   BOB...GREAT story...what a gift you were given by the R&R universe!   
      
   I am SO happy to hear that Al is with them...he's been treated like crap for   
   most of the 200s, and meanwhile he's the most lucid and now seems to be the   
   most gifted remaining Beach Boy...I mean, the man plays AND sings...in full   
   voice!   
      
   so, tell me something...did you see any interaction between Al and Brian?   
   how about Al and the rest of the band
