Hello from Austin, TX! I've been a member for about a month now or so, just finally getting around to introducing myself.
I've been a music nut as long as I can remember, country music being what I grew up on as a kid. But something changed for me in 2003, and that was the Sounds of Summer commercials all over the TV during the summer. Almost overnight, I became a Beach Boys fanatic! Being a thirteen-year-old their in southwest Texas along the border during those years, I took plenty of lumps from my friends and classmates listening to the Boys. But I didn't care; looking back, it's more of a badge of honor for myself. I'm glad I stayed on that road. Opened the doors to all other kinds of bands and singers from the 60s and 70s.
Nineteen years, thirteen books, a bunch of documentaries, countless CDs and albums later, I'm still standing! The hits, the story of Brian and Smile, those brought me into this world of fandom; appreciating Sunflower, discovering Pacific Ocean Blue and Dennis' story kept me going and digging deeper; now the Boys are just part of my life!
Being in my early thirties now, it's a bit more acceptable to people these days that I listen to this music. Looking at all the Copyright Extension releases, the Sirius station the last few summers, the box sets, I truly am lucky to be around this day and age. I can only imagine what it was like for fans back in the day who didn't have all this access!
Thanks for letting me on here, dont know how much I'll be posting, but I do enjoy killing time on here!
