The philosopher Michel Foucault wrote in praise of curiosity, calling for "a readiness to find strange and singular what surrounds us; a certain relentlessness to break up our familiarities...; a fervor to grasp what is happening and what passes; a casualness in regard to the traditional hierarchies of the important and the essential."

LAIST "Beach Boys fans are well acquainted with author Domenic Priore, who performed the heroic feat of gathering every word ever written about the Beach Boys’ Smile, and publishing all of it, with minimal but insightful commentary, as Look! Listen! Vibrate Smile! in the mid-1990s. It was nothing if not thorough, kind of like a researcher’s entire file drawer dumped on your desk with notes attached to each artifact."
"His latest book shows he hasn't lost his attention to detail, although he's now doing all of the writing himself. 'Riot On Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' roll's last stand in Hollywood', is a thoughtfully created, lovingly compiled history of the events taking place within a few square miles during the years 1965-66."
This is an amazing book. I tore threw my copy when I first received it. A great period piece and pretty essential for any Beach Boys fan.

BILLBOARD "A remarkable No. 16 start for late Beach Boy Dennis Wilson's revived 1977 solo set "Pacific Ocean Blue" (Epic/Sony BMG)."
