Mike: "Get Fred Vail on the phone, tell him to call my dancers from the 1995 tour, tell them it's showtime, we're back in business. Have him order five dozen cases of beach balls, plenty of Tiki torches, fake surfboard props, and make sure to scrub the old logo off everything, replace it with my name written in the Pet Sounds font. And call Maharishi's people, let them know so they can send some literature and merch for my concession stands."

Mike's people: "Should we also pull your racing suit from the NASCAR album cover out of storage?"

Mike: "Let's not rush things too much."

This could be preposterous, but it's possible that people who want to see Mike Love's Facebook page might also be interested in seeing Mike love....sorry, Mike Love.

If this appeared somewhere else, it would be worthy of total derision.
On his own Facebook page, not so much.

That's exactly it.  The ad only appears on Mike's FB...it's not on The Beach Boys FB.  It's a dumb design by Mike's people which it seems they didn't think all the way through.  Nothing more.

Thanks... now I see Cowsill back there too.

Cool pic - it's begging for a photoshop but my wife is hollering at me for something... have to check it later.

If this isn't cleared up over the weekend I am going to see "The Beach Boys" this Monday so I will report back with who is there or not.

Did anyone else notice that "Tickets on sale now" is in "Pet Sounds"-style font?

At the moment that is so. This 'advert' doesn't even have phone numbers or anything of that sort so is hardly professional.

I think it's just some self-serving promotion, I doubt it has anything to do with Bruce or anything like that.  It is a little strange though.  Like imagine if Al put on his Facebook page

SEE AL JARDINE PERFORM AT A CITY NEAR YOU!

Exactly!

I'm hoping Bruce has defected. I only hope this so people can stop using "BAD". Then Mike will also defect and they can all tour as BADBM (aka bad bowel movement which perfectly describes what the recent lawsuits and spiteful 1-upness from all parties of the last year or so feel like, to me).

If he had then would Mike really authorize something like this which would advertize the fact?

Really? I'm waiting for the announcement of BAD touring with Adele, Sade and Sting!

I read a few weeks back when we were discussing M&B vs. BAD that Mike Love actually needs Bruce Johnston in his band to continue to tour as "The Beach Boys".  One of the provisos apparently is for Mike Love to make use of the license, there has to be at least two Beach Boys in the act for the act to be billed as such.  So if Bruce Johnston has "defected" or at least left Mike's act, then Mike Love is cooked.  Unless the "two Beach Boys in the act" thing doesn't refer to two original Beach Boys?  I mean can Mike Love and John Stamos or Mike Love and Scott Totten be referred to as "The Beach Boys"?  Inquiring minds want to know!

I think people are jumping the gun a little bit on this but if Bruce Johnston joins BAD, that would be enough for me to consider that act "The Beach Boys" whether they are legally allowed to use the monicker or not.  I'll miss Mike Love's presence in the group but if the guy doesn't want to perform with his old mates, then that is his decision and I'd be willing to look at it from the perspective of the chapter being closed on "The Beach Boys - The Mike Love Years" and that the rest of the inclusive group has moved on or forward without him.

Bruce has not left. There is no indication of that.

[KittyKat]

Why would Bruce ever leave Mike? He loves Mike. All that hand-clapping could not have been in vain.

Or the 9 million Mike bashing comments that flooded out below the picture on Facebook!

[KittyKat]

I suspect Mike could draw fans under his own name. Just not as many as using the name Beach Boys.

[Cyncie]

Bruce must be relieved!
