We've had hassles, ups and downs, ins and outs, failures and triumphs. We're human beings, and we're not perfect. And we're mortal. But the Beach Boys is musically a tremendous body of work that transcends individuality and time and national boundaries.

I think the Beach Boys' legacy is 'Fun, Fun, Fun,' you know? We're calling our next tour '50 Years of Fun, Fun, Fun.' By and large, the Beach Boys' legacy is about incredibly positivity. We've traveled around the world and uplifted the spirits of hundreds of millions of people. Our sound is one of the most recognizable in all of music.

Everybody has their own appreciation of the Beach Boys, depending on where they're coming from with their musical tastes, so we tried to be representative of all eras and of everybody in the band and their contributions.

There's the historical part of The Beach Boys' music; it's pretty incredible, pretty vast and pretty varied too.

Good music just makes me happy and keeps me from getting distracted.

I'm so happy I discovered early how wonderful music makes me feel.

I think I got turned onto The Beach Boys for the first time with the 'Endless Summer' album in 1974. The power of that music still, to this day, bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart. You don't have to think about it; it's something that you feel.

I'm the lead singer of the Beach Boys and an ambassador of this amazing music that touched a generation.

I just like playing songs with happy vibes and good feelings.

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.
