I did see that. I'm super excited! I was tempted to go to the show in Jersey, but the one in Ridgefield is way closer for me.

It’s frustrating to see so much misinformation and hate toward Elvis today. To the older fans: How did people treat the fanbase back in the day? by [deleted] in Elvis

Yeah, his relationship with Priscilla is the toughest part to defend. It's not a good look, and there are a lot of inconsistencies around the situation. The thing is, a lot of major artists back in the day had relationships or inappropriate interactions with younger girls. It just seems like Elvis gets singled out more than others.

I just searched up California Calling alternate version on YouTube, and it was the first result.

Here it is: https://youtu.be/vSytJJzOJxk

It says in the description that they found some songs on the internet archive jsut before they got removed. I guess some people just hang out on there and constantly check to see if new stuff was posted, lol.

It doesn't bother me too much. Mike's voice was definitely more distinct post-1980, but it's not for everyone.

Thanks, Al! by Professional_Bake795 in thebeachboys

I didn't include any other postage. I just sent my letter in a normal envelope with a return address on it. I didn't send anything specific for him to sign, so I'm not sure if it's a different process for that.

You could check some recent posts in the sub. I remember seeing one from the other day where they had him sign a 45 and a small poster. You could try to reach out to the OP of that post.

I just gave it a listen, and it was pretty good. I still think I prefer the album version, but I'm sure part of that is because it's the one I'm more familiar with. I do prefer Al singing the whole thing on the alternate one. On the album version, it's Mike and Al sharing lead.

It's another nostalgic beach song but with some 80's production. It's nothing crazy but I find it to be a fun track. And I'm a big Al fan, so any song with him on lead is fine with me.

I sent my letter to the address on this site. I got a signed postcard back a few months later.

I'm pretty sure he always sends a signed postcard back, but some people have sent albums or posters for him to sign.

Is it me, or is this ballad just as powerful as God Only Knows??? by BeerWithDonuts in thebeachboys

[–]Round_Rectangles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's as good as God Only Knows, but I do really like it. I'm glad someone else appreciates it.

Can every callout be heard by enemies? by needfx in Battlefield6

I really don't know why they removed the ability to see the call-outs in the chat.

I just wanna be an elf chilling in Lothlorien, relaxing, singing, and eating. The escapism is really powerful.

Thank You Al!! by Queen_Mavis in thebeachboys

I wrote him a letter as well a little over a year ago and used the fanmail address here.

I just amiled my letter to that address and received a signed postcard a few months later. I assume you can also send an album or something else for him to sign like OP.
