Obviously, years of freezing my ass off at cold hockey arenas have affected my mind. Sorta like the way you guys don't get The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Ian Thomas, A Foot In Cold Water, Moxy, April Wine, Segarini, etc. Then again, we gave the world Celine. ----- Original Message ---- From: Josh Chasin To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 10:50:57 AM Subject: Re: The Beach Men Obviously, Canadians just don't get it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hersh Forman" To: "Audities" Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 9:37 AM Subject: Re: The Beach Men Exactly my frame of reference. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jaimie Vernon To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 11:41:58 PM Subject: Re: The Beach Men AT Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:49:45 Hersh wrote: >While we're burying or praising Macca, let me also admit: I really dislike >the Beach Boys.

As I mentioned many years back in conversations, they were never in my sphere of influence. And I have no urge to step into the way back machine. I appreciate the multitude of hits they managed over a very lengthy career (I'm always a sucker for good Top40 singles), but I haven't the slightest curiousity to hear anything else. After being a captive listener in Dave Rave's car two years ago while traveling through Portland, Oregon I heard the entire "Smile" boxed set in one sitting and found it totally uninspiring. Yes, I realize it's an incomplete work, but I wasn't there during that period of great creativity for them. I don't get it. "Good Vibrations" smoked...even the version with the alternate lyrics....but, again....I didn't get all goose pimply or remotely overwhelmed by what I heard. It was quaint and I appreciated the historical value of it...but it ain't in my collection.
