Just in time for the 5........Oh wait!
Normal Beach Boys poor timing and missed opportunities has been resumed.
The site was actualized last years for C50. They just updated it again now
I think it would be nice to include Blondie and Ricky somehow

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

It would be nice, but they won't do it. At least one band member says that they were never real Beach Boys, just sidemen, and shouldn't be included in lists of past and present members.
There are, however, a couple of photos on the site that include Blondie in live performances.

Well I certainly class them as Beach Boys even if it was for a relatively short period , how many songs did they record and indeed write with and for the BB's AND to think of all those live tapes i've heard from the period introducing Mike,Ricky,Al,Dennis,Blondie and Carl 'THE BEACH BOYS' ummmm sidemen don't get that attention
OH and that period was certainly the best as a live Band , just superb.........

I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Bruce has said they 'were sidemen and never royalty members' in the past. I think its the WOTS podcast series discussing 'Sail On Sailor' from memory.
The line 'and shouldn't be included in lists of past and present members.' may be from another interview but was not from the above.

I am not the biggest fan of Blondie and Ricky, but this just sounds like sour grapes from Bruce since he left the group around that time.

Still waiting for them to open Beach Boys Central... six or seven years later however long it's been.
They should rename it

Yeah, it was Bruce. I didn't want to say who because it was a private conversation, but he was definitely of the opinion that they didn't count.
Personally, I consider them members because they wrote, sang and played on three albums (plus a track or two on Fifteen Big Ones in Ricky's case) and were credited as members then, but I suspect it woudn't be politic for them to be listed as equal members.

Not to mention that in the few years Ricky and Blondie were in the band, they had a hand in writing almost as many songs for the band as Bruce did in all his years as a "legitimate" member.

Wow. Bruce just keeps delivering the hits. And what is his reasoning for him being considered an "official" member while Blondie and Ricky just being sidemen? Or just because?

I don't remember him giving a reason -- this was a brief conversation twelve years ago.
That said, I'd expect it might have something to do with his having been in the band for forty years to their three, his having been on eighteen albums to their three, his having been a corporate member prior to 1972 while they were never corporate members, his having been on 17 US top 40 singles (including two number ones) to their zero...
Or it might be any number of other reasons.

In all fairness, it must also be pointed out that Bruce has referred to himself as a sideman and 'just a hired hand' as well.
That's nuts....him, Blondie, AND Ricky are Beach Boys.

I feel ya, but if you go by that criteria, does that make Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks truer members of Fleetwood Mac than Peter Green and Danny Kirwan? Fleetwood Mac had many more hits with Buckingham Nicks than they did with the other guys, and Lindsey and Stevie had been in the group far longer than the other guys, but that doesn't mean I'd discount the other guys.
My feeling (obviously) is a member is a member is a member. All of the above were at one point officially in said groups and no retroactive nonsense can make that untrue.

Least Ricky and Blonde made the most out of their short membership. Bruce has been coasting since 1980 and its scary how he gets paid to handclap/mic adjust.

I'm wondering if Bruce might have some hearing issues that might hinder his playing and singing. I mean, at the C50 show I saw, he sounded ageless on Disney Girls.
Love to hear him sing "I Write the Songs". They do some covers, why not that one.

Sure, but still was a huge, number one hit. I detest "Barbara Ann" (cause I've heard it too much), same with "Be True to Your School".
But really, for the casino crowd and Sea World, "I write the songs" would go over well. Just sayin. Though you wouldn't find me paying to see it.
