"That's Why God Made The Radio" Single!

[b00ts]

At least something "outlandish" like Smiley Smile would at least be more interesting then the sun surf sand I'm sure we'll be stuck with hearing.

The MAFIA is involved with Jim Peterik (Eye of the Tiger and now this new song). We will be getting
Fewer Pet Sounds and more Mob Sounds - less "How Deep is The Ocean"
And more "Sleepin' With the Fishes,"

This is no joke. At the age of 34, I found myself in Jim Peterik's
RV in back of a Checkers/Rallys location in North Carolina,
He asked me "how my health was" and demanded
Protection money (supposedly for a Checkers
Champ burger I was eating, but I read
Between the lines).

And this is why
I love this board

Yawn. That was a few pages old.

SurferGirl7 loves to belittle people
Because she is
an unpleasant person
And she does not like Boots's creativity
Because she is boring
And most probably
Jealous.

Thank you, good sir. I tried to bring some humor back because the thread was flagging again, but I see from other posters that it was not appreciated. To them, I can only say... You're all lucky that I'm not mob connected.

Not really. I was merely saying I liked his poem. That didn't warrant a dismissive, catty remark. To be honest my life's not great at the moment. I want to come on here as a little escape. I genuinely find it hurtful when someone throws a nasty remark my way. Civility doesn't cost much. If you don't like someone's post, or find it yawn inducing. Ignore it. It's not hard.

And saying I'm "drifting into VintageMusic terrotory" What's that about? A threat? An attempt to ostracise me? For what exactly?

There are some great people on this board. Some are knowledgeable. Some are funny. Some are so clever it hurts my head. It's the small minority of mean spirited, scornful  people on here that bring this board down.

Be nice, really, life's too short.
By "Vintagemusic territory" , I mean over-reaction. And your post adressing SurferGirl was anything but "nice"  Otherwise, yeah, this should be a place. I caught the same treatment myself, a page or 2 back. And as off the wall as Vintagemusic could seem at times, I believe he was targeted as well. It doesn't justify his over-reactive and offensive posts, but the guy was sh*t upon unneccessarily, imo.
I don't have any axe to grind with you, and I hope you find the peace you are seeking. Have a serene and  restful holiday.

I agree, Vintagemusic was hounded unnecessarily. He was harping on the mob connections which was a bit annoying, but he also was adding to the discussion. Unfortuntely, before any of us could rush to his defense, he showed himself to be a wackjob.

I hope my attempt at humor hasn't caused anyone too much wasted time - I just saw another lull in the thread and figured I'd fill it with my loose-brained nonsense. C'est la vie.

I appreciate all attempts at humor, so my initial comment was out of line in itself. My apologies.

I still thought the mob jokes were funny. The RV part was really funny.

I didn't realize it was you that posted the humorous reference to Hitler and Chamberlain  a few pages back. I laughed hard at that one. It's true that Vintagemusic revealed himself to be a vicious wack-job and your post lightened things up considerably. Hilarious.

Sorry guys I am a little too busy to be dealing with flame wars. People do have lives you know. Iron horse, I'll let you save your ax to grind elsewhere.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

That's fine, you just pop up every now and again with your nasty comments. That is all you seem to contribute to this board.

I have no axe to grind.

You stay out of my way, and I'll happily stay out of yours.

Gooood, gooood, gooood, good vibrationnnnssss

Brian's solo work, with a couple of exceptions, does not sell. No Beach Boys album, again with a couple of exceptions, has sold well since the 1960s

You mean the exceptions don't count?

How about this: No Beach Boys album has ever sold good, with a few exceptions, and most of the exceptions were released in the 1960s.

I expect the new album to be better than GIOMH and worse than Pet Sounds. If we're lucky we'll get something nearly as good as TLOS. And I'd love the new album sound like "Today!"

But the best part of it all is that the old boys seem to get along fine at last.

Little surfer, little one,

Just kidding with you.

This board is a relief to us all. I would hate to think any of us come here with bad intentions, and even though some people turn out to be bigoted skull of Dick Reisings (vintagemusic, for instance), we're all here for the same good reason.

That reason is Mike Love, and all who sail in him.

Surfergirl7, I like your posts and all, but if you claim you don't have the time to deal with 'flame wars', it's probably not a good idea to start needlessly insulting people for harmless jokes.

[Pretty Funky]

Just listening to Daves interview. 'Radio' is to be released next week as a single. I'm sure he said Wednesday!

No way? That's AWESOME news. First new Beach Boys track in 20 years .  I think.

[SamMcK]

Hey guys i've been away for a while did I miss anything?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

THIS COMING WEEK? OH MAN THAT'S AMAZING!

[Jaspy]

Release of TWGMTR a day after the Dodger Stadium gig, that makes sense!
Will they perform the song?

I doubt they'll perform it live but I would not be surprised if they played it over the stadium speakers before the game or in between innings. Do we have any LA area fans that will be attending?

Someone's gotta record this show and put it on YouTube asap afterwards!

[over and over]

I wish I could go!!!!
This is great news!!!! I think I'm gonna.....gonna.....................................

I haven't bought a single since Kokomo in '88

[Jaspy]

Looks like this single will be the most silent BB release ever if it really comes out next week. Hard to believe actually.
No official announcements, no preorder options, no updated websites...

[GuyOnTheBeach]

Wednesday seems like a funny day for a Single to come out, I always thought it was Monday in the U.K and Tuesday in the U.S?, I think Dave probably means that an announcement will be made, or the single will be sent to radio stations or something.

Ya, I really doubt it will be released next week.
