Pictures from "Love and Mercy" biopic

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Here's an outtake from the "backstage at SeaWorld" scene

[SMiLE Brian]

This movie needs to happen, ML is the perfect subject for DL to analyze. Hell, David knows him from those TM events.

[Amy B.]

I wonder if there has been any question about whether the movie producers will be able to use Beach Boy recordings. Will Mike Love threaten a lawsuit? Or has he given the thumbs-up to the project?

Mike isn't the only BB who's ever laid a lawsuit, you know.

No, but for some strange reason his name came to mind.

David Lynch no doubt loves Mike Love due to their mutual involvement in TM.  They're on the same wavelength, and David has been instrumental in making TM more popular than ever among the celebrity crowd. David believes in yogic flying and even more. So, he'd be the one doing the Mike Love hagiography, where Mike and Paul McCartney co-write "Back in the USSR" with the Maharishi in the room, and the Beach Boys TM tour was a huge success.

Hey, that tour wasn't a bad idea. And we need to remember, the band had timing and historical circumstance against them from the start. The live stuff from that period is fantastic, as is the Friends album. Yeah, the tour was a disaster but it wasn't necessarily the fault of the idea itself.

Just don't ask david lynch about dune....

David Lynch himself should play Bruce

[Rocky Raccoon]

Imagine David Lynch at a Beach Boys show and Bruce trying to get the crowd to clap and sing along to this.

After seeing that video, I'm starting to suspect that Ontor = David Lynch!

Brian singing with Cusack and Dano.  Pretty cool.  Where was this?

Who's that cute bass player in the back?

It's not Bob Lizik, that's for sure!

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Second from left is supposed to be Al, right?

[RangeRoverA1]

Second from left is supposed to be Al, right?

No, I think it's one of Brian's little sons. Dylan or whatever his name.

You do know I love you, don't you?

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

That guy looks at least 6 inches taller than Al!

Frodo wasn't actually 3 feet tall in LOTR??

2Mr. Newcombe: If what you've said is some hip British slang meaning "I agree with you", then fine. But if it's vice versa="I strongly disagree with you" - well, I wasn't sure anyway when I said that it's one of Brian's children. Maybe it's not. But the point is it can't be Al, no way.

2Letsgoawayforawhile & the other Al mockers: can you, please, stop paying attention to Al's height, commenting on it etc.? Show some respect, he deserves it! After all, height & other appearance details have nothing to do with music at all. Though I'm sure you all know about that.

You weren't serious, surely

[Amazing Larry]

God, I hope not.

[RangeRoverA1]

How's that? Look around, like every 3rd topic has posters teasing Al for his height & even calling him "elf" & such. Sorry, folks, I find it distasteful.

If you're referring to my 1st sentence, I honestly don't know the meaning of that slang in Mr. Newcombe's post. Knowing that English is a very tricky language, one can hardly say for sure what this or that phrase means. So I was just going by logic.

She is serious and don't call her Shirley.

[Rocky Raccoon]

There's a certain irony there.

Is that a dig at Carole Kaye? Seriously, was she not a nice person and a good musician?

Respectively, no, and yes. Outstanding musician, who deserves all the acclaim she gets - for the music she performed. Snag is, she's taken to claiming she was on a lot of hits - notably "Surfin' USA", a slew of Motown singles and "Light My Fire" - that she demonstrably didn't play on.

I don't think she should be berated for a shaky memory.  She's played bass on a ridiculous amount of recordings, it's easy to lose track of what recordings those may be.  I'm sure she's a nice person, just not a particularly reliable one for accurate information.

What don't I get?  She was a session musician, that was her job.  She played on hundreds, maybe thousands of songs.  It wasn't her job to remember exactly which songs those were.  So she knows she played for the Beach Boys, she played on more than a handful of their songs, she might not remember the specifics though so if someone brings up a Beach Boys song, she might say, "yeah, I played on that."  It's just the way memory works sometimes.  I don't think it has to do with her as a person.

No, I meant it literally, in the platonic sense, in as much as one can love another on a message board.
