Is A New Beach Boys Album On The Way?

[KittyKat]

Did Jeff, Al, and Dave Marks hurt Brian's feelings by showing up at Mike's event? Not to mention Brian's  daughters.

That aside, it was an evening for charity, the Society for Singers. Which was co-founded by the widow of someone Brian has said he admires, Henry Mancini. The charity helps out hard on their luck singers, ones not as lucky as Mike Love. As it is, the event was sort of honoring Brian himself, given the fact that Mike mostly sings Brian's compositions.

I do understand why Brian would not want to attend a public event, though. He doesn't do well at non-performance public events of any kind, including ones that honor himself.  There was a music blogger who had to sit across from Brian at a Grammy dinner and Brian would not talk to him all night, even though it was his job to keep Brian entertained. He would say something, and Brian wouldn't say a word. Brian had to get up and t give a brief speech and was able to do that, but left the event right afterwards, well before it was over. It's just not Brian's thing, and I think most people get that.

For all anyone on this board knows, Brian may have called Mike and congratulated him on the award, but bowed out of attending because sitting around for a few hours on those hard banquet hall chairs are murder on his bad back.

I'm amazed at how we fantasize that Brian cares about anyone else.

[SMiLE Brian]

Are you even a BBs fan?

[Dancing Bear]

Grow up.

[SMiLE Brian]

Look who is talking, to suggest Brian doesn't care about anybody else is childish and asinine. This is a guy who still misses Carl and Dennis dearly.

[Dancing Bear]

You have your opinion and I have mine. That you feel the urge to insult me is just sad, really.

Turn off your computer, go outside and grow up.

This would obviously have been different from a Grammy dinner as he would have known so many of the attendees, such as Jeff, Al, etc..  I saw that Mike wrote on his Facebook page that he was disappointed Brian didn't come. 

[KittyKat]

Yes, he did know a lot of people there, but it was a large room with many people he didn't know. As it is, wasn't it written that he left his own wedding reception early when he married Melinda? It was a small wedding and he knew everyone there, yet he didn't stay long, saying he was tired. You can call it a product of his illness, you can call it selfishness, but that's how he is. If he had gone and barely talked to people, then left early, people would have been negative about that, too.

Obviously the two of you need to wash before you come on here and post again

I'm not even sure what that means. I'm not sure what my post had to do with you either.

It's the Everything and the Nothing

Of course we speculate. Its what we unwashed do, and I don't mind one dot!

I just believe put downs on those of us who can ONLY speculate is pretty damn rude to be honest. If anyone is unwilling to expand on their reasoning due to some sort of confidentiality, don't even join in the thread to begin with.

I agree completely!

Its in reference to this lee.

Just now out of the cool cool water as a matter of fact!

Now I got it.

You speak as if you know what goes through Brian's mind.

I thought his question was legitimate. You should answer it

[donald]

Mike has been getting a lot of media attention of late.  Do you think he has launched a Mike Love publicity campaign through some celebrity management consultant/s?  Maybe to finally balance out the Brian legend with a little attention and recognition coming his way,   And to draw emphasis to the Mike Love Beach Boys band?

[KittyKat]

Why would he need to do that? . I don't see much Mike publicity outside of the Ella Award thing.

He's trying to generate it all starting here

I could, but I won't. It's not forbidden to ask me this question, but I also have the right to ignore it.

It's just so silly. I'm really embarassed for this Smile Brian dude.

[SMiLE Brian]

Quit backing away through lame insults and answer the question:

Do you like the BBs/BW at all?


I would guess no since you always rant about how horrible the members are.

I'm confused as to why you're so obsessed with SMiLE Brian. He didn't attack you, why do you keep going after him?

[Niko]

Smile Brian is named after one of his least favorite members of the band. Just seeing the name Brian brings to mind awful things like Pet Sounds, which is one Dancing Bear's least favorite albums.

That is my guess.

What is sad is this thread persisted on the top for this long...

Whoops just bumped it again, dam.
