Giving the license to Mike Love.
Love ya OSD, but you do realize that with this post you're basically saying
The Beach Boys dodged a bullet by giving Mike Love the license
. I don't think that's necessarily what you meant to say! Ha!

I hate to admit this but I think not releasing
Adult Child
was dodging a bullet. Seriously, just listen to Brian croak on "Deep Purple" and then ask yourself if this would have been a good album to release in 1977-78.

Disagree. The ultra-stripped down, vastly different arrangements are really interesting and generally enjoyable. "Surfer Girl", holy sh*t, that's a nice version.
As for potential embarrasing dodged bullets, No Pier Pressure, in any form, being a Beach Boys record.

This could have been embarrassing, but we'll never know. According to the May 21, 1966, issue of Billboard:
Quote
Last October, [Capitol Records] announced its entry into filmdom through the formation of Tower Productions, which would star selected Capitol artists in films. The first project tied the Beach Boys, Capitol's leading American rock 'n roll group, with Steve Broidy, former Allied Artists Pictures president. Two months later the Beach Boys' film fell apart due to script trouble. The project remains shelved.
http://www.billboard.com/magazine-archive
IMDb says Steve Broidy was 60 years old in 1965 and had produced one movie in his career ("Rocket Attack U.S.A." in 1961). He went on to produce three more movies, including Sonny and Cher's "Good Times" in 1967. "Good Times" has a zero positive rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 30% positive rating from the public, although (or because) it was the first feature film directed by William Friedkin ("The French Connection", "The Exorcist").

A Beach Boys movie is something I wish had happened. If they had their own Hard Day's Night, that would have been great!

Jeez when you put it that way, they didn't dodge many bullets , they got hit with most of them.
Most of which they fired at themselves. And if things ever got going well, they found a cannon and jumped in front of it. See, C50.

How about when they were considering changing their name to just "Beach"? All things considered, likely would have had disasterous results.
"Beach" more embarrassing than "the Beach Boys"? Don't think so...
better to be named after a place people love to go to instead of giant bugs like four limeys from liverpool and their contemporaries that were named after moving rocks...

Beach Boys-produced Charles Manson album
This is probably the biggest one.
Some others:
Phil Spector's rejection of "Don't Worry Baby," allowing the boys to record it themselves.
Reprise's rejection of
Holland
, resulting in the removal of "We Got Love" and the addition of "Sail On, Sailor."
The non-release of the Kalinich poetry album.
Also, Bruce's non-membership in the band from 1972-1978. They still got his voice when they needed it, but just try to imagine any of the albums they released in that period with something from
Going Public
on them.

But if The Beach Boys did produce and release a Manson album there's a good chance the Tate/LaBianca murders would never have happened.

Hmm… maybe not the Tate/LaBianca murders themselves but it's difficult to imagine that the Manson family wouldn't have eventually murdered someone given what happened. How would Manson have reacted if he got his album made but it didn't sell and didn't turn into a career?
Of course at this point we're pretty far into "what if" land, but it's difficult to imagine any alternate story with the Manson family ending prettily.

They aren´t funny enough, Brian would be doing some goofy stuff or not show up and can you even imagine how Mike would be in a film given that in 1968 he went completely nuts with his shouting during perfromances, weird antics and jesus dress? Dennis would probably skip it as well.

Not officially releasing the original version of Hey Little Tomboy.
And I love the tune, but recording a full studio version of Lazy Lizzie would not have been a good idea.

The non-release of the Kalinich poetry album.
You might say that 'Sail On Sailor' replacing 'We Got Love' was an improvement, but I don't think it would have been embarrasing.
And totally disagree with the Kalinich record. Probably wouldn't be commercial but very artistic.

"Rocket Attack U.S.A." was featured on
Mystery Science Theatre 3000
and quite rightfully so. It is
really
bad.
