I stumbled out of bed at 7.30am this morning and had just one thought. Beach Boys. I propelled myself to hunt down a Beach Boys CD, put it in my Discman and snuggled back in bed. For half an hour it was just me and the Beach Boys, who always sound amazingly upbeat even on their sad songs. So though I found myself listening to them with a huge lump in my throat and on the edge of tears, I also found myself smiling. And that's enough.
