To be fair, he plays in Minnesota. The Wolves have not tried to put together a coherent baskebtall team in ages.

He's wanted to be traded for a year or so now.

Hey now, we've tried. We've just been led mostly be incompetent people, on top of having the misfortune of being in an apparently less-than-desirable free agent market due to the climate. (I, for one, will go to bat for Minneapolis any day. Great, great city, even if we get a lot of snow and cold winters.)

You guys are all forgetting Steve Love. He was no present from heaven either, and responsible for Blondie's demise. Stan (with Rocky) went overboard, but Steve was their Manager and conducted business the way Mike wanted. Mike and the family are fair game here. To a point, but then it gets old quick.

From what I've heard in the past, I'd tend to doubt that: not much love lost between Mike & Steve. You only have to read the Gaines book to grasp that.

Going with the Gaines book; I see it thrown out, time and again,that it's mostly lies; then, as in this case, to read it for corroboration of some fact(s).
So when it comes down to it , is there some way to know what really is or isn't a load of crap on those pages?

The business and financial details, of both the band and individual members, are extremely accurate. Given the source, this is hardly surprising.

For what it is worth, Nick Grillo told me that everything said about him in Gaines book was accurate.

Neither, hold out for a Gundars Vetra, a Gerald Glass, or maybe a Ricky Davis.

"The Captain". Don't recognize the name. With 5,000 plus posts under his belt, either he was a poster here years ago and just came back or he just changed his alias. Are you really "The Professor" or someone else in disguise?

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Considering my anti-professor post in the General Music forum and lack of referring to myself in the third person, I'm definitely not him. I'm just boring old Luther.

Obviously by "boring old" I mean exciting, sexy, and irresistible.

Which if it wasn't so despicable would be funny, because Blondie is one of the lightest-skinned non-white South Africans I've ever seen.

What's the funny part again?

But does Steve being a jerk make Mike a jerk? Is there some evidence of racism from Mike?

"Brian Wilson good, Mike Love bad". The likes of Gregg and Smile Brian chant this mantra several times a day.....

But its true.... Grin

The truth of Mike's betrayal of his clan can be hard for many to accept. So they choose not to, keeping Mike as a member of their kin, rather than accepting what he became when he made Summer in Paradise.
