I vaguely recall a quote from, I think, Teen Set, the cover of which was displayed Sunday night during the A&E documentary. The magazine was issued by Capitol, if I remember right, and there was also an issue about the Beatles.

I might not have the quote exactly right. But that's the only reference from John about the Beach Boys that I can recall in 30-plus years of following both groups.

If you have any comments on this topic, psychedelismile@yahoo.com and I will try to promptly post any interesting replies.
