Beach Boys 2012

[DEGuy]

SPRING 2012 - The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary:


I never thought I'd be talking about the Beach Boy's latest 'album' in 2012; and neither did they. If you haven't head their new CD, and if you remember those days, especially the 1960s, you have got to give this CD a listen. And when you hear When God Made the Radio--man, it's too much. It will transport to the days of AM radio, Cousin Brucey, Murry the K, car hops, and a much different time. Our generation had its hell in southeast Asia; but at the same time we had so much. Now we have myriad memories and ques that bring those memories to mind. If you're a 'Boomer', do yourself a favor. And do remember those who are no longer here.

Songwriters: LAURENCE JOHN MILLAS, JOSEPH THOMAS, JAMES M PETERIK, BRIAN WILSON

Tuning in the latest star
From the dashboard of my car
Cruisin' at 7, push button heaven
Capturing memories from afar
In my car

That's why god made the radio
So tune right in everywhere you go
He waved his hand, gave us rock'n'roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
(Fallin' in love, oh)
That's why god made the radio

Feel the music in the air
Find a song to take us there
It's paradise when I
Lift up my antenna
Receiving your signal like a prayer
Like a prayer

That's why god made the radio
So tune right in everywhere you go
He waved his hand, gave us rock'n'roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
(Fallin' in love, oh)
That's why god made the radio

Making this night a celebration
Spreading the love and sunshine
To a whole new generation
Whole new generation
That's why god made the radio
That's why god made the radio
That's why god made the radio
That's why god made
That's why god made
That's why god made the radio
That's why god made
That's why god made
That's why god made the radio

i think the whole album is really great (and i'm the son of a boomer).

[DEGuy]

jochums: You're right, the entire 'album' is great--it is the Beach Boys as many of us remember them.

It's a shame that two of the Wilson brothers--Carl and Dennis--didn't live long enough to be a part of it.

I'm just waiting for the first young 'un (who only knows CD's and iTunes) to ask, "What is an album?"
