    The thing about those Beach Boys songs–with the exception of All Summer Long, is the melancholia that suffuses all of them. That’s why they stick with me, and perhaps resonate even more with each passing year.

    BTW, for you younger readers, ‘All Summer Long’ played over the closing credits of American Graffiti, which was George Lucas’ second film. His FIRST film was memorialized on a license plate in American Graffiti–THX 1138. All of this pre-Star Wars.

        The very question implies that someone somewhere doesn’t think Mike Love is an asshole, which is impossible.
