It’ll be ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ for Beach Boys fans this summer when the legendary Beach Boy and music icon Brian Wilson returns to Denmark to perform at the Odeon in Odense.

Wilson will perform one of the most celebrated albums in history, ‘Pet Sounds’, as well as a number of other classic Beach Boys favourites as part of his Pet Sounds Tour on Thursday June 29.

With classic tunes like ‘God Only Knows’, ‘Sloop John B’ and ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’, ‘Pet Sounds’ is still considered one of the best albums of all time, some 41 years after it came out in 1966.

The album inspired the Beatles to make their own iconic record ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band’ in 1967.

Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10:00 at ticketmaster.dk for 450-850 kroner. Wilson performed the Pet Sounds gig in Randers last year and tickets sold out quickly.

Book a room with Zimmer
Last December, Ennio Morricone brought his legendary works to Copenhagen, and now Hans Zimmer, one of Hollywood’s all-time top film composers is following suit with a performance at Forum on May 22.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
