A posse of classic rock obsessed Towson High pupils led by Tommy McEmbree and Ethan Fry ('17) will commemorate the 50th birthday of The Beach Boys' classic 1966 LP Pet Sounds with an all-day gravity bong session.
The album, a baroque-tinged pop masterpiece curated almost entirely by head Beach Boys songwriter/arranger/producer Brian Wilson, famously stands alongside The Beatles' Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band as an innovator of the hippie movement and associated forms of pop psychdelia, as well as the urge to inhale some dank medical hybrid out of an empty 2 liter Mountain Dew bottle.
"We all know Big Boy Bri was up to his nose in sweet green during the writing and recording of all thirteen seminal Pet Sounds jams," says a baked McEmbree, holding up a Spiderman grinder he displaced for his CD copy of the album. "If he wants us to geeb, we'll geeb." No comment from Fry, who is in the middle of a coughing fit which soon spirals into full-on vomiting, all while trying and failing to hit the falsetto on "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)."
