If you look at the history of music, you have classical composers, church music, pop music, etc. Music that's existed for centuries. I think there are some songs that are close to immortal. They will last longer than we will in this lifetime.
I learned that when you do the best job that you can do, some people will idolize you, others won't care, and some will vilify you.
I think the Beach Boys' legacy is 'Fun, Fun, Fun,' you know? We're calling our next tour '50 Years of Fun, Fun, Fun.' By and large, the Beach Boys' legacy is about incredibly positivity. We've traveled around the world and uplifted the spirits of hundreds of millions of people. Our sound is one of the most recognizable in all of music.
I meditate every day, which is profoundly restful and restorative. It wipes out a lot of the fatigue. That's my secret weapon.
People say the Beatles were John Lennon. What is Paul McCartney? Chopped liver? But everyone has their own favourite members whose creativity they gravitate to. That's normal.
Sometimes I listen to '60s or oldies stations to see if they're going to play a Beach Boys song.
