Title: Beach Boys FAQ?
Post by: Amy B. on July 29, 2008, 08:16:09 PM
Has anyone ever thought of making a Beach Boys FAQ?
Not with questions like "When are the Beach Boys' birthdays," but questions like "What's with the anti-Mike Love sentiment," and "What's the controversy over Melinda Wilson," "Why isn't Brian Wilson on Kokomo?" and "I just bought my first late 70s BB album. What happened to Brian's voice?"

Does this exist? I think it would be fun to read, although some of these questions depend on viewpoint. The person who wrote this would have to present all sides.

And a good one. I guess I just keep reading these more controversial questions and thought someone might try to tackle those in a FAQ.
But really, I'm just trying to start a new discussion on the board.

Perhaps you should attempt to write it? It may prove to be a rewarding thing for you.

Hmm. That sounds a bit condescending...
Anyway, I'm a writer by profession and log way too many hours in front of the computer as it is. Besides, I lack the in-depth knowledge. It was just a thought for someone to do, perhaps for newer fans to read.

Not at all meant that way. I just think you have an obvious interest in the topics so could do a good job.

The Vocal credits thread could be part of it.
