As the editor of fanzine Endless Summer Quarterly for more than 30 years, David Beard has likely interviewed The Beach Boys more than anyone. So it's only right that he would gather some of his best discussions into a great new book, titled All Summer Long: Conversations with The Beach Boys from Surfin' to SMiLE. David joins Mark and Phil to discuss how a writer stays objective when he has a long relationship with a band. He also talks about how he got Brian Wilson to open up; how Brian and Tony Asher wanted other artists to cover songs off Pet Sounds; was it wise to market Brian as a genius; why Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered and Unplugged is one of his favorite releases; the importance of Jan & Dean in the story; the sad passing of Mike's sister, harpist Maureen Love; and his secret wish for Drew Barrymore.
