I can hear music

The Beach Boys at an awkward moment: Brian is gone; Carl is in charge; and Mike Love is reduced to making sarcastic hand gestures and plotting his revenge. They are just two years removed from the pinnacle of "Good Vibrations;" 5 years away from the first of the "Endless Summer" nostalgia tours that have defined the band as much as surfing. But, even at a low point, they can still put their hearts and harmonies into a lesser Phil Spector song and make it their own.
