What was the dispute between chuck berry and the beach boys?
"Surfin' U.S.A.," The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys' hit song "Surfin' U.S.A." is set to the melody of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," but Chuck Berry had never given the Beach Boys permission to use his song. Years after the song's initial release, Chuck Berry successfully sued the Beach Boys, causing all subsequent releases of "Surfin' U.S.A." on compilation albums to credit Berry alongside Brian Wilson, who wrote the new lyrics.

Did the Beach Boys write Einstein on the beach?
No, they did not. Einstein On The Beach is an opera written by minimalist composer Phillip Glass and directed for the theatre by Robert Wilson (not a Beach Boy).
The opera inspired a song by Counting Crows called "Einstein On The Beach (For An Eggman)" which was not written by any of the Beach Boys.
Finally, because Albert Einstein died in 1955, six years before the formation of the group, it is not possible that The Beach Boys wrote Einstein while on the beach -- unless they were very young kids sitting in the sand doing a civics or science project.

Mike Love, Brian Wilson and Al Jardine are alive. Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson aren't.

How can the brain know what an object is by only touching it?
To put it simply, your brain has different centers for different functions, e.g. center for storing visual data, another for storing audible data, another for interpretation, and so on... So when you touch an object, nerve impulses from tiny "sensory nerve endings" in your fingers are transmitted to your brain, and cooperation occurs between the different centers in order to recall the image or texture of the object being touched.
Michael "Mike" Love (the Beach Boys) is 77 years old (birthdate: March 15, 1941).
What impact did The Beach Boys leave on the music industry and on the world?
The Beach Boys significantly influenced the music industry by pioneering the use of complex harmonies, innovative production techniques, and thematic storytelling in pop music, particularly with their iconic album "Pet Sounds." Their blend of rock, pop, and surf music helped shape the California sound and inspired countless artists across various genres. Additionally, their exploration of themes such as youth, love, and the American experience resonated globally, making them cultural icons and contributing to the broader counterculture movement of the 1960s. Their legacy endures, as their music continues to inspire new generations of musicians and listeners alike.
The song you're thinking of is likely "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley. Its melancholic vibe and choruses evoke a similar feel to The Beach Boys' harmonies. The "ah wooooo oooo ooooo" part in the chorus aligns with the dreamy, nostalgic quality of the song. If it’s not that one, it might be worth checking out other tracks that have a similar sound and style.

Generally speaking, Brian Wilson and Mike Love shared lead vocals in the early years of the Beach Boys, with Brian singing in a higher register or falsetto and Mike singing in a lower register with a nasal quality to his vocals. Quite often, Mike sang lead on verses and Brian sang lead on choruses. However, the other Beach Boys also sang lead vocals on recordings and in concert. For example, Al Jardine sang lead on "Help Me, Rhonda" and Carl Wilson sang lead on "Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows." After Brian stopped touring, Carl began singing the songs that Brian had previously been the lead vocalist.
