There's a Beach Boys song named " Forever. " It was
on the band's 1970 album Sunflower and, like a lot
of Beach Boys songs, it's effervescent-fizzy, fun,
and lots of " do-do-do " s. It also happens to be a song
that appeared three times on the sitcom Full House,
covered by the fictitious band Jesse and the Rippers.
One time, it was played during Uncle Jesse's wedding
in 1991. He sang:
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever
Uncle Jesse, of course, was played by John
Stamos. And, right this moment, Stamos is wearing
a very luxe version of a Hawaiian shirt on an equally
luxe tour bus, vrooming across California with the
Beach Boys. Later tonight, he'll sing " Forever, " this
time as a member of the band.
Stamos first heard the legendary band when he
was 14. " I'm still the biggest fan, " he says with a smile
as he runs his fingers through his hair-hair that's
still thick as a lion's mane. He can't believe he's on
tour with the band. " It still doesn't make sense that I
watched the band for the longest time and now I get
to play with them. "
The Beach Boys' music has provided a
soundtrack for Stamos' life, not unlike a lot of other
Californians. " Their music bypasses your brain and
goes straight into your heart, " he says. " 'Wouldn't
It Be Nice,' 'Fun, Fun, Fun,' 'Good Vibrations.' All
positivity, all optimistic. " He likes to watch audiences
after the band stops playing. " They just keep
clapping. They need it so bad. "
Both he and the songs of the Beach Boys have
aged well, Stamos argues, with a laugh. He's not
wrong. The man still looks like Uncle Jesse, the
wildly popular character he played on Full House
from 1987 to 1995. That role defined him to a
certain extent, and also held him back. " I think
I'm finally getting to that place where I'm a decent
actor, " Stamos says. " My brand's getting better now. "
Is this the best John Stamos ever? The married dad
who, at 61, is comfortable in his own skin answers
unequivocally: " Yes. "
The California native grew up in Orange County,
the son of a restaurateur and model. Of his late
parents, he says, " My dad treated everyone-best
customers and busboys-the same. My mom was
kind of like Lucy: fearless, and she was just who she
was, all the time. "
Stamos would eventually bounce from soaps
(General Hospital) to sitcoms (Full House) to
nighttime dramas (ER) to Broadway (Cabaret), and
along the way, to pop culture iconhood-the hair,
the smile, the very fact that his name is noun, verb,
adjective, and hashtag. Stamos is #stamosing these
days. " Life is good, " he declares. Believably.
