Courting controversy here -- but, you know, nothing ventured etc... "I'm pathologically attached to my comfort zone these days." I winced a little when I reread this remark of mine in the Buxtehude thread but right now I'm afraid it's true. My comfort zone being the non-BB "Discussion Section", which I have bookmarked. Still, attitudes change, just as posters burn all their bridges and then suddenly reappear large as life, so maybe mine will too. The internet is a fickle place, to be sure. I've made it my mission to forge links from here to the main BB section whenever possible. I do understand the need to divide up what is primarily a Beach Boys forum but it doesn't mean the barriers between BB and "non-BB" sections can't be blurred or even razed at times (think of the "covers of BB songs" and "what are you listening to" threads). Indeed, the obituaries of artists only tenuously connected to the Boys occasionally get deposited in the BB section. This used to irk me but I've since come to see it as another step in the blurring process. Anyway, this "timeline" takes the Boys' recording years one at a time. Each post features a favourite BB song of mine (where there's a choice of song), a track by another artist, and a work of art, a painting or sculpture, or maybe even a building, all from the year in question and all without comment. The topic title is lifted from a Gary Numan song. This inaugural post for 1961 features "Surfin'", Roy Orbison's "Running Scared" and Barbara Hepworth's Curved Form (Bryher):
