After having the idea since 1994, I finally completed my book on The Beach Boys. Recently becoming a free lancer was the best thing I ever did for myself! Thanks to all my friends on here for all your support over the years. As soon as I know something about getting it out I will let you all know. Without this board and the people on here it wouldn't be half of what it is.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Hi Loaf
It's a biography, but also a look at every original Beach Boys LP and 45 song by song. It has a lot of interviews I did, and my goal was to make it fact based, but not dry. It's subjective to a point, but I try to present all views when general opinion differs from mine. As I am a record collector I also put in info on what has and has not made it to vinyl.

Awesome, Mike! After reading your interview snippets and notes these past couple of years, I'm really looking forward to the book as well. Maybe it'll be out before the SMiLE Sessions?  LOL
