THE BEACH Boys meet Elvis! Beach Boys tour with London Philharmonic Orchestra? Bruce Johnston sings Lennon and McCartney! Beach Boys to do rock 'n' roll with Gene Vincent? Beach Boys concerts to raise half a million dollars for the Guru's Foundation? You can take your choice from those subjects which were all part of a 40 minute Transatlantic phone call from Bruce Johnston.
