Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Reunion: Fact, Fiction or Fantasy?

In Brian Wilson/B. Boys
ROLLING STONE According to Al Jardine: "We’re definitely doing at least one show — you heard it first ... It’s a big deal. I don’t know where it will be yet, but it’ll probably be free. Golden Gate Park was mentioned, as was the [National] Mall in Washington, D.C. and the north shore of Chicago by the beach ... I want to see a 100-date anniversary tour ... I want to go all around the world, but if this is the way it has to be, then so be it. We're going to have to rehearse one hell of a show. My point is, if we're going to rehearse and make this such a wonderful show, we should take it on the road. It's the next logical step and it disappointments me that the other guys don't see if that way. I mean, it really bothers me. I know Live Nation has their fingers crossed we'll hit the road. We've gone one show definite, so at least we've got our foot in the door."
LA TIMES blog has its doubts - "Beach Boys' 50th anniversary reunion? Don't bet on it."
