It's definitely more about The Beach Boys and the music scene of that time, which...

Face it, the real Beach Boys have been gone for a long time. Yet, the two least consequential members of the group continue to feud over The Beach Boys name. Yesterday (January 28), a San Francisco judge ruled that original Beach Boy Al Jardine could not continue to tour under The Beach Boys banner. In recent years, Jardine, along with a group...
