A 30th anniversary collection...

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of The Association. I Saw them in 2008 along with Gary Puckett, Peter Noone and The Happenings. That was a really fun show. This time it was just them. They will be doing another Happy Together Tour this year with The Cowsills, Mark Lindsay, Flo & Eddie & The Buckinghams. I will not be attending those shows. Next month I will be seeing Mr. Love and Mr. Johnston yet again.
With the Association down to 2 founding members Jim Yester and Jules Alexander the band still plays great and sounds strong. Russ Giguere retired last year and Larry Ramos passed away last year. The group opened with Windy and went on to play the hits: Never My Love, Everything That Touches You, Cherish etc.. They did something that I was not happy with, which was play a few songs cover songs. Wouldnt It Be Nice, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, My Girl... They have enough hits, great album tracks to fill out the whole hour and a half. So that was a little disappointing. As always I'm the youngest person to attend these kind of shows, which I do enjoy that fact. I talked to them after the show for a minute, really nice guys. Totally underrated as musicians and a band. So everybody check out the 2 disc anthology set, you won't be disappointed.

I will be going to see them tomorrow at turning stone casino in verona, ny. Anybody out there going?

Like the new pic!

Whats next a Mike biopic called Looking Back With Love   

Hey what do ya know! Al is taller than Carl.

We had that discussion back when the first set photos of the BBs appeared. Has no relevance in the film, though.

Yes I know it has no relevance. Other then the fact that Al is taller then Carl.

Ok so we have current popular artists like Nate Ruess and Zooey Deschanel appearing on the album yet the first single is one that doesn't have them on it. Makes sense...

Huh???  Really?  Have a nap.

Ummm ooookayyy thanx...

Lionel Richie's Hello

This album is going to reach ooh I'm gonna say #9 on the charts.

Give us one pic of brian, al, david, blondie and ricky!

On which chart?

Billboard Hot 100

I think a Top 10 finish for the album might be tough. On the one hand, it seems to take less and less sales to chart highly on the album charts these days. But I believe Brian's best ever solo chart performance in the US is #13 for "Smile" in 2004. "TWGMTR" of course hit #3, but that had the BB name (and anniversary hoopla) attached to it.

If the second week of April is a slow week sales-wise, and Capitol puts enough push behind the album, it could do relatively well on the charts. If it hits the top 10, it could well do so while still selling less copies in its first week than "Smile" did in 2004 when it hit #13.

Unfortunately Brian is not a "hit making" solo artist like his musical contemporaries.

I don't find there songs to be sad, but if I had to choose...

Baby Blue
A Day in the Life of a Tree

Heaven- Carl Wilson
Tug of Love- Dennis Wilson

With Mike, Alan, David and Bruce perhaps?

Also if you do a little tour this summer, please come to Rochester, NY. Thank you Brian

P.S. Slap your cousin in the face for us! 

Was Billy ever married? Or have any kids?

I don't recall any dreams, but I do wish I was in back to the future and go back in time to save Dennis and Carl.

A film about Dennis and Charlie has the beatles in the title.... Oooook

Looks. Horrible.

Love how the idiot says California Dreamin'.... Like that was one of there hits.
Footage of Dennis...?
Lets stop with video of Carl. Getting a bit creepy.

Im assuming a movie where the actor has short hair and no facial hair in one scene and the next scene has hair down to his ass and a beard to his stomach either is wearing a wig or took a significant break from filming.

Hypothetically (obviously) but if Dennis and Carl were alive where would they be? Would the beach boys be a full group? Would they be without Brian? Would Brian, Dennis and Carl be a trio?

Wishing you were here

My first concert was The Beach Boys w/ America on June 29, 1994 @ Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center, Canandaigua NY. I was 9 yrs old. I vaguely remember it. Anybody have footage or pics..!?
