Are You Sick Of Hearing About The "Reunion"?

[Runaways]

i wonder why they just don't do the big festivals next year.  If they're getting together.  The Eagles just closed the Austin City Limits Festival.  i'd love for the beach boys to do it.  festivals promise big crowds.

You don't think the crowd would just stand up and leave, if they showed up in their striped shirts and white Levis?
Can Brian still fit into his white Levi's?

Truth to tell, I'm getting sick of hearing about The Beach Boys, period. 50 years ?  Long enough - time I found a different consuming passion.

Oh no, Andrew.....


I am sick of hearing about the reunion, to be honest. I would really be surprised if it was respectful to the Beach Boys legacy of beautifully arranged recordings. I don't trist Mike & Bruce, or Al judging by that trite solo record of his.....

Do you think it might end like this:

Stunning!

this makes me think about this sketch i heard by a comedian about how people throw out adjectives overly.  And i feel like this is a perfect example.

Yes, I suppose it's come to that. 
Perhaps you could find something close to home to consume for passion.
I think "giving London back to the English" could be a fair way to spend your days.

The Beach Boys have never stopped touring.  Anyone who has wanted to see a Beach Boys show has had the opportunity.  So to the general public, would a big 50th anniversary reunion show be a big deal?  Does the general public know or care about Al Jardine or David Marks?  I think the only way a reunion show would be a big deal was if Brian was there.  In that case, it would not be about the Beach Boys; it would be about Brian. 

Good points.  I'm sure a reunion would get some sort of attention, but you'd have to be delusional to believe this would be some sort of major pop culture event.

Now is the time to plan your change of obsession from 'Beach Boys historian' to 'Wishbone Ash historian' -- surely a more lucrative and creatively-potent market!

Yes! And he can earn good cash on the side, by acting out the role of the prime Wishbone Ash historian in the weekly comedy show 'Paul & Harry'. He should smoke a pipe, and tell us about his weekly progress! I would love that! I would sell my BBs collection! I am totally sick of those California whackos. I am going to ask my doc for an emetic.

I too suffer from Beach Boys burn out every now and then but I always end up comming back to them.

Perhaps we're being turned into evil zombies. At the point where this site will have 2,000 members, we're being directed to, and heading for Roswell. From there, we'll march up to Mike Love's house. With devastating results.

Let's each and everyone of us creepy crawl Mike's house and take a dump in one of his hats.

I also wish that the band, or at least Brian would work with a cool musician. A few years ago Jack White produced Loretta Lynn to great effect, I wish Brian would get with one of the cool, fringe psychedelic groups working today like Circulatory System or Akron/Family. I know it's impossible, but something like would likely go over just so well.

I'd love to hear a Dave Fridmann-produced Brian record!
