Publisher's Synopsis
In the war zone-embedded with the Beach Boys: In 1976, the Beach Boys were at war with themselves. "America's Band" was a dysfunctional family business, pitting brother against brother, and cousin against cousin. Beach Boys' frontman Mike Love kept the band on the road as an "oldies" group with Carl and Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine. Meanwhile, their creative genius, Brian Wilson, was back home in bed, in real danger of becoming a drug statistic. The Beach Boys' manager, Stephen Love, put together a brilliant plan to rescue Brian and bring the Beach Boys back from the edge of obscurity. Rocky Pamplin, a former NFL player (and nude Playgirl centerfold), and Stan Love, a former LA Laker, were hired to keep the drug dealers away and whip Brian back into shape. Rocky tells the inside story of the Beach Boys' miracle comeback with the "Brian's Back" campaign. Join Rocky, Wilson brothers Dennis, Carl, and Brian, their Love cousins Mike, Stephen, and Stan, and Al Jardine as they play and brawl their way around the world.
