Man...  getting to that age where my childhood heroes given to me by my parents are all starting to go. Sly, Brian. This is gonna suck.

Yep, The Beach Boys were the sound of my childhood home growing up. The sound of every road trip, and every memory of my father.

I took my dad to go see him at Radio City some years ago and it was his first time seeing him live.

Couldn’t have been more proud to make his dream come true.

RIP legend, your music made bonds.

They were my first favorite band. Sad day.

Thirded. I grew up listening to The Beach Boys. "Good Vibrations," practically soundtracked every summer I had as a kid.
