C'mon guys, this is crying out for a caption contest.
Mike: "So I said to Neil, 'what you need is a punchier catchline, y'know - one small step for dudes, one cool step for mankind'."
Myke-"So Neil, have you seen my group, The Beach Boys, play? You know, I wrote most of the songs."

Yesterday, Mike Love "unleashed the love" to pleased bandmates and press at the California Hall of Fame, remarking to Buzz Aldrin, "How's this for a rocket?"

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Mike: "For your space song to be a hit, Buzz – catchy name by the way – you need something along the lines of:
"'Well, the Martian girls are green but their planet's really lacking air,
"And Venusian girls, with the way they jest, they rib me 'bout my lack of hair.
"I've flown all round this great big world then I landed on the moo-hoo-hooon
"But my cousin Brian, when he just don't show, that says he still thinks I'm a goon…"

Because of people on this site, David Marks got to meet Buzz Aldrin. Unless they've met before. Pretty cool. Too bad Brian wasn't there. TOO BAD.

The California Hall of Fame only wanted to induct the original, founding members of the band. Even tho he's not a founder, Bruce should have been inducted -- he's a Californian too.

Seriously, Brian's people need to wake up and realise that this isn't making him look at all good.
Yeah, the only thing Brian needs to do is to continue to stay away from the fray-far drom the maddening crowd.
It's a once in a career event. I will be me more than just disappointed if he does not participate with the others. The original and long time members of this band need to show some spirit and create some good will. Can't they just put down their surfboards, spouses and lawyers and just cooperate? For a few months? Surely, Vocal Group harmony is needed here.

Why did that ceremony end with a performance by a Blues Brothers tribute band? That doesn't make any damn sense.
Also, David Marks has it pretty sweet. Think about it. He joins the band, sticks around long enough to be remembered, leaves, and now forty years later he gets all sorts of accolades for his five seconds in the group.

YEAH...pretty sweet. He records all those hit songs, and plays on those hit albums, and then gets screwed out of millions of dollars by Murry and Capitol. Boy does he have it made!!

Bingo. "Still cruisin'" is not a phrase that applies to him.

I think the old dude is right in this case, actually. Brian's legacy is secure. He hasn't been absent from BB business or anything -- he did most of TSS promotion, after all. I think the chances of his non appearance in "reunion" activities making him look bad are very small. Enhancing his legacy as the aloof genius staying at home, yes. Making the other guys look bad, possibly! Remember, this is Mr. Passive Agressive we're talking about here.
No, Brian and his so-called people were being asses in this case. He is a Californian and should be proud of the honor. If those other famous folks could show up to collect (including other famous entertainers and an astronaut), then he should have been, too.

Doesn't matter if they were or weren't being asses. I was responding to AGD's dubious assertion:
Quote
Seriously, Brian's people need to wake up and realise that this isn't making him look at all good.
I don't think that -- outside a couple of dozen people on this very message board -- Brian skipping an awards banquet will affect his image in the minds of the music public or the general pop music fan
in the slightest.
What's more, it's likely that Brian's nonappearance at these events will add to his legacy, as the fact that the "founding genius" refuses to attend will deprive them of legitimacy and add to the reclusive burnout myth. No one (outside of BB fans) cares about Dave Marks or Al Jardine or Bruce Johnston. Precious few cared about Carl, and Dennis is dead. Mike is the voice on the biggest hits, and Brian is the writer and producer behind those hits. If Brian isn't there, the band isn't reunited.
Is there anyone now who wonders how he actually feels about his old band?

The thing is, Brian's legacy with The Beach Boys should be just has important to him as is his own personal legacy. Much of Brian's legacy, personal or group was during his time as a Beach Boy. Nothing Brian has done on his own will ever reach what was accomplished with The Beach Boys. To me, it would be in his own best interest to embrace The Beach Boys now, while interest is hot. Solidifying all his bases can do nothing but enhance his standing further in the music world.

OSD is right. Brian has neither anything to gain nor lose by not appearing at such things, therefore why not just stay home?
