It’s funny you mention Brian and the Beach Boys because when we heard of his death it reminded us of our first trip to the USA and California.
It was 1979 and my first holiday with a new girlfriend who became my wife ……..still is !
We were arguing which was the first song we heard on the radio in the metallic blue Firebird (or was it a Camaro?) we had hired . It was miraculously a Beach Biy song, I thought California Girls and my wife thinks it was Help me Rhonda. We have it written down in a comprehensive travel diary of that amazing trip and.car pictures but we are away so cannot confirm the song. Perhaps we did the same or a similar trip Lowebird ?
LA, up Highway 1 stopping off at various places including where Alan Alder/Ellen Burstyn film Same Time Next Year was filmed…great film pity never on TV…..San Fran, Fort Bragg, Yosemite, Death Valley Las Vegas, SanDiego and Tijuana (with the rental ) ……..don’t think we should have gone there really.
Still we can boogie on to Katy P and California GURLS !!
Peace and Love, MM
