The Beach Boys are one of the most beloved rock acts of all time, with songs and albums popular today. The band even still tours, but not with its original lineup. In 2012, they attempted to bring some of the founding members back, which ended in controversy for the Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys’ success made a reunion tour extremely popular
The Beach Boys started performing in the ’60s and were made up of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. The group soon found worldwide success with singles like “Surfin’ U.S.A,” “Good Vibrations,” and “Help Me, Rhonda.”
As the years went on, the original group pmembers either left to pursue other things or simply lost interest in touring. So, when the group announced in 2012 that they were launching a tour with some of the group’s original members, including Brian Wilson, Jardine,...

George Harrison‘s wife, Olivia, thought her husband’s performance of “The Pirate Song” on Rutland Weekend Television was the bravest thing he ever did. The former Beatle proved he’d do anything for comedy.

In 1975, Eric Idle and Neil Innes created a sketch that followed a fictional band based on The Beatles called The Rutles. The sketch appeared on Idle’s BBC television series Rutland Weekend Television later that year.
In 1976, Idle played clips of The Rutles on SNL. Producer Lorne Michaels liked the sketch and agreed to produce The Rutles‘ movie, All You Need Is Cash, with Idle. The Rutles line-up included Ron Nasty (Innes), Dirk McQuickly (Idle), Stig O’Hara (Ricky Fataar), and Barry Wom (John Halsey).
George was involved from the start. He immediately signed on to play a reporter.

Searching for Sugar Man
Directed by: Malik Bendjelloul
Documentary
Running Time: 1 hr 26 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: August 10, 2012
Plot: A documentary about the mystery of Detroit songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who wrote two albums in the early 70s and then was rumored to have killed himself.
Who’S It For? You don’t have to know anything about the musical artist Rodriguez before seeing this documentary. But you will definitely be a fan of him after you leave.
Overall
Twenty minutes into Searching for Sugar Man, I thought I was watching a ruse. It had to be. How could I have never heard of this musician, if his two albums were reportedly so great? (And this is when the film had only shown me a couple songs). With comparisons to Bob Dylan being thrown around, I figured this “Rodriguez” guy was just a parody of Dylan, much like Ricky Fataar parodied...

Latest: Funnyman Eric Idle's mock Beatles, The Rutles, performed live for the first time in Hollywood on Monday night.
Following a question-and-answer session at the Egyptian Theatre, which marked the first time the quartet had appeared together since making 1978 mockumentary All You Need Is Cash, Idle and bandmates Neil Innes, John Halsey and Ricky Fataar took to the stage at a Vip party.
The sold-out event was held to mark the 30th anniversary of the film, which the four-piece introduced at the beginning of the evening.
Celebrities who turned up to salute the mock rockers included Andy Summers, Jeff Lynne, Peter + Gordon star Peter Asher and The Simpsons regular Dan Castellaneta.
Asked about their 'reunion' after 30 years apart, Idle quipped, "This is the first time in history that a band has reunited before they have actually united in the first place!"
There was a surprise in store for the Rutles - 'reunion' instigator and 30th anniversary celebration host Martin Lewis read out a message from Sir Mick Jagger.
Jagger appeared as himself throughout the original 1978 film and, in the closing scene of the film, he was asked if he thought the Rutles would ever reunite. His response: "Hope not!"
Playing on that, Jagger sent the band the following message: "After all the on and off promises and cancelled shows, I can't believe you have finally decided - at your great age - to defy all the odds and recreate your magnificent past. I wish I could be there. If only to laugh!"...
Following a question-and-answer session at the Egyptian Theatre, which marked the first time the quartet had appeared together since making 1978 mockumentary All You Need Is Cash, Idle and bandmates Neil Innes, John Halsey and Ricky Fataar took to the stage at a Vip party.
The sold-out event was held to mark the 30th anniversary of the film, which the four-piece introduced at the beginning of the evening.
Celebrities who turned up to salute the mock rockers included Andy Summers, Jeff Lynne, Peter + Gordon star Peter Asher and The Simpsons regular Dan Castellaneta.
Asked about their 'reunion' after 30 years apart, Idle quipped, "This is the first time in history that a band has reunited before they have actually united in the first place!"
There was a surprise in store for the Rutles - 'reunion' instigator and 30th anniversary celebration host Martin Lewis read out a message from Sir Mick Jagger.
Jagger appeared as himself throughout the original 1978 film and, in the closing scene of the film, he was asked if he thought the Rutles would ever reunite. His response: "Hope not!"
Playing on that, Jagger sent the band the following message: "After all the on and off promises and cancelled shows, I can't believe you have finally decided - at your great age - to defy all the odds and recreate your magnificent past. I wish I could be there. If only to laugh!"...

And Rutlemania will continue at the Blender Theater in the Big Apple from 24 March and run until 29 March - Idle's 65th birthday.
The anniversary celebrations in Los Angeles also include the first time the original Rutles - Dirk McQuickly, Barry Wom, Stig O'Hara and Ron Nasty - have appeared in public together; the quartet made no personal appearances at the time of the film's 1978 premiere.
