Hang On To Your Ego T shirt

(also available in red - put the colour you'd like in the Paypal notes when you pay!)

Here's a little T shirt we've created to commemorate one of Brian Wilson's best songs. Written by him and Tony Asher. Mike Love objected to the title of the song and some of the lyrics and insisted that it be amended before being included on Pet Sounds.
"I was aware that Brian was beginning to experiment with LSD and other psychedelics," explained Love. "The prevailing drug jargon at the time had it that doses of LSD would shatter your ego, as if that were a positive thing... I wasn't interested in taking acid or getting rid of my ego." Jardine recalled that the decision to change the lyrics was ultimately Wilson's. "Brian was very concerned. He wanted to know what we thought about it. To be honest, I don't think we even knew what an ego was... Finally Brian decided, 'Forget it. I'm changing the lyrics. There's too much controversy.'" Terry Sachen, who co-wrote the revised lyrics to this song, was the Beach Boys' road manager in 1966.
The song was renamed to "I Know There's an Answer" and was sung by Mike Love and Alan Jardine with Brian Wilson singing lead on the choruses.
