I noticed that on the Beach Boys’ ‘Pet Sounds’ record they could get away with racy lyrics like that because of how they looked and the melodic way they sang the suggestive stuff. They slid it by the censors.
Long Beach is fast. Every day, you hear something bad; somebody gets hurt.
I would love to go to a restaurant on the beach. And that could be in Miami or that could be in Malibu or Bahamas, Mexico.
I like when we do houses in the beach cities, because we can go a little crazier with budget. It’s fun to do more original things like wallpapers and high-end design.
I like the desert for short periods of time, from inside a car, with the windows rolled up, and the doors locked. I prefer beach resorts with room service.
A simple life is good with me. I don’t need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I’m happy.
Sometime in the early Seventies, gender-free toys were briefly a popular idea. So at Christmas on the California beach in 1972, we downplayed the dolls with frilly dresses and loaded up Santa’s sack with toy trucks and earth movers for our three daughters.
My favourite city is Miami. It’s very fresh and the beach is sunny.
To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
The great thing about the beach they use in ‘Home & Away’ is that they can’t kick you off it, so there were always tons of Irish people on it all the time.
The Beach Boys already had about four or five albums under our belt when these newcomers, The Beatles, took the U.S. by storm in early 1964.
Growing up in Florida was really amazing. I spent most my time at the beach.
