Hello all. This is part two of our Surf's Up: A Beach Boys Podcast Safari interview with Tom Smucker, author of the very worthwhile Why The Beach Boys Matter. We revisit the Great Surfin' Safari vs. Surf's Up Debate of 1971, as well as how Brian Wilson's childhood trips to church may have influenced his music, why he is the Picasso of Pop, how modern stars such as Janelle Monáe are keeping The Beach Boys on the radio, some stunning Spotify numbers, and a Canadian perspective on the group? Check it all out at the following link and let us know what you think:
