If twitter was around in the 1970s, Dennis would be tweeting constantly. Brian's twitter feed in 1974-1976 would be hard to take as he tweets his decline.

The entire band was using iPhone to communicate during the tour, including the old guy principals. Al Jardine even said so and said he had a hard time getting the hang of it but was trying. I really don't understand why some people insist that Mike would never post on Facebook or knows how to use a computer, even. It's not that hard to believe or that controversial. But whatever. I wonder what it would pay to post things about Dorito commercials during the Super Bowl and pretend you're Mike Love. If it wasn't Mike himself, they deserved a bonus for that.

I like to think Mike posts on facebook....he got his iPhone out on "In My Room" last year on C50...and I heckled him via facebook when he was doing the roundabout dedication a few months back, yielding a response! |

Whoever posts on these social media pages does a good job. The new pictures are a great reason to follow/befriend them and so what if it's not actually them. They are megastars! I just like seeing updates, photos, dedications etc.

The only reason i questioned whether Mike was now using a personal computer, like a desk-top version, not an iPhone, is because I have read several times over the last several years, attributed to him if not a direct quote, that he never has/had and wasn't interested in doing so. I would have no reason or ability to comment on it otherwise. And no, I can't cite a specific source. |

I have to bring back this topic. Been following Mike on FB and find it fascinating. The vignettes on little facts of life, like Thanksgiving or his daughter's Prom, I find very moving. Direct, concise, emotional and effective. The guy has a real talent for it, and I doubt these posts are written by a PR. Makes me think that he could come up with a really well-written book. And there must be one or two classic new lyrics if the desirable working conditions were given.

I agree. Just read his stream-of-consciousness abstract on Ambha's prom and personal future. Very touching and indeed - the lyrical talent is still there: direct, relatable and on the right side of sentimentalism. I second the notion that he should write a book someday. |

I dunno... put me in the group that thinks at least *some* of the posts are really Mike. Some are obviously PR, but a few recent entries lead me to think maybe Mike posts occasionally.
Then, its working. at least on some.  |

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Think it's safe to say that Mike posts more than the rest of the band put together (that is, he actually writes his own posts). Most of them are really him.

I think it's safe to say that he posts everything he signs ("Peace n Love - ML") while all the old pictures and setlists are from his publicist or whomever would be doing that sort of thing.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman. |

I imagine Mike has become tech savvy and social media proficient for the same reason a lot of us have: it is the only way to contact and hear back from your kids in a timely fashion.
