Mike and Bruce Superbowl 1998

I've seen pictures of the Beach Boys with Brian doing Superbowl pregame in 1987.  Anybody know anything about that?

 I believe they appeared on a TV special the night before the Super Bowl.  It was called something like "Super Night At The Super Bowl".  Patrick Duffy hosted the show.  The Beach Boys performed "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena".

I think that's the segment where Ruth Buzzy is wailing on Mike Love with her purse! And Brian never looked better. White pants, Hawaiian shirt, fender bass....

I have the footage on tape and buried in a box somewhere. One of the sportscasters did refer to the act onstage as the Beach Boys, so he was decidedly in error.

You're right!  She drove up to the stage towards the end of the song and asked Mike "Who's Granny?".  He replied "You are" and she started beating him with her purse.  I'd forgoten about this clip.

This made me wonder if there was a rider in Mike's contract that specified where Ruth Buzzi could and couldn't hit him with the purse, making sure none of the hits came close to his head, especially if he was wearing his customary baseball cap for the show. Either that, or the rider called for extra-strength adhesive tape to make sure the cap didn't fall off if Buzzi's shots were aimed too high...

Ruth Buzzi?  That's so random.
