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.

Sums up the current day Beach Boys: Al talks about Fleet Foxes and Bruce talks about Brad Paisley. An artistically inclined indie folk group vs. right-wing hick country music.

And I'm not a Fleet Foxes fan really at all, but yeah.

Maybe Bruce will do an absurd accidental comedy duet with LL Cool J!

Is it just me, or do Al and Bruce look like they don't feel comfortable with each other?

That's just you. Wink If they weren't comfortable they wouldn't have done the interview like that. They did several interviews together, just the two of them, last year during the C50 tour. One in particular (done for a local radio station) I remember was far more lighthearted and relaxed. I'll try to find it on YouTube.

"right-wing hick country music"

Talking about me, assuming the country music is the old stuff, not the new horror. Right wing hick parts fits as stated.

I like a great deal of older country music. The stuff since like probably at least the '90s has just gotten more and more pathetic. Vince Gill put it well recently as to what's hip in the "country" world that Bruce loves: "You're hot. I'm hot. We're in a truck."

The closest I get to country music are probably closer to folk. Songs like Big Sur, or John Denver have a bit of a country vibe but much better music IMO.

This interview just further confirms for me that Bruce Johnston is an idiot.  I know that's not very constructive, it's just that every time I read or see an interview with the man, that's what I take away from it. It's amazing to me that he's supposedly always been clean, drug-wise, because his brain is mush.

It's possible we might agree with you, but you at least gotta give us some reasoning for this.
