This group signifies yet another facet of the richness and diversity of the music, fashions and culture of California. The Beach Boys started out as just one many surf rock bands from the late 50s SoCal scene. They wrote pseudo-rockabilly tunes about surfing, sunshine, beaches, cars and racing, and girls (of course!) with a Chuck Berry inspirational slant. However their famous doo-wop inflected harmonies made them really stand out from the rest of the pack. They embraced later styles like psychedlia and medley dance hits (the band scored a huge hit with such a dance beat medley in 1981 due to the enormous success of the trend ignited by Stars On 45). Many critics claim that the Beach Boys declined big time after the 60s but basically all their albums have some really good music and are worth checking out. In the mid and late 80s they continued to score hits like "Getcha Back" (it comes with an amuzing video) and the #1 "Kokomo" and "Let's Cruise" from the excellant Lethal Weapon 2 movie.
1. Some people think that the Beach Boys is just "grandma, hotdogs, apple pie" and all that cornball stuff. Yes they do attract some really square folks but many of their hits have a mischievous slant. Look at the monster LSD-soaked smash "Good Vibrations": "gotta keep those loving vibrations a-happening with her..." . Then look at "In My Room". Is it a reference to whacking off in bed or something else?
2. I came home for leave from the military and a few relatives took me out to see the Beach Boys in concert. It was really a terrific show, their famous harmonizing was done brilliantly and they played their instruments quite well. The fun started out with "California Girls" (hey! I was stationed in Cali at the time and the Beach Boys were certainly right about the women there. Oh yeah!). A fun evening, topped off with a killer fireworks show. The only thing wrong with the whole thing was that I was standing on a tier in front of two young girls who did almost nothing but SCREAM.
3. After I returned to my base in California the Beach Boys had a gig in the area. Needless to say all the tix sold out like hotcakes in a matter of minutes. Local heroes, you know.
4. The Beach Boys, unique as they are (like Pink Floyd and U2 also stand out) have influenced many other bands like the Ramones.
5. I have seen live in concert three bands that boast some of the greatest harmonizing in rock'n'roll: The Beach Boys, Huey Lewis and the News, and Def Leppard.

A small community in southern ontario, canada. In the winter the town shuts down for the most part, but in the summer it is a behive of tourism. Great for parties, vacations, etc. Voted the best beach in Ontario!
Also has been known to have the cleanest beach, best funnel cakes and best parties.

A neighborhood in Queens NY located just by the Jamaica Bay, where John Gotti use to live. Howard Beach is infamous for Mafia activities and "racial" crimes. Howard Beach is essentially just like Ozone Park, except the stuff you find in Howard Beach actually has quality to it. Cross Bay Boulevard, a busy 6 lane median divided boulevard that crosses the bay and go to Rockaway, is the major shopping strip for the neighborhood. Howard Beach might be a very attractive neighborhood in Queens with a lot going for it, but it also has the most wiggers out of any neighborhood in Queens NY.
Male- Wanna go to Howard beach, I heard theres some nice restaurants on Cross Bay Blvd over there.
Female- No way, there's too many wiggers there.

A small city in east central Florida in a region known specifically as the Treasure Coast. Has a population of about 20,000.
The city and its surrounding environs can be divided into five different parts:
1. East Vero is characterized by sprawling subdivisions and over-priced track housing with some elements of poverty as well as middle-class homes. The mall and the surrounding businesses are by far the largest attractions this area provides.
2. Central Vero possess the downtown as well as middle-class and some poorer demograohics. Notable here is a small number of historic commercial and recreational buildings, city hall, and the county court house.
3. South Vero is very similar to Central Vero minus the downtown and there are more lower class citizenry.
4. North Vero/Gifford is likely to be one of the poorest and at the same time wealthiest areas of the county. Grand Harbor, an upscale community boasting hundreds of residents, borders a largely African American community with above average numbers of people living below the poverty line.
5. The Vero "Beach" is composed of mostly upper middle to upper class residents who live either in gated/ungated communities or inhabit the plethora of flamboyantly named streets. Despite the area being prone to hurricanes a recent boom in tourism and revenue has sparked renovations to parks and other facilities as well as an increase in expensive housing. This part of town likes to remain aloof of the "mainlanders".
Vero Beach, where dreams come to die.
