Nice to know the band has a special place in his "spin zone."

Bill'O is a sack of sh*t, but seems to have good taste in music.

Bill O'Reilly, whether you agree with his point of view, or not, has earned his stripes as a broadcast journalist...

BU grad, classmate of Howard Stern, student of Marvin Kalb, at Harvard, studied in London; O'Reilly worked in the trenches, from the local TV stations as a consumer reporter, to the liberal Boston Phoenix. 

He was born in 1949; of course he is gives them "the nod."

At some point he said he had seen them 18 times and plans to see the Reunion of the Boys.  18 is likely a conservative number.  I might not agree with his point of view, but, agree with his great taste in music!  Wink

Watching the commentary, Bill is right on this one. The Beach Boys have been doing what they do since the early 60's, and have *survived*. That, in itself, is significant. But the point that hit me was the word "uplifting" which he used to describe their music.

Are there many bands or artists who make music as uplifting as The Beach Boys? And when you get deeper into the history of the band, you realize how much turmoil was going on behind all the great feelings their music was giving their fans...it's an amazing contradiction that music which continues to make people happy and has done that since the early 60's came from that turmoil.

It is still amazing how listeners of all ages can be touched and uplifted by this music, especially those bad days when you need a laugh or a smile and a song like "Wouldn't It Be Nice" pops up on the radio at random.

Don't care for O'Reilly myself (reminds me of Rush Limbarf) but I have renewed respect for him now.  Nice words.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. 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!!

Right on!  Uplifting! Making people happy!  

And, I think a lot of the magic of the music, is in the way that they seemed to identify what people wondered about, and worried over, and somehow put that into the composition or lyrics.  It has given sort of a "safe harbor" that is healthy and positive.  

It is no wonder that there was turmoil.  When you are at the top, everyone (including charlatans) want to be "your friend." But, they are survivors.  I think working with their own bands, has only made them better, and more exacting with the music, causing them to grow tremendously.  They can respect their own life's work.  

Amazing that the music has, like a river, found its' way into movie scores, commercial jingles, art and culture.  They are all part of something quite remarkable, that will surely be validated as this Reunion tour and album pick up steam.  

Uplifting! Yeah, baby!  Wink

O'Reilly's a fan anyway. I've seen a few of his [unbiased] reports on Brian and The Boys through the years on "Current  Affair" and "Inside Edition".

I like Bill O'Reilly because he might fly off the cuff at any minute and explode into a rant on live television like that excellent Utube clip floating around.  I have never seen anything like that, it was awesome.  Nice to see him promote the Beach Boys a little bit.  Maybe they'll play at the republican national convention in a few months, that would be great!

I don't mind O'Reilly, actually. He's kind of amusing sometimes. The key thing to remember, of course, is that he is purely an entertainer, like Jay Leno. He's not a serious political analyst or journalist and he doesn't try to be. His function is to get ratings, not give substance, and that's precisely what he does and he does it well. It's a mistake to really take him seriously. This really isn't the worst thing that could happen to the Beach Boys.

He recently called Willie Nelosn a "creep" for being a marijuana advocate.

At least he's on FoxNews where he belongs... not a lot of serious journalism happening there.

No need to get your undies in bunch about my little opinion about Bill O'Reily. There will be accolades from all over the spectrum (such is the appeal of the BB) but you should accept that opinions will also be all over spectrum. So unless you plan on telling everyone with an opinion to grow up, perhaps taking a bit of a chill on your part is okie dokie.  Smiley

What the Hell's wrong with Pelosi? I'd rather see her pay tribute to The Boys than that buttwipe Speaker of the House John Boner!

Some of you guys try to make political statements in here and there is nothing political about some news guy liking The Boys. I could care less what your views are, as I'm sure that you care less about mine. Stay on topic for a change. It's about him giving props to the band, and not is political views.

Hi Mikie;
  Do I know you?  You refer to me as if I do, but I've never heard of you, or if I have, I can't remember.  

What's wrong with Nancy Pelosi?  She's a horrible politician; almost every opinion she has is ass-backwards.

Here's a good one about the health care bill.

"We've got to pass the bill, before we can understand what's in it"

She's a politician who signs bills into law that she's never even read.  That's the epitome of the worst kind of politician; governing and signing into law, things that govern the rest of us, WITHOUT EVEN READING IT.

When was the last time you signed a contract that effected the lives of every person born in the country, WITHOUT EVEN READING IT?

That you would ask what's wrong with her is mind boggling.  Do you support that kind of behavior?  Is that your idea of a good politician?

FoxNews is the #1 watched news channel.  There's a reason for that.  The republican slant is refreshing from all the mind-numbing nonsense coming from MSNBC or CNN.
