Goodbye Surfing, Hello God!

Goodbye Surfing, Hello God!

In 1966, Brian Wilson entered the studio to compose Smile, a Beach Boys album that he believed would change the band, and perhaps the face of popular music, forever. What happened next became legend, as captured by journalist Jules Siegel, who had been given entry into Wilsonâ€™s inner circle. â€œGoodbye Surfing, Hello Godâ€ ran in Cheetah magazine, helping to create the legend and mystery of Wilsonâ€™s madcap genius. Then the story, like the album, disappeared. Now The Atavist has brought to life Siegelâ€™s 1967 classic. Itâ€™s the tale of a musicianâ€™s struggle against his own demons to capture greatness on tape, and to top the Beatles in the process.
