FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK---THE BEACH BOYS by B.A. Bartell The Beach Boys sang in ‘Surfin’ U.S.A”, their first hit single: “Everybody’s gone Surfin’, Surfin’ U.S.A.”. Everybody that is, except for the Beach Boys. (With the exception of Dennis Wilson- barely). Brian Wilson, the group's song writer and occasional lead vocalist admitted "I wouldn't go out surfin'. I was scared of the water." A somewhat surprising admission from the man who fronted a group that became surf music's most popular proponents. That could be considered the equivalent of Cheech and Chong claiming they didn't like to smoke marijuana.
