AirVenture '06 Concert

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2006 to Finish High-Flying Opening Day with Beach
Boys Concert on July 24

After a full opening day of flying on Monday, July 24 at EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2006, AeroShell Square will be full of ³Fun, Fun, Fun² that
evening as the Beach Boys bring in their sounds of summer, compliments
of the Ford Motor Company.
The performance, free of charge to all AirVenture guests that day, will
be held at 6-8 p.m. adjacent to the Ford Motor Company Hangar on
AeroShell Square.
³Our friends at Ford wanted to give EAA members and AirVenture guests
something special and fun to thank them for their support,² said Tom
Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman. ³When Ford approached
us with this opportunity, we thought it would be an exciting way to
round out what promises to be an extraordinary opening day at Oshkosh.²
Like EAA AirVenture, the Beach Boys are a quintessentially American
original that has gained a devoted international following through the
past 40-plus years. Led by co-founder Mike Love and longtime band member
Bruce Johnston, the Beach Boys are among the most recognizable
performers in music history.
³Iconic cars such as the Ford Mustang, Roadster and Thunderbird inspired
a generation of cruising music that remains a big part of American
culture,² said Jill Fannon, manager of Ford Global Events and Marketing.
³Who better than the Beach Boys to highlight air and land transportation
with the coolest summer tunes at aviation¹s biggest family reunion?²
The Beach Boys have sold more than 100 million albums over the past four
decades. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988
and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in 2001. The band also continues
touring today, playing their magical ³California surf sound² at more
than 100 dates per year.
The opening-day concert at EAA AirVenture, along with Ford Motor
Company¹s vehicles used during the event, its notable consumer presence
at the fly-in and discounts on Ford Motor Company vehicles for EAA
members, continues to highlight Ford¹s support for EAA. Additional
highlights and benefits for EAA members and AirVenture attendees will be
offered by Ford during this year¹s fly-in.
³Ford is bringing the Beach Boys to AirVenture to say thanks to EAA
members for making them welcome at Oshkosh and as part of the
organization,² Poberezny said. ³EAA and Ford share a passion for
innovation, technology and high standards that is personified in EAA¹s
unique culture so evident during AirVenture.²

Well, that's a new twist. It sounds like great fun!


Looks like my guy, Bob Seger, didn't make the final cut. g

Anybody whose heard the remnents of the Beach Boys in the last 15-20 years
knows they suck. I heard them in their last big 4th of July concert on the
Mall in Washington DC in... I think 1986... and it was a good thing we
were all drunk, because they sucked.

Thank goodness I never go to Oshkosh.
