Mike Love Shares Beach Boys Stories, Talks New Music

At 79-years-old, you might not expect to hear of Mike Love, co-founding member of the famed group, The Beach Boys, writing new music. But that’s exactly what the long time surf-rocker has been up to. On May 1st, Love (along with John Stamos of Full Housefame on drums) released his latest song, “This Too Shall Pass,” a rollicking little ditty about maintaining patience during the pandemic that assures the listener that will be a light at the end of this COVID-19 tunnel.

We caught up with Love to ask him about the origins of the new single, what he’s been doing while social distancing (hint: meditation), what it was like growing up in a musical family, and much more Beach Boys-centric history.
