A fun meditation,but I had thought that one of the advantages of reaching one's 40s was that one no longer had to worry too much about cool/uncool. De gustibus non disputandum, and all that. But I'm decidedly uncool these days, so take that for what it's worth.

I have to laugh because I had no idea that the Beach Boys were uncool. . ."back in the day" we used to mix the latest punk 45s with those of girl groups, British Invasion, Lenny Kaye's Nuggets LP, and, yeah, Beach Boys, and when The Last came out we thought they were the grooviest. I know my resident psych collector has a number of Beach Boys LPs on the wall (but he's on a plane to Athens so I can't confirm which ones.) I'm glad you wrote this post, it reminds me to put your book in the queue!
