Today Is...Dennis Wilson Drowns

Probably the most Summery of bands was the Beach Boys, just the opening bars of 'All Summer Long' or 'Do It Again' sends my mind racing back to those hot summer nights and as they are so closely associated with being a Summertime group that's probably why the bands drummer, Dennis Wilson, was Christmasing in Marina Bay in California, the same place where only three years earlier he had thrown his wifes belongings into the sea.     
For a band who made a career out of singing about how rad and cool Surfing was, out of the five of them he was the only one who knew the correct end of a surfboard and could actually surf and it was his idea that surfing should be the band he created with his brother's and cousin's thing and call it surfin' to be a bit more cool.
Through out the 60's they ruled the surfing, cars, romance and the Californian beach lifestyle and narrowly avoiding all being horribly murdered by Charles Mason and his band of loonies so by the 80s they were safely entrenched in music history and with the the surf and car music dipped into the sunset, they were kicking back and relaxing which is how Wilson found himself at the same Bay where his ex-wife's things were now a fishes playthings.
Feeling remorseful when he found himself sat looking out at the bay today in 1983 and after an afternoon of knocking back tequila, he decided to hire a boat and to see if i could dive in and salvage them.
Turns out drinking lots of alcohol and swimming goes together about as well as drinking lots of alcohol and swimming and he drowned.
