THE BEACH BOYS WITHOUT BRIAN WILSON! Continuing with the "August Of Summer" we're looking at another under-performing Beach Boys album. Is this what you would expect the Beach Boys to sound like if you only knew them from "Kokomo"? How could an album with so much cross-promotion on television fail so spectacularly? Who writes the songs that make the whole world sing? Just how bland was TV in the nineties? Which of these cover songs are merely desecrations and which are full-on sacrilege? Does Mike Love have more hip-hop cred than Dee Dee Ramone? Have the Beach Boys been on the "Full House" reboot yet? Why isn't America considered America's band? Can one be a Trump supporter and an environmentalist at the same time? Does Ringo Starr remember playing with the Beach Boys? And what was the name of that guy in the Reagan administration who tried to ban the Beach Boys? It was James Watt. The answers to the other questions will all be revealed in this episode of Detours and Outliers.
