In this long-overdue episode, Lisa and Sean discuss the recent GRAMMY Salute to The Beach Boys aired this spring in celebration of the band’s 60th anniversary, and the baffling ignorance shown by the Recording Academy’s shortsightedness in recognizing The Beach Boys and other bands over the years. And while we’re at it, we take a look at 25 Years Together: A Celebration in Waikiki.



Recorded June 25, 2023
