January Birthdays 
I saw Brian Wilson and his band at the Norwegian Wood festival in Oslo yesterday. I know he doesn't play instrumental surf, but I have to say: It was kinda cool. And a little strange.
I mean here's a guy that wrote all these great songs about surfing and beach-life, and was in the middle of everything in the 60's. A legend.
All that he did though was sitting behind a keyboard which wasn't even plugged in (the sound from it was super-low anyway), singing and in a way directing the band.
But people loved it! Pepole who grew up in the 60's and teenagers alike.
And when he did a surfer-stomp kind of dance-thing near the end, I saw a glimpe of pure surfculture.
I'm not a huge fan of The Beach Boys, but that was awesome!
