The one thing that kept our family together was the music. The only thing that our family would share emotionally was to have our dad cry over something the kids did with music.
My mom had to beg the guys to let me play. I couldn't even play the drums right - Brian had to show me.
The Beach Boys are not a superstar group. The music is the superstar of the group.
My dad was a tyrant. He used to physically beat the crap out of us.
He just had a very unique way of expressing himself physically with his kids.
I can tell you the day The Beach Boys will no longer exist - never. We'll be on stage in wheelchairs.
There will always be a Beach Boys. Being a Beach Boy is like being in love.
All I need is a big surfboard and a piano.
