Pat Boone were in the late sixties, early seventies.
Surf music was cool. So was Dixieland.
The Beach Boys conservatism was only Mike Love? Gimme a break. The band went along. They played at Vet affairs and refused to participate in many larger "peace" concerts.
It's a good thing they did, too.
They'd of been laughed off the stage.
You know those guys you see around S. California with the old surf boards and the spaced out eyes? That's how relevant the BBs were.
Hell, surf music was an asterisk, anyhow.
The Beatles pulled the toilet chain on that kind of music and thank God!
Imagine listening to that and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "The Duke of Earl" for the next ten years.
Christ.
