Brian - Loved ice cream and as a kid would chase the ice cream truck.
"The Rocking Surfer" is his adaptation of the Good Humor truck theme.

Dennis - Is there any Beach Boy more identified with cars....from
giving hitchiking Manson girls a ride, to the burning Ferrari, to the
"Two Lane Blacktop" role?

Carl = pre-homicidal Spade Cooley

Al - How do you grow up with a face sometimes compared to that of a
monkey? With a sense of humor, that's how.

Mike - (sigh) Messiah complex, Maharishi complex, call it whatever you
want.

Bruce - Adopted by heirs to the Rexall drug fortune, that git-up was
traditional family garb to him.
