View the Plaque That the Beach Boys Received

On September 2, 1977, on this very spot, THE BEACH BOYS performed for the largest concert audience EVER assembled in the history of Rhode Island, a record that has never been broken. Over 40,000 fans gathered to watch their performance at the Narragansett Park Race Track here in Pawtucket, RI, essentially increasing the population of the city by 50% for one day. The band included founding members Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine, along with their backing musicians Charles Lloyd, Ed Carter, Billy Hinsche, Bobby Figueroa, Carli Munoz, Elmo Peeler, and their horn section, Tornado. British hit-maker Leo Sayer served as opening act for the show. The concert also had the distinction of being the largest payday for The Beach Boys in their career up until that point. The band played selections in support of their new album, 'The Beach Boys Love You,' and the concert took place two weeks before the release of Dennis Wilson's acclaimed album, 'Paciﬁc Ocean Blue.' In addition to being the location of the biggest musical audience in the state's history, this spot is also notable for having hosted the largest gathering ever for a sporting event in Rhode Island, on Labor Day 1934. This continued the tradition of many historical moments on this site, including the launch of the legendary champion Seabiscuit's career. Amazing how this one mile-long oval race track, which held over 40,000 music fans in its center, being surrounded by years and years of sheer power of some of the world's fastest championship thoroughbred horses of a by-gone era, racing, circling what would become the concert site, absolutely contributed to the incredible energy of the The Beach Boys' fans on that historic summer day. The record-breaking concert that took place on September 2, 1977 was a truly crowning moment in Rhode Island Musical History, especially since it happened with "America's Band" in the birthplace of our nation. Commemoration Chairs: Al Gomes Connie Watrous Mayor Donald R. Grebien.

His love of surfing inspired the others to adopt the image that launched the band, and his further adventures in the worlds of fast cars, fast bikes, and fast women continued to fuel the imagination and song catalog of his older brother and cousin. But in the first five or six years of their career, his musical contributions were limited to drumming and singing backup (and sometimes not even that), with an occasional lead vocal opportunity (either covers of other artists or new songs that Brian and Mike would throw his way). However, with Brian Wilson's retreat from full artistic control of the band in 1967, the other members (Dennis included) began to be relied upon more and more for compositional and production efforts. Dennis' first contributions in this respect appear on the 1968 Friends album, and would continue over the next five years; tunes like "Little Bird", "Be With Me", "Celebrate The News", and "Forever" were highlights of the late '60s-early '70s Beach Boys era. In order for Dennis to evolve musically into something more than "just the fun-loving playboy drummer", he needed to master a melodic/chordal instrument well enough to compose on it.

Postmodernism and Rock Music As Countercultural
OUTSIDERS, OUTCASTS, AND OUTLAWS: POSTMODERNISM AND ROCK MUSIC AS COUNTERCULTURAL FORCES IN SALMAN RUSHDIE'S THE GROUND BENEATH HER FEET by DAN HUTT B.A., University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1993 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of English College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Dr. Dean Hall ABSTRACT Salman Rushdie's 1999 novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet is ostensibly a rock 'n' roll novel, largely set in the 1960s, that traces the commercial rise of Indian rock star protagonists Vina Apsara and Ormus Cama. As their fame and wealth rise to global status and their stage show comes to entail a logistical complexity of military proportions, it becomes increasingly difficult to discern the couple's earlier countercultural ideals within their new established culture status. I argue that despite the change from countercultural to establishment-based values in the novel's protagonists, Rushdie does make a case in The Ground Beneath Her Feet for the possibility of countercultural efficacy against the commodifying culture of global capitalism (which I refer to as the "Frame"). His recipe for combating the exclusive hierarchies produced by the Frame is a combination of the non-totalizing politics of postmodernism and the subversive potential of uncommodified rock music. I pay close attention to establishing the historical templates--John Lennon of the Beatles and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys--of the novel's protagonists in an effort to understand the sort of countercultural alternative Rushdie is proposing. I likewise focus on the novel's depiction of the Beach Boys' Smile album, which as a still commercially unreleased record, reinforces Rushdie's imperative in The Ground Beneath Her Feet for an uncommodifying counterculture and works in tandem with his portrayals of the artistic plights of several minor characters in the novel as well.

IN MY ROOM Feuille D’Information Consacrée À Brian Wilson Et Aux Beach Boys N° 5 – Eté 2006
IN MY ROOM Feuille d’information consacrée à Brian Wilson et aux Beach Boys N° 5 – Eté 2006 DENNIS WILSON Edito C’est l’été ! Comme promis, voici donc la deuxième et les BEACH BOY S partie de l’histoire de Dennis Wilson. Et comme un bonheur n’arrive jamais seul, 2ème partie, 1969 - 1983 un de nos reporters a croisé Carolyn Edwards. Dennis trouve sa voie (1969 √ 1975) Et comme deux bonheurs n’arrivent jamais A la fin des années soixante, les Beach Boys sont globalement largués : les seuls, un nouvel album (sic) des Beach problèmes de Brian, leur identification tenace avec la Californie de papa au Boys, une possible réunion sur scène des moment où celle-ci devient « l’épicentre de la contre-culture underground »1, tout cela et le reste – à commencer par leur nom ridicule Garçons et Capitol qui innove follement ! les renvoie dans les poubelles de l’histoire musicale californienne dont on ne souhaite pas vraiment les voir ressortir, malgré leur bonne volonté (Mike Mais, bientôt l’automne, avec un n° 6 accompagne les Beatles à Rishikesh, Carl est objecteur de conscience, ils consacré à la période « Brian’s Back ». jouent régulièrement au Fillmore East, tournent avec le Buffalo Toutes les contributions sont les bienvenues. Springfield…). C’est le moment justement que choisit Dennis pour tout tenter et, provisoirement, tout réussir. Vous savez où nous trouver ! Enjoy ! Charlie Dontsurf une version, elle aussi magnifique, 2 ans plus tard3. Déclaration d’indépendance ? Difficile à affirmer puisque « Lady » fait partie des nombreux morceaux enregistrés pour le premier album chez Warner qui finira par s’intituler « Sunflower » (voir IMR 2) ; quant à « Sound of free », il bénéficie de larges contributions des frères Wilson : Carl à la guitare, Brian aux backing vocals.
