Not everyone speaks English in the same way that you do. What's your point?

That's not how I speak — it's how Blondie pronounced it
I know.

Ah OK, no — I thought it was cool that he has enough affection for his BBoy time to do the song, and I thought it sounded good, and it was charming to see him in a modest setting like that one.  He seems like a cool cat.

I'm so grateful that David Marks was included that I don't want to complain.

Right. I must admit that after the first buzz about the idea of Blondie and Ricky being part of this, it kinda got aside for me. To make so much noise about them having to be part of it gives this whole great idea of the reunion a bad taste. But after Stamos was included it lit up for me again. But as you say, we should be grateful and happy for this reunion, although Blondie and Ricky deserve to at least be mentioned as more than just a side note.

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.

Not sure if this was posted already, but here's Blondie performing Sail On Sailor in 2011.

Meh. I guess that I've seen Carl perform it live so often that I'm spoiled for anybody else, even the original lead vocalist.

Hasn't Desper said he has an original version from '71 with a Carl lead?

I'd love it if Blondie and Ricky were included but, to be frank, they've escaped that whole surf/sunshine web that's ensnared the likes of Foskett and even David Marks, for so long – whether they've wanted/needed it or not, that they certainly don't need to fall back on it. If they take part, I hope it'll be for the fun of it and not out of any sense of obligation or desperation.

They are the only living Beach Boys not included in the reunion. As good a reason for a push as any.

Glen Campbell, aside from being pretty much retired at this point due to his Alzheimer's, was never an official Beach Boy.

Neither was Hal Blaine, but I'd rather have those two playing on a new album recording than have a new song by the flame on there

I agree that having new Blondie and/or Ricky songs on the new BB album would be kinda lame. Especially after all this time. But then again I don't really see how a new David Marks composition would really make sense on this album either, seeing as how he has written 0.00 percent of The Beach Boys material. I know Jon Stebbins will get mad at me for this, as David is actually better than Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Jimi Hendrix combined, and had he stayed with the BB, he'd have brought world peace.

But yeah, and I know this brings this thread back to "that place", but I don't get why David is featured and Blondie and Ricky continue to be looked at as footnotes to the BB story.

You don't know how to make a record.

Material should be and is often chosen for its appropriateness to the project. Granted, sometimes there are bones thrown, favors granted and  politics considered.

if arranged in a certain way, this would be a great Beach Boys song.

I have no interest at all in hearing a new David Marks song (or no more interest than I would in any other random musician) but the most obvious reason why David would be featured and Blondie & Ricky not is that David is a founding member of the band, and he played on a lot of their most famous songs and biggest hits. If you're going to go on stage and say that you're reuniting the band that recorded Surfin' USA, Surfin' Safari, Surfer Girl. Little Deuce Coupe, 409, Shut Down, In My Room and so on, it makes sense to have every living member of the band that recorded those songs on stage.

On the other hand, Blondie and Ricky played on none of the hits, and were in the band when their records were barely selling. If we're *very* lucky we may get as many as three songs from the time they were in the band (Sail On Sailor, All This Is That, California) on the tour, only one of which either of them sang on. I'd certainly like to see them with the band, but the fact is that they joined the band the vast majority of the music they're loved for (whether by dedicated fans like us or casual listeners) had already been recorded.

blondie and ricky are great at what they do.  but they never feel like anything but a band within a band to me.  I usually skip their songs when i listen to holland and passions.  we got love is a greeeat song though.

Before this thread disappears (and not thinking that it would be right to make another thread about it) I saw Ricky playing drums for Bonnie Raitt tonight on David Letterman and it was great (him and the whole band). They did a very inventive cover version of "Right Down The Line".

I saved it on my dvr. I wish I had my desktop here (the one I use to make movies with). Funnily enough I'm going to get all that and all of the rest of my stuff next month. i just checked YouTube and there is no video for it yet but there is a performance on Ellen and an official music video. Search "Bonnie Raitt Right Down The Line" and you will find at least 2 performances.

I just checked out her album, and there's a song called God Only Knows on there! but it's not the Beach Boys song.
