   Any way ya' slice it, to Beach Boy fans, this is one great swansong. I've   
   been called names - literally been YELLED AT - for liking this track, but   
   who cares? It's a cool song, sounds exactly like the BB in their prime   
   (That's my main reason for defending it!) and, sadly it's the last 'real,   
   honest-to-goodness' Beach Boys recording. Yes, that 'slurpy-sax' interlude   
   could have been a little less cloying, but I still like the tune after all   
   these years. And to me, that's what makes good music great.   
      
   I've been made sport of my my 'hip music friends' for liking this song, but   
   I can take it. Brian is soooo all over this track 'in spirit', it doesn't   
   matter if he didn't play the session. Hell, I've had people laugh at me for   
   simply liking the BB too! Ah, ignorance is truly bliss.
