I don't even think Brian has read Brian's book.
Beyond the fact that this *hilariously* snarky comment has no basis in anything but guessing and conveniently deflects from the zillionth time Mike has made hypocritical comments in an interview, the problem and the root of the "did so-and-so read such-and-such?" question is that Mike keeps commenting on stuff he professes not to have read/viewed/listened to. How does he not know how poorly he comes across when he does that?
*Wild idea* here, but maybe Mike could have listened to Brian's 2004 "Smile" as a friend and colleague and enjoyed it or appreciated it (or at least been able to criticize it without being ignorant as to its contents). McCartney listened to "Double Fantasy", Lennon listened to "Coming Up", Al listened to "Cool Head, Warm Heart" when it came out on that Hallmark CD and said he liked it.
Similarly, Mike, you know, the guy who helped Stamos put together a magnum opus ABC TV movie that is *twice* as long as "Love and Mercy" and at times painted people as babbling morons, could just watch "Love and Mercy" and actually see for himself what it's all about. F**k everyone if Mike actually came away watching it actually appreciating one damn thing about Brian instead of (wrongly) assuming the movie paints him out to be the hun that he increasingly is becoming.
Remember back in the olden days of 2015 when Mike commented on the "The Right Time" without having even listened to it? You know, the 3-minute song that could be listened to for free on YouTube? Clearly, assuming for the moment that Mike actually isn't watching/reading/listening to this stuff, he's actually *going out of his way* to not do so, seemingly putting more effort into *avoiding* it than it would take to just face it.

Huh? Mike was a runner. School wasn't 'easy' for him. Reading? Uhhhh...NO!!! Writing lyrics like he was the poor man's version of the road map reading Chuck Berry....was about it.
I'm gonna stick with the 1 obvious question. [I can only figure that he hasn't 'cause he can't find it on a map.]

I agree, I thought he was portrayed really quite sympathetically and likeably (apparently not a word, whatever) in L&M.
It's a word (with roughly 35,500 hits to its credit): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/likeably.
Blah, who cares. ::) It's not even on-topic.
Boring questions. This is all people came up with?
