Newest Album

The "Boys" have recently
releases their newest album, "Surf's
Up", which covers many subjects
from ecology to student
demonstrations to the title song
that documents the personal
dilemma of Brian Wilson since he
found in 1965 that he could no
longer find any satisfaction in
sunny days, surfing and driving, or
groove on making public
appearances with the group.

"Surf's Up" is an attempt at
bringing the Beach Boys popularity
from the ripples of the suburban
swimming pool set and local speed
shop to the banks of the Hudson
River. Regardless of the possible
success of their album, a concert
with the Beach Boys would be only
complete by wearing saddle shoes
and a high school letter jacket.
