Song of the Day: Sloop John B

Somedays the Beach Boys are like nails on a chalkboard to me. I just can't take the high pitched harmonies. Not for long, anyway. But some days, the sun shines, the windows in the car go down and they're the perfect sound for bopping down the road.

This morning's drive to work was the later.

Home, let me go home...
Home, why don't they let me go home...

Saw the Beach Boys two years ago. Or the outfit calling itself that...apparently there's a rat's nest of lawsuits over who owns the name. Anyway, they were pretty darn good. And fun to watch. I'd give it a 3 out of 5.

And there's always been interesting stuff circulating about the album "Pet Sounds" that Brian Wilson never completed. Saw a few years ago an interview with McCartney where he said the only band the Beatles over though could creatively give them a run for their creative and commercial money was the Beach Boys. It wasn't all beach fun ... right before Wilson's death, they got some really funky stuff going.
