"I Was Made to Love Her" on Wild Honey and Carol Kaye's claims
Sam_BFC:
And the upper harmonics of the bass parts may very well remain present anyway :afro

If Beach Boys fans haven't learned by this point to separate gorgeous work from the flawed humans who created it, they're the ones living in a fantasy world.

It wouldn't be a problem if everyone would know that Kaye is living in a fantasy world and shouldn't always be taken too seriously. But unfortionately there are writers and journalists who don't do their homework and write her claims down as if they are the facts, so that history gets distorted and some people don't get the credit they deserve.
THIS is EXACTLY how you nail a point on a message board. Nice to see someone understands without clouding it with..."yeah but"...and..."I can see both sides"...etc... She is trusted by many as an expert on history, and she's not interested in knowing the truth. Its a really damaging combination.

My problem with that philosophy is that I had actual interaction with Carol in the real world. She played some mean bass but it's no excuse to be mean.

Well said, Jon. I certainly remember how exhaustively you researched "The Real Beach Boy", and also remember the anguish on your face when some new facts would arise after it was published. All the more reason why we're all looking forward to a new, expanded edition!
