John Stamos sang the Full House theme song? Or did I misinterpret that?
Despite how easy it sometimes can be to dislike John Stamos, I have to give him props. Being the big Beach Boys fan that he is, he got to do the one thing that all of us want to do: play with the Beach Boys. Not only that, he also recorded with them, appeared in their music videos, and toured with them (and sometimes still does). He also was given a lead vocal, to sing the remake of "Forever", which suggests that he is a true Beach Boys fan, selecting a song from Sunflower. Sure the remake was definately a slice of processed cheese, but so was everything else recorded by the Beach Boys at the time period.
His presence in the Beach Boys touring band also added a spark to the slowly, dulling BB's concert scene. At least Mike Love could say during the concerts, "We got John Stamos from Full House on drums tonight!". Unknowingly, some people, including me when I was younger, would have thought that Stamos was there from the beginning.
Now that Carl is gone, Al is out, and Brian is doing his own thing, the Beach Boys need something to keep the concerts alive. Apart from the musc, which should be the main draw, I think if Stamos came back to tour with the BB's, they would see a bigger concert draw (this is in case that a "reunion" never happens).
Now as far as the Full House episode with the concert, that was definately my first intro to the Beach Boys, and later lured me into the fan that I am now.
By the way, does Brian get royalties from the Beach Boys concerts, even if he is not performing witht them?
Yes,as one of the partners in "Beach Boys,Inc." (or whatever it's called),Brian gets a percentage for use of the name.Despite how easy it sometimes can be to dislike John Stamos, I have to give him props.
