Such a prolific legacy! His and their music lives on forever. Rest in peace, Brian thank you, your brothers, cousin and friend for so, so many sweet sounds and melodies over so, so many years. God speed.

I am absolutely crushed by this. Last time we saw him in concert, I bought a hoodie I don't even like, because I knew I would regret not having it when this day came.

Oh man, love the Beach Boys! RIP, sir.

Bob and I saw the Beach Boys at Blossom Music center, in Akron, Ohio, during their 50th year tour. Great memories! R.I.P, in Kokomo, Brian.

I just saw this and came to see if there was a thread yet. I'm an 80s kid and I grew up on their music.

My dad had this weird hang up about me listening to any music. For as long as I can remember I knew that music was inappropriate for kids. Music is full of adult content. Then came that faithful Friday night when The Beach Boys first guest stared on Full House. I was about 7 years old. They preformed the song Kokomo and I fell in love with it instantly. I remained as still as I could trying not to react. Trying not to let on to my dad that I liked the song for fear of setting off one of his temper tantrums. But a miracle happened. After the song was over my dad asked me if I liked it. I cautiously admitted that I did. He was ok with that! In fact, the next time we were out shopping near the mall, my dad took me into the music store and bought me the Still Crusing album on cassette tape. My dad almost never bought me gifts. Especially if it wasn't my birthday or Christmas. So him buying me the album was completely out of character for him. I still have that tape along with a few more that I got as a child.

I was an 80's kid too, and while music wasn't verbotten, I wasn't that into it. My mom loved listening to The Beach Boys though and she took us to their concerts a couple of times - they would come play the outdoor amphitheater downtown. We always had so much fun! I still rock some Beach Boys whenever summer weather starts kicking in.

I was an 80's kid too,

I'm a 50's kid and I thought their music was great too.

One of the cheaper concerts to attend... be it sports arena.. just a tad young to make them impact my life... John Denver and Elton John era

I love that reverb-heavy guitar! It's so fun.

Congratulations post of the day
Sorry no cash rewards
I search for posts that use as little of words but have tremendous volume thru cultural connectivity
