Times do change

As I do every summer, I'm scanning the entertainment listings of county fairs around the state to see if any good acts are coming. (I'm still reeling from the George Jones show at the Wisconsin Valley Fair in Wausau a couple of years ago.) I'm struck by the photograph of the Wednesday headliner at the Fond du Lac County Fair: the Beach Boys. If I'm not mistaken, two people in that photograph are dead (Carl and Dennis Wilson) and one no longer tours with the Beach Boys (Al Jardine). That leaves just two: Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. I suppose that is more than none.
