Have you read Brian’s book?
Peter Sharply, Leeds
No, I haven’t. Do I intend to? I don’t think
so. I’d rather just sit and have a chat with
Brian and hang out, like we did in the old
days when we were writing together. I
haven’t seenLove&Mercy, either, but the
one thing I do know is that my character
in that film was portrayed as objecting to
some element of an instrument on “Good
Vibrations” – which is made up. I was 100
per cent positive about “Good Vibrations”.
I came up with the chorus and wrote all the
words. I was mischaracterised.
"I haven't seen the movie, but here's something I'm going to complain about anyway...."
If Mike had seen the movie, he'd know that in the film he doesn't complain about an "element of an instrument", he's complains rather about Brian's perfectionist nature in recording the instrument. Not only has Mike by his own words professed to find the studio a tedious enterprise, but also that moment in the film actually humanizes him more and it's a moment that the audience can identify with[/b].
I've had people tell me Mike is way more bent out of shape (which is a bummer for numerous reasons) about the "Love and Mercy" film, and his bringing up the film when the question was about Brian's book tends to reinforce this. I'm guessing he's annoyed the L&M soundtrack got released too. It's really disappointing and sad, and I truly wish Mike wasn't still capable of being so disappointing.
I agree, I thought he was portrayed really quite sympathetically and likeably (apparently not a word, whatever) in L&M. It was easy to see things from his perspective in the film. I wish he'd see the movie.

I bet he has watched it a few times. Would be shocked if he hadn't.

The message editor didn't like it... glad I stuck with it :)

Well, maybe you're right and he's just putting us on. But it wouldn't surprise me too much if he's telling the truth. Especially if he doesn't want his self-perception to be challenged. That's tough for anyone, but I think it's especially tough for someone who seems to be actively trying to edit history. If he's seen L&M, would he really let any perceived inaccuracies go?
