698 The Beach Boys “All Summer Long” 1964

“by 1964, the Beach Boys were firmly entrenched as one of the most successful American pop groups. The band had come a long way from Brian Wilson and Al Jardine’s original dream. ‘when the Beach Boys started, I wanted us to be a folk group,’ Jardine said. ‘As it turns out, the group has become America’s balladeers regarding music; the folk myths, the experience of this country’” (Charles Granata, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, 2003).
