Erm
We have a great new album, headed for the top ten apparently. One or two (or more?) albums in the can. And we are 27 dates into the tour.
Doesn't seem like a very fragile reunion.

I think the thing about "Marcella" like said above, was more about Mike saying "What? You want us to do it tommorow???" not that he didn't want to do it. Mike & Bruce have done some pretty obscure stuff in their shows, and are in this one as well, so I don't think he's completely against it.

"I think I'm gonna stay a while..." in the context, it has unlimited meaning...
And very similar to the line "I'm thinking maybe I'll just stay" in Summer's Gone.
Amazing!

I don't get Mike's gesture of putting the gun to his head after hearing the end suite, nor do I get his comments about clouds.
Is he saying it was depressing and it's suicide music???
I think that the clouds comment refers to the fact that had he written the lyrics, there would be a touch of hope or positivity to those songs.
Summer's On! (lyrics by M. Love)
Summer's On!
Summer's here to stay
Here today
Just like yesterday
Old friends have gone
They've gone to surf some bitchin' waves
Our dreams hold on
You know we still have more to say
That's brilliant. I'd love to see a "Mike Love Reimagines Your Favorite Songs" type of thread.

Pacific Coast Highway
Wilson / Love / Thomas
Sometimes I realize
My days are getting cool
Sometimes I realize
It's time to get back to school
And I wanna catch waves
Sun is rising
And I've got to grab my board
My life
Is full of fun, fun, fun
My life
Is in the warmth of sun
Driving down Pacific Coast
Out on highway one
The rising sun

Yes, and of course, it is.
I don't find it shoot myself in the head depressing (the part you cut out). Even then, I think it's more reflective/bittersweet/melancholy than depressing. I don't really hear any despair minus some of Pacific Coast Highway.

Pacific Coast Highway
(Wilson / Waits / Brennan / Thomas)
Sometimes I realize
It's fifty men on a dead man's chest
Sometimes I realize
It's Madeline wearing the vest
Of old Joe, a working man out by the docks
And I want to drink rum
Sun is sinking
Into the sea where Maria my love
Was lost and never to return
Driving down the coast, my Caddy
Full of demons and vinegar
The sun burning like a million devils
Awooh! (indecipherable scream)

Why don't you run away and catch some rays with me?
On this summer's day, I wanna go down to Hawaii.
Why don't we play Summer In Paradise anymore?
There's a spot along the way, where maybe we can stay.
Meditate on the floor near my front door.

On Santa Monica city pier
We watch the surfers who gather here
The super surfers who've found their way
And now we're all here to stay
And it's a surfer's world
There's nothing to it
Surfer's world
I'm blastin' through it
Surfer's world
Thinking waves over
It's a surfer's world after all
Wonderful surfin' lives we live
And catch a glimpse of that setting sun
I can't imagine how life would be
If you did not surf with me
And it's a surfer's world
There's nothing to it
Surfer's world
I'm blastin' through it
Surfer's world
Thinking waves over
It's a surfer's world after all
Sunday morning
Skies so blue
yo tambien surf
Means I surf too
You can drive your car
To the beach somewhere
And hit the surf anywhere
It doesn't matter that much to me
'Cause we're pretty good surfers, see
And it's a surfer's world
There's nothing to it
Surfer's world
I'm blastin' through it
Surfer's world
Thinking waves over
It's a surfer's world after all

Holy crap, Mike really didn't do himself any favors in this article did he
The article is candid as hell, but there's a tenderness and forgiveness to all this even in some of the rougher parts. The depiction of the characters are strong, compelling. I guess Mike's naysayers will confirm their view, as will his fans.

I still find that "I think I'll stay" line to Carl amazing.
Yes, he'll stay because he has a few more things to do, like perform Pet Sounds live, finish Smile, create TLOS, do the Gershwin album, and write and perform the best BBs album in years.

Of course only because the reunion has gone so well so far. Imagine this article woul've come out and the band hadn't played "Marcella" or "Add some music" (yet).

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Yup, and on a personal level, raise children, live life, be healthy. I think the brilliance of it is that while we all struggle with how to handle life and death, when pressed Brian found it really simple, as simple as a choice to stay or go.

The opening shot of them having lunch will undoubtably cause Myke fans a certain degree of distress. Kudos to RS for positioning the fold of their magazine to slice neatly through Myke's face.

In that case, Mike bashers would be all over him and I guess I would be defending him.
Wait. That's what's happening right now.

If you stop and think about who's running that place and what kind of person it is, this is not surprising.

Look, they've been ignored by RS forever.
To have this sort of coverage is good in itself. And it's the piece of written journalism on the reunion so far.

That was really something to read. ["I think I'll stay."]
Sort of a Robert Frost "miles to go before I sleep" concept.
Loved the NY diner photo (great diners in NY and NJ!) so coolly ingrained in the really lively culture...
It is a real diss to the fans, not to have them on the cover.
A missed opportunity for Rolling Stone.
