Keep in mind that for a more permanent reunion, there may be some legal and/or contractual details to be sorted out...

Isn't it sad that this cool, joyful reunion tour and album ends with this terrible discussions? The boys had a great time touring and certainly healing some wounds and now they are faced with this crap. Do people really think Mike would wanna do another Beach Boys tour when he gets slagged off even for that?

The deification of Mike Love continues.....
This article reeks of ghost writing,
Mike would never have time to write something like this while touring all the time
.
During the 10-hour flight across Atlantic:
1. Read recent 'sacking' articles...
2. Pitch a small fit...
3. Sit down with your publicist and draft a response...
4. Approve publicists polished version of what you dictated to him.
Admit it, you're a closet Blooie, aren't you ?
That is ghostwriting. I ain't no bloo, I'm not a suck up to Mike Love and call history as it went. Mike has reinvented history the last few years. Acting like he is Brian's number one collaborator when Brian had Gary Usher, Roger Christian, Bob Norburg, Tony Asher, and Van Dyke Parks to write songs.
The mere fact that Myke Luhv can't write decent lyrics is proof positive that he did not write this article-guarantee he scratched a few lines down, gave it to his servant and told him to write something up. By the way. the only Blooey here is the AGDster-he posts over there all the time and he ain't too well liked either.

I'm a member of the Mike Love fan club. You get a membership card, and, up until a year or two ago, they would send out a newletter every few months with tour dates and Mike Love news items and the like. But the internet sort of made the newsletter worthless, the information would be months out of date and therefore "old news" by the time it arrived in the mail.
And all that for 14,50 $ ?

Without being the same room, no one can definitively state whether Mike wrote all of his essay or whether it was composed for him. I'd tend to guess that he wrote a rough draft, had a publicist look it over and tweak it, and Mike signed off on it. Either way, it's diplomatic and a rather clear summary.
Having said that, the real unanswered question is why the quotes of Brian and Al prior to the London shows? Who knows. That to me is the real riddle.
This band has long operated as Beach Boys Inc. (or Brother Recordings Inc.) and any career decision has to be filtered through a series of lawyered gatekeepers. Unfortunate. I get the feeling that Mike is not averse to future recording/touring but saying something definite would back everyone into a corner prior to the perimeters being worked out. The sooner they can commit to ONE more album and ONE more 20-30 date summer tour, the better we'll all feel. And if they realize (by the end of 2012) that that isn't gonna happen, then say it - so we can get on with our lives (and Brian can record a rawk and roll rekid with his band).

Not very observant, are we ? I deleted my Bloo profile when the "sacking" nonsense blew up and when even for the Bloo, the posts there were ridiculous. As for not being well liked 'over there', well, one, don't care and two, I'm liked well enough in the right quarters.

Fairly thin skinned aren't we there? It's a friggin' message board just like it is here. You deleted yourself because you don't agree with others opinions?? Really?? Yeah, you suck up to Myke and Bruce just enough to get free tix to their bore-as* oldies show.

I'd love to have a regular "Mike Love Sets The Record Straight" podcast or series after school specials. He could scare people straight and stuff.
You know, really "rap" with the kids. Maybe even turn a chair around and squat over it the wrong way to show how with it he was. Confront teenagers with the truth about his naming Pet Sounds.

Beach Boys' Mike Love explains that he didn't fire Brian Wilson, still sucks
By Sean O'Neal October 5, 2012
Sensing that the news of founding members Brian Wilson and Al Jardine being dumped in favor of returning Beach Boys to its more recently established, more easily dominated by Mike Love lineup had inspired more Mike Love hate than usual, Mike Love put on his explainer cap—fitting it over his nested stack of other caps—and addressed the controversy in a typically longwinded letter to the L.A. Times. Not surprisingly, Love insists he did nothing wrong by breaking off from Wilson and Jardine again, saying that the decision was made only because "it is not feasible, both logistically and economically" for the reunited original Beach Boys lineup to play many of the smaller-market dates that Love insists are "vitally important" for keeping the Beach Boys' name alive by allowing Mike Love to play under it and collect all of its associated money and attention for himself. Also, he said a lot of stuff like this:
I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson. We are partners. He’s my cousin by birth and my brother in music. We grew up together. We sang Everly Brothers’ songs together at Aunt Audrey’s piano. We played football together. We formed a band together. We wrote songs together that have been woven into the fabric of this nation. Our songs are in the DNA of America. Our imagery of the coast, surfing, cars and teenage freedom helped make our country the envy of the world.
Ugh, stop it. Anyway, the rest of the letter goes on and on like that and is just as awful. Keep it under your hats, Mike Love.

This was a fantastic read. Good for Mike for writing that. It needed to be said. It would've been a little easier to swallow if the first press release announcing the end of the reunion was delivered in this same tone---then we wouldn't have had such a firestorm of crap rain on him. But anyway, hopefully the storms have passed and we can move on.
Great pic of the Loves:
As we learned from the Howard Stern interview, Mike is an ass man..
Looking at that he must be a very happy man
Yes, I can attest to that.
Mike is NEVER happy enough so the Mike and Bruce show goes on.....

For the people who just plain dislike Mike Love, there is nothing he could ever say or do that will ever change their view. I think for most reasonable people, they will take it in the spirit it was given. Myself, I don't expect to hear anything of any consequence until after the new year.
