As Beach Boys film "Love & Mercy" arrives Friday, WTOP's Dave Preston recalls five highs and lows.
Introduction
The new movie “Love & Mercy” premieres Friday with an in-depth look at Beach Boys star Brian Wilson. Actually, it’s two looks: Paul Dano plays the Wilson of the ’60s that’s about to lose himself thanks to LSD, and John Cusack plays the shattered Wilson of the ’80s.
The Beach Boys began as a teenage collection of three brothers, one cousin and a high school buddy catching a ride on the surfing music wave but became so much more…and then so much less.
WTOP’s Dave Preston has compiled a list of fives songs that capture the band’s highs and lows.
