The Beach Boys

That's Why God Made The Radio

The Beach Boys have reunited to mark their fiftieth anniversary. Sadly we are without the irreplaceable Carl and Dennis Wilson, but the rest of the surviving members are all present. Song writing genius Brian Wilson is at the helm, alongside him Mike 'The Limelight Chasing Moth' Love, irrepressible pin-up Al Jardine, and the often underappreciated Bruce Johnston - who has the distinction of writing Barry Manilow’s ironic hit, ‘I Write The Songs’. To bulk up the numbers there is even the surprise inclusion of David Marks, whose tenure in the original Beach Boys was so short lived that he actually clocked less hours in the band than a dominant case of Athlete’s Foot suffered by Brian one long summer.
