Title: Pet Sounds goats - where are they now?

http://curious.kcrw.com/2016/06/the-epic-tale-of-the-beach-boys-and-the-pet-sounds-goats

The crazy thing is, a few days ago, before knowing of this article's impending existence, I was thinking of posing this exact same question to this board :)

I wonder where The Boys got the apples they cut up for the shoot. Did one of them go to a supermarket, or was it perhaps an assistant? Can you imagine what the receipt for the apples would sell for today if it still existed? Or for that matter, a swath of one of the goat's fur? Twenty plus years ago, I met a famous animal celebrity, Buck the Dog from Married...With Children, when I attended a taping. I got to pet him when I saw him with his owner outside the studio right after the show. As I walked away from petting Buck, I thought to my teenaged self: if only I'd kept a few of Buck's dog hairs in my hand for posterity, the way Elvis or Beatle locks were socked away by barbers.

“Mike made a joke,” says Al Jardine. “‘Brian, you’re making music that only dogs can hear,’ which at the time was meant to be funny because of the amazing harmonies and ideas Brian was coming up with. That was Mike’s way of saying, ‘I don’t understand it, but the dogs do.’”

 :lol

That is a fantastic article!  The only thing they got wrong is Brian's age.  

Anyone know the status of Dennis' bag of Fritos?

I was also thinking about that aggressive goat - I think he's the same one who climbed on the large turtle in the Zoo's archival photograph!

I just thought I'd leave this here:

Goating On
Goating To The Beach
Little Honda (beginning with a yell of "goat!")

Al really does hate that goat.  I happened to be with him during the Pet Sounds EPK interview and he stopped at the big display of Pet Sounds in the Capitol hallway and started talking about how mean the white goat was.

I said, "Al, that goat is dead now."

He laughed and moved on.

it must have been that particular goat, isn't he seen wrestling with one in one of the documentaries? endless harmony? or the good vibrations live dvd?

Macca's like, "Don't be so harsh, Mr. Jardine, all they need is a little TLC..."

I heard that one goat ended up on Green Acres, had an affair with Arnold Ziffle , became addicted to drugs and ended up in rehab. That's what I read on the internet anyway.

If you read it on the Internet it certainly must be true

It's the Good Vibrations DVD. He really does seem to attract aggressive goats.

Stupid question - they're dead, of course. Doubt goats live to 50-60. Or smb. ate it.

I don't think it's a stupid question, just a bit of lightheartedness in this crazy world.

And I'm sure Al is relieved to know that those goats didn't breed; that the white goat didn't have any descendants to "get his goat" so to speak  :)

You don't think. To me, it's stupid question. I voiced my opinion which I think is ok as far as discussions go?

I am with Al - goats are very ugly animals. unlike certain pets... :3d

Goat: Baaa

Goat:Baaaaaa
Me: well that is interesting to say the least.
Goat: Ba
Me: I know exactly what you are saying. are there any funny stories or memories you have about that day when the Beach Boys came to your zoo for the photo shoot?
Goat: Baaa, Baaaaaaaa, ba, ba, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, baaa, ba ba, ba ba, baaaaaaaaa!
Me: (laughter) well I must say that IS funny. and you said Dennis was the one who did that?
Goat: Ba baaaaaaa, ba ba ba ba.baaaa, ba..
Me: Wow I'm going to assume that her goat husband didn't like that at all.
Goat: Ba.
Me:(louder laughter) wow that sounds just like something Dennis would have done. What are your thoughts on Brian?
Goat: Ba ba baaaaa ba ba baaaaa baaaa baa baaaa baaaaaa.
Me: and it made you high?
Goat: Ba baaaa.
Me: wow, that must have been an interesting experience to say the least.
Goat: ba baaaaaaaa baaa baaaaa.

Goat: ba baa baaaa baa baaa baaaaaaa
Me: Yes I have that same understanding about Mike Loves bald spot too.
Goat: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ba ba baaaa baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ba.

Me: well I wish you the best of luck in that law suit.
Goat: ba ba baaaa.

Goat: ba bbbbbaaaa
Me:yes a half goat have Dennis WOULD have looked bizarre.. any thoughts about Al before we go?
Goat: ba baaaa bbbbbababa ba.
Me: I agree it must have been strange you being taller than he.

UPDATE: RIP to Herbert the Goat who after I had the interview jumped off a cliff his last words were "Baaaa ba baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

No problem with voicing an opinion!  😀

I feel sorry about goats. The Bible talks about "separating the sheep from the goats" with the goats being the "bad".
Poor guys - they can't help that they're goats.
I enjoy watching the goats playing , hopping around etc. but every once in a while there will be that rogue goat such as the one who gave Al such a hard time. I'm hoping to have a couple of goats eventually, but they would have to be mini-goats.
