<<Just curious, what is so bad about Brian's "Gettin' In Over My Head"? I
haven't heard it yet, and am wondering what the criticism is about...>>
Well, for me, it was twofold; Brian's singing was hard to take (but let's
face it, the guy's 60-ssomething, so he has an excuse) and the material seemed
weak, with no hooks really reaching out and taking hold.
Like I said, I liked a lot of "Imagination," slick as it was....but there's
nothing remotely appproaching "Happy Days," "Imagination" or "South America" on
the new one. To me, it just sounds like a 60-something guy who's past his
prime trying too hard.
Oh, and while I'm in full Beach Boys confessional mode today, let me come
right out and say it.....I LIKE "KOKOMO!" It was a neat little radio single, and
Carl's falsetto parts were sublime. But I'm probably alone on this one...or
am I?
