Al Jardine says there's a BAD conflict w/Mike. Aka: The welcome back AGD thread

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

...reminds me of Alan's recent "explosive" interview in that once you read what was actually said, a huge damp squib.

"He can't keep a lid on his Jar(dine): Fireworks fly as former Beach Boy Al Jardine shakes the very core the entertainment industry, and indeed the universe, with explosive new information, leaving nothing but piles of desecrated rubble in the aftermath of his atom bomb. Details on page 2."

Have the band *ever* tried to actually bill themselves *collectively* as “The Original Beach Boys?” Not that I can remember. The C50 band didn’t even use this verbiage, Mike and Bruce don’t try to use it, nor did anybody in the “BAD” situation including Al ever say they wanted to collectively bill any grouping as “THE Original Beach Boys.”

At C50 Foskett annouced them individually as "Welcome original Beach Boy David Marks..." and so on. I think they are not trying to bill themselves as "The Original Beach Boys" as opposed to the fake ones, rather that each one of the three actually IS an original Beach Boy.

I think I'm going to form a group called "The Fake Beach Boys". I'll play bass. All I need is a short guitarist, a chubby one, a balding singer and a sexy drummer. Any volunteers?

I wouldn't fit any of those roles, but perhaps I could rig up another fake mixing board for the domineering father character to play with in the studio.   

[Summer_Days]

I'm not short, chubby, balding or sexy (according to some ladies anyway) but I wanna be in the band. Tell you what, I'll be The Lost Fake Beach Boy.

Anyone remember the mid-80's "New Coke" controversy? By the time Coca-Cola tried to repair all the damage they had caused their brand identity by changing the product, they created a situation where "Coca Cola" became "New Coke", but consumers could also buy "Classic Coke", which somehow never tasted the same as the old original Coca Cola in the green bottles. So if you wanted to buy a Coke, would you buy New Coke or Classic Coke? Then New Coke disappeared, as did Classic Coke, and you could buy Coca Cola again. But could you really feel confident that what you were buying was the real Coca Cola?

Confused?  

The closest thing to buying the old/original/classic Coke now can be found as its being bottled in Mexico, made with pure cane sugar or something and sold for over a dollar per bottle in certain grocery stores.

So maybe the solution to all this Beach Boys confusion might somehow be found in Mexico, who knows.

Do you know why there's 4-colored hazardous materials signs on the side of the tanker trucks used to carry the raw material (acidic acid) of Coke to the manufacturing plant? Because it's so caustic that it will eat asphalt. It's also used to clean the rust and corrosion off of chrome bumpers. Imagine what it does to your teeth!

But I still love it!

[pixletwin]

The only time I ever drink Coke is on Christmas Eve... and yes, it's the Mexican glass bottled variety. Otherwise, no thanks.

[guitarfool2002]

On a related note I think some of Mike's stage wear from the 70's was radioactive.

I am a 6'3, 230 llb red head with a receding hair line. I usually sport a beard as well. I sing well, but don't play instruments. I am sure I could manage a tamborine or slide theremin. Only problem is, my voice is more like a young Dennis then Mike.

I can clap my hands incessantly and adjust my mic stand constantly do I qualify?

Things go better with coke.

It didn't for Brian Wilson though.

Hey! I wanna be in the band. I'm a pretty good singer, and I think I wear sequins at least as well as Mike does. If we're the Fake Beach Boys, would it matter if one of the Boys is actually a girl?

[mikeddonn]

Did Mike not have a problem with Coke (sponsoring the Monterrey Pop Festival)?  Or maybe Pepsi.  Now what is the link between Coke and this thread?  Well it is after all called the "Real Thing" a bit like the real Beach Boys!  .

I can offer you a balding drummer. 



And while I realize I'm a little late:  WELCOME BACK, ANDREW!!!!

In the green glass bottle! Yeah, baby! The pause that refreshes!

But, there is a special Kosher batch with real sugar for Passover, no high fructose corn syrup!

Not from Mexico.

Delish!

On a related note I think some of Mike's stage wear from the 70's was radioactive. 

If those trousers were any higher they'd be cutting off Mike's air supply.

Have you tried putting a peg on your nose?

I guess in some photos I look like Mike.

[Pretty Funky]

Oh I'm so sorry. We never knew!

[Micha]

Why, I'd never have thought my remark would cause so much response!

I'm not short, chubby, balding or sexy (according to some ladies anyway) but I wanna be in the band. Tell you what, I'll be The Lost Fake Beach Boy.

All right, you're Fake Dave.

While I'm not of Brian's caliber of course, my falsetto deos sound better when I sing it out of the side of my mouth, so I'm Fake Brian. Foskett should try that too.

I can clap my hands incessantly and adjust my mic stand constantly do I qualify? 

Well, do you wear shorts? If not, out you go!

Welcome Fake Marilyn! (Don't forget to bring your sister! )


And... welcome back Fake Murry!

[Loaf]

USA Coca Cola uses high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which means that Coke tastes different. I don't like the 'sweet' flavour of HFCS, and it leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. High fructose corn syrup can also lead to health problems.

Coca Cola in Mexico and elsewhere, such as the UK, just use sugar, good ol' glucose, for the sweetener.

So we have a situation where one of the most American symbols of all time (in terms of leisure/pleasure, choice, commerce, capitalism, global branding) is actually inferior in its homeland because HFCS is cheaper.

Do you remember when you were young and 'processed added sugar' was the bad guy? Well, now it's the lesser of two evils compared to HFCS.

So ....how goes the bad vs mike conflict over use of the brand name....and I'm not talking about soda pop.
