sources including the BB's Wiki (I know), he actually applied to dental school in 1964...so he applied to dental school even though the band was really popular at that point? Seems odd but I suppose it's a safer route than rock n roll.

Al and Mike still don't seem to be getting along. Kind of sad reading Al describe Mike's speech at Brian's memorial service.
