My mom had to beg the guys to let me play. I couldn't even play the drums right - Brian had to show me.

I can tell you the day The Beach Boys will no longer exist - never. We'll be on stage in wheelchairs.

Brian was the oldest, I was in the middle and Carl was the baby. I was the troublemaker. Brian got great grades and Carl got the kind of grades I did. I failed everything. I was too busy fighting and running wild.

Loneliness is a very special place, Silently silently you touch my face
