This is a little off topic, but WHY did Mike "take over" the leadership? This isn't a put down of Mike, and I don't intend it to turn out that way. My question is, simply, why did Mike not want Al in the group? Why did he want Dave back in the group? Now, here is the BIG question: Why was Carl presumably totally left out? I realise that Carl was very sick by this point, but it was still his band. Not HIS band, but "his band" in the sense that he always participated in concerts, and recording sessions. Why would Mike and Bruce allow Carl to find out from Dave that he, Dave, was back in the band? As Andrew made it more than clear in his last post, it wasn't like Mike was making millions off of his being the "leader". At least not by this point(1997-8).
Carl didn't "find out from Dave" that Dave was back in the band. He found out from the L.A. Times. All of this is addressed in The Lost Beach Boy book... which was published by Virgin books a couple of years ago.

Sit quietly with your eyes closed and without effort repeat the following:

Meleco... as in: Mike's own label? I only know of the Catch A Wave CD. And that was 1996.
KokoMoses:
You're book is amazing, btw, Jon!
My favorite BBs related book thus far! Second only to The Real Beach Boy!
Will you PLEASE do us a favor and write a bio of Mike next?
Someone HAS to do it!
Right?

I'm going to bump this thread because I happened upon it, and think it's interesting.
