·It was 1963 and I was in Little League in the Los Angeles area and a relatively new band was our team sponsor. The "Beach Boys"
were written across the back of our jerseys and as a young boy I didn't really know who they were nor realize they would go on to become one of the most influential bands of the rock and roll era. The Beach Boys showed up on opening day at the Little League Ballpark and played a few songs for the crowd.
I wish I still had the jersey...

And they never went to the beach, or surfing. Can't trust anybody, even in those days.

·The first song that absolutely captured my imagination as a kid, 1979 I think it released?
The Wall is still my favourite album of all time, used to listen to it all the time while lay studying every detail of the gatefold LP artwork.

··Melbourne AustraliaAs a young 17 year old, I was at anchor just off Cap St Jaques/Vũng Tàu one evening.
After a hard eight hours on watch we could claim our beer ration (750m !!!l can of Fosters Lager), grab our plastic banana lounge and a "portable" tape deck and retire to the Port FWD sponson for some relaxation.
I remember watching dozens of Hueys coming home to roost, silhouetted against the sunset, and about six F4s (fully loaded for bear) screaming over our heads and unleashing hell on something on the ground about twenty kilometres away.
All this to the background of Eric Burdon And The Animals punching out "The House of the Rising Sun".
I'll never forget the first time I heard that song.
BTW, this is a sponson. Shown when it was an aircraft carrier, but it was till there as a troop carrier.

HOWEVER: In 1957 the four door intermediate size Rambler Rebel was launched, and with its new 327 cid V8 it could run circles around contemporary Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth. According to Motor Trend it was the fastest stock American sedan of that year.

Actually Dennis Wilson was an avid surfer, you're right about the others. I wouldn't say they never went to the beach as they did grow up in Hawthorne California and Huntington Beach was only about 26 miles away or a quick 30 minute drive without traffic, a much shorter distance then say if you lived in Nebraska.

·At 13 I already had some records by The Shadows and was an avid listener to Alan "Fluff" Freeman's top 20 show at 4 on Sunday afternoons, on what was still called BBC Home Service.. I even had a notebook in which I would carefully write down the top 20 chart.
Then towards the end of 1962 the Beatles crept into the bottom of the chart with Love Me Do (it maxed at 17). What a revelation! It sounds pretty thin now but at the time it was astonishing.

Despite what pikiweedia says it was not their first single release, just the first UK & USA release. On Scout camp in 1964 in Switzerland we were very pleased to find their earlier German releases on a jukebox in a bar near Interlaken. (Bar? Aged 15? No-one cared or asked our age. Our money was good. Same went in the nearest pub to our home Scout Hut 😗)

·"Beach Boy, Friends, and Relatives" does not have the same ring to it. Seems the water got him in the end.
