Confessions of a Rock Snob: How I Repented & Invited the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson Into My Heart, by Rich Horton

Hard to believe I was almost 30 before I finally listened to Pet Sounds.

SUMMERTIME, 1981

In preparation for my first cross-country road trip from the Midwest, to Seattle – where I’ve now made my home since 1985 – I was recording mix tapes to play in the car. I’d already filled several tapes with current bands I was following – XTC, Squeeze, The dB’s, Nick Lowe & Rockpile, Elvis Costello, Split Enz, as well as virtually the entire Beatles oeuvre – but I still had one 2-hour cassette left. My girlfriend suggested that a Beach Boys mix-tape would be perfect for a long summertime road trip...

The Rest is at: :)
