In Brian Wilson/B. Boys
CITIZENSVOICE “One thing I like about what we’re all about is we don’t have to embarrass anyone with off-color four-letter words. I love freedom of speech, but I don’t like the four-letter words. People should have better taste. Could you imagine having to bleep stuff out of the Beach Boys’ songs?”
“It was always a big deal for our label (Capitol Records) to come to Wilkes-Barre and play a concert. I remember freezing there. We wore striped shirts and white pants. As the years rolled on, we came when the weather was better.”
“We love what we do. It’s still fun. It’s still fresh. We change the song order every night. I still have my young spirit.”
“I surf about three times a week. I love surfing almost equal to loving music. I surf and I sail and I feel great.”
“I drive a bad-news, gas-guzzling, politically incorrect Mercedes ML55. I didn’t pick it out. Son number three picked it out. I came home and this rocket ship was in my driveway. I owe so much to the fans for supporting our music and our lifestyle, which is a lot lower key than you think. I raised a family and I paid for their college tuition.” --Bruce Johnston
