Brian Wilson, Beach Boys Singer and Hot-Rod Icon, Has Died at 82
Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, has died at the age of 82. In the early 1960s, Wilson's music brought SoCal hot-rodding culture to the world. He wasn't a hot-rodder himself, but he did nurture a love for the Chevrolet Corvette. As the co-founder of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson brought an idealized view of early '60s SoCal living across the United States and around the world: sun, sand, surf, and a hot set of wheels. He died this week at age 82 and leaves behind a catalog of some of the most iconic entries in the American songbook and some of the best summer cruising music ever written. Born in Hawthorne, California, in 1942, Wilson grew up surrounded by drag strips and racetracks, coming of age in the time fictionally portrayed in American Graffiti. Famously, most of the Beach Boys weren't actually surfers themselves, and likewise, Wilson wasn't much of a car guy. However, he grew up steeped in an environment of hot-rod culture, and it couldn't help but percolate into his music. getty images 1963's "Little Deuce Coupe" is probably the best-known car-themed Beach Boys tune. A deuce is, of course, a '32 Ford, the kind of plain-Jane car a youngster could pick up for newspaper-delivery money, then swap in V-8 power and hit the tarmac. That flathead mill was ported and relieved and stroked and bored, and it purred like a kitten until the lake pipes roared. You can thank DJ and producer Roger Christian for most of the hot-rodding jargon on "Deuce Coupe," but it was Wilson who fishhooked catchiness that you just couldn't shake. Again and again, the Beach Boys hit the top of the charts with songs like "I Get Around," "Good Vibrations," and "Surfin' USA." getty images Plenty of other Beach Boys songs reference cars and car culture, including "409," written about a big-block Chevy V-8, and "Fun Fun Fun," with its Ford Thunderbird. "Shut Down," released the same year as "Little Deuce Coupe," features a blow-by-blow street race between a Max Wedge Mopar and a Corvette Stingray. Wilson himself seems to have enjoyed Corvettes, and he owned a few. In 1989, with the popularity of "Kokomo" proving the Beach Boys could still create hits, Wilson produced "In My Car," all about the feeling of cruising in a Vette. A few years later, Wilson ordered his own Corvette ZR-1, cherry red. Considered hugely influential and one of the first music producers to harness studio production as part of the creative process, Wilson changed the landscape of pop music. You can pay him no better tribute than by queuing up some of the Beach Boys' greatest hits, rolling down the windows, and cruising off on a warm summer's eve, looking for a good vantage spot to watch the sunset.

Parked cars jam up road repairs in Plumas Lake in slurry standoff
PLUMAS LAKE — Routine roadwork in Plumas Lake is hitting some roadblocks, with cars parked in the way of crews trying to extend the life of the roads. Crews are working on 24 miles in the area. They started on Monday and will be working for at least the next three weeks. The message is this: move your car when your street is on the schedule. "You want to do slurry seal every five to 10 years, and Plumas Lake residents pay an extra property tax assessment to help fund that work," said Yuba County Supervisor Gary Bradford. Taxpayers in Plumas Lake could end up paying extra for slurry crews to come back and finish the job because of cars that aren't supposed to be parked on the street. "We actually have a big issue with that, and I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if they don't see the signs or read the notices," Bradford said. Bradford says residents are notified at least 72 hours in advance by signage on barricades, notices at each house and posts on the county's social media pages. But some people still aren't getting the memo. "If you park on the street, you can and will be towed by CHP," Bradford said. He speculates that since CHP is who responds to tow people, they might be out handling more pressing issues and there could be a delay in the towing process. But the work must continue, so for now, crews are slurrying around the cars. "We have to go around and on a different day we'll come back and do it all by hand, and it'll make the neighborhood look a little tackier," said one worker. The project runs through August, but Bradford says it could wrap up much sooner if everyone follows the rules. "I'd encourage everyone to absolutely pay attention. Move their car, don't get a big bill and have to get your car out of towing. Just take care of that ahead of time and don't have your neighbors be mad at you," Bradford said. You can go to the county's website for the full schedule. The day after your slurry is scheduled, you can drive on the street but can't park because a street cleaner will be coming by to sweep up the loose gravel. We reached out to CHP about the towing process but didn't hear back.

Trump is expected to sign a measure blocking California's nation-leading vehicle emissions rules
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to sign a measure Thursday that blocks California's first-in-the-nation rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, a White House official told The Associated Press. The resolution Trump plans to sign, which Congress approved last month, aims to quash the country's most aggressive attempt to phase out gas-powered cars. He also plans to approve measures to overturn state policies curbing tailpipe emissions in certain vehicles and smog-forming nitrogen oxide pollution from trucks. The timing of the signing was confirmed Wednesday by a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to share plans not yet public. The development comes as the Republican president is mired in a clash with California's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, over Trump's move to deploy troops to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests. It's the latest in an ongoing battle between the Trump administration and heavily Democratic California over everything from tariffs to the rights of LGBTQ+ youth and funding for electric vehicle chargers. According to the official, Trump is expected to sign resolutions that block California's rule phasing out gas-powered cars and ending the sale of new ones by 2035. He will also kill rules that phase out the sale of medium- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles and cut tailpipe emissions from trucks. The president is scheduled to sign the measures and make remarks during an event at the White House on Thursday morning. Newsom, who is considered a likely 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, and California officials contend that what the federal government is doing is illegal and said the state plans to sue. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin are expected to attend, along with members of Congress and representatives from the energy, trucking and gas station industries. California, which has some of the nation's worst air pollution, has been able to seek waivers for decades from the EPA allowing it to adopt stricter emissions standards than the federal government. In his first term, Trump revoked California's ability to enforce its standards, but President Joe Biden reinstated it in 2022. Trump has not yet sought to revoke it again. Republicans have long criticized those waivers and earlier this year opted to use the Congressional Review Act, a law aimed at improving congressional oversight of actions by federal agencies, to try to block the rules. That's despite a finding from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, that California's standards cannot legally be blocked using the Congressional Review Act. The Senate parliamentarian agreed with that finding. California, which makes up roughly 11% of the U.S. car market, has significant power to sway trends in the auto industry. About a dozen states signed on to adopt California's rule phasing out the sale of new gas-powered cars. The National Automobile Dealers Association supported the federal government's move to block California's ban on gas-powered cars, saying Congress should decide on such a national issue, not the state. The American Trucking Associations said the rules were not feasible and celebrated Congress' move to block them. Chris Spear, the CEO of the American Trucking Associations, said in a statement Wednesday: 'This is not the United States of California.' ___ Austin reported from Sacramento, Calif.
