Sorry if this has been posted before, I couldn't see a thread about it.

[The Shift]

Not heard that before but that would be good… any combination o f these guys on stage together would be good. The more the merrier. For us any way!

[bgas]

I went to the website they mentioned at that site and all that they had for April 10th was a Beach Boys date( http://upac.org/event_info.php?id=706&venue=upac  ) 

SO, my bet is: Al won't be there

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

"The Beach Boys have often been called America's first rock band"

Huh? Really??

[Mendota Heights]

They will be playing here:







A ticket is 130 dollars.

[tpesky]

Al better call his lawyer on this one!

[Sheriff John Stone]

Maybe Al put it out.

[The Shift]

What a pit!!!!

[the professor]

It has begun. . .  .the de-melandification of the BB universe.  Everyone is longing to be a BB and play as the unified BB, and you will soon be seeing more defections from the Brian compound where Melinda imprisons the band's leader. Eventually Al and Dave will be part of the BB, and Brian will be the odd man out. He too, however, will tunnel his way out of Melinda hell and rejoin the band for a new, non JT album, which we will all love. Brian and Mike will write songs together.

The Beck album will come and go quietly with polite but guarded critical approval (except by the deluded Brainistas who feign ecstasy at anything he creates). Beck will be mute on the experience, as a polite Englishman should, and the album will disappear into history.


Such are the Professor's predictions. . . .

I think the term Melinda is really tasteless, and I think any real Beach Boys and/or Brian Wilson fan would know that regardless of her business acumen (or lack thereof), Brian's wife loves him and cares very deeply for him, and seems to have made his life much better in the past 20 years. So before pathetically uttering that horrendous name "Melinda" again, you might want to look at what that animal Eugene Landy did to Brian Wilson and then compare it to what Melinda Wilson has done for Brian.

And read up on the thread titled Melinda part of Landy's staff?!?, I'd like to think it might give you a bit of background on the disgusting, hateful way you refer to Brian's wife.

The Beck album will come and go quietly with polite but guarded critical approval (except by the deluded Brainistas who feign ecstasy at anything he creates). Beck will be mute on the experience, as a polite Englishman should, and the album will disappear into history.

Funny that you have the gall to mock those who support the man who is one of the greatest living musical artists (and also composed, with the hated Joe Thomas, some of the music on TWGMTR that you have continuously sh*t your pants over), but then also tout absolute garbage like David Marks' boring song "Stowaway". You, professor, are either a troll of the highest order or you have no intellectual consistency.

SCORCH!!!

The Woodstock agrees with your comments towards the professor.

[tpesky]

Maybe Al put it out.

Ummm that  makes zero sense?

In the words of Tony Montana, "I was kidding, I was only kidding...."

 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

That does bring up an interesting scenario...what if this ended up as a Beach Boys reunion sans Brian? Who would be the villain then?

All hypothetically speaking, but it is interesting.

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

Wouldn't it be nice... but I'm guessing the Times just grabbed a stock photo, ID'ed the Beach Boys in it and ran with it. 

[SMiLE Brian]

The professor needs to get a grip.

[bgas]

The professor needs to get a grip.

perhaps, perhaps; but consider he possibly has himeself in his own grip, and it's just not working....

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

You can go blind from that

[bachelorofbullets]

Interesting.  Seems to be a lot of weird stuff going on right now.  Scott Totten/John Cowsil were seen recording with the Fendertones, and now this.

Already happened, at the Ellas. Spot the missing Beach Boy. Could be a signpost down The Road Less Taken...

[KittyKat]

I'm assuming that NY Times photo is in error or it would be a big deal by now. Al and Dave are playing at something called Mayfest with Dean Torrence, down in South Carolina. Maybe that will be their future. I can't see them sticking with Brian in the long run, for various reasons, though I could be wrong.

[Pretty Funky]

Doubt if the Fendertones appearance was weird. More likely they are just fans of their remakes just like many here. Perhaps they were in town and had a chance to meet up.

[the professor]

The Professor is a rhetorician and states things hyberbolically at times to begin discussions of what may unfold. "Melinda" and the related trope "de-Melandification" are not hateful but rather seek to locate the source of Brian's alienation in series of over-protective and self-glorifying care-taking forces.

Control can come with drugs and with love as well; one can argue that Landy saved Brian's life too. 

I have made my point with these provocative terms, and we will see how history unfolds.

I very much appreciate the words of the Sweetdude; he and I both love the BB and hope for the best.

And yes, I spent my Spring Break--at least one special day of it--with TWGMTR, which I cherish, played on repeat all over LA and finally, at sunset, upon the shore at Redondo, as the sounds of the sea and the voices of the BB became, as they have always been, and will always be, one.
