The Beach Boys are in the middle of their 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour and have released a new CD, That's Why God Made the Radio. The title song will remind fans of classic Beach Boys songs of the the 1960s. I first saw this band at a Fordham University concert in 1965, where the opening act was the Loving Spoonful. Being a folkie, I had not been a big fan of surfing music, but as soon as I heard the beginning chords of "California Girls," I became a convert.
By the way, also check out Paul Simon's lovely version of the Beach Boys "Surfer Girl" at a concert honoring Brian Wilson.
