Beach Boy Author:
This from New York magazine online:
You don’t think of Beach Boys co-founder and lead singer Mike Love as a New Yorker. But the prototypical California boy and his wife, Jacquelyne, did buy an apartment on East 93rd Street in 2004. “They wanted to renovate something,” says broker Gary Brynes of the Corcoran Group, who’s now selling the space for the Loves. Priced at $2.35 million, it’s a top-of-the-line rehab: Brynes (who’s handling the listing with Marcia Salonger) says the couple handpicked the finishes and oversaw all the details of the extensive reworking, which combined two units. The kitchen has a built-in glass table cantilevered from a counter, and in two of the bathrooms, the floors have rocks embedded in tile, lending it a pebbly beach feel. Endless summer indeed.

I've heard two versions of the story of Michael's reaction to Dennis' death - the version Andrew recounted in his post above, and the other, which basically was Michael cracking open champagne and proudly declaring "well, that's one less Wilson I have to deal with."
Bahahahahaha!

Hi Steven, not sure if your still checking this thread but i just finished reading 'Heroes & Villians' and i just wanna say how much i enjoyed it.
i knew going in that this book focuses more on the 'dirty laundry' aspect of the band but thats exactly what i wanted to read about.
I found myself thinking several times during this book "what the hell are these guys thinking?". You realise just how self destructive they were.
Great job!

Hi all,
I started reading Heroes & Villains last week. I just read about Dennis's death. I will read chapters 2 and 3 when I have a chance. I know that this book will cover a lot of things that would be considered gossip, dirty laundry or self distructive. I do think that the drugs and alcohol were either ways of self meidcating or self abuse. I was only in high school when I ifrst read about Brain doing drugs. I was in high school when Dennis died. I have read about Mike and the champagne also. The Landy part should be interesting and scary.
