Went to see the Beach Boys last night. Someone explain to me why concerts only seem to put up posters just before the event, when the tickets have generally sold out months before?
Some... curious choices of songs. They did all the stuff you expect - California Girls, Good Vibrations, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Fun Fun Fun - but also a buch of pretty obscure stuff, including Be True to Your School - which was actually kind of funny, since that song's been something of a private joke for me and my friends, mainly because it's so not very good...
The weird thing is just how much they sound like themselves. I mean, sure, who else would they sound like - but they sound *exactly* like themselves from forty, fifty years ago. It's incredible.
