the article was meant to be funny, good for a chuckle... which I did.

the author also points out something no one else really has: Mike's book is conveniently being released a year after Brian's, which will give him time to address anything he finds objectionable, and put the old Mike Love/American Family spin on things. some things never change...  Roll Eyes

Yeah, dammit, just like the book he released in 1992, a year after Brian's first autobiography. Some things don't change...  Grin

This article doesn't even imply that Mike "killed" Smile. It didn't become a topic of discussion in this thread until Wirestone brought it up and he was not bringing it up in order to attribute a comment to the Guardian writer. So can we please dispense with the attempts at de-legitimizing a humor essay for something it doesn't even say?

Well, if for Mike Love, "the formula" meant band-oriented music with non-poetic lyrics over ornate heavily-produced songs with introspective and/or poetic verse, then him preferring Smiley Smile makes absolute perfect sense. Which is exactly the case.

One part of the formula you did not mention was commercial viability.

Smiley is about as uncommercial as anything can be.

In 1974 Mike Love's concept album Endless Summer ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a comeback that rocked the music world.

Well, that doesn't make sense though because it is the formula for commercial viability, no? If not, what is the formula for?

I need a little bit of clarification here: I'm not quite sure what you qualify as "exactly the case" - Smiley Smile being band-oriented music with non-poetic lyrics or Mike preferring Smiley over SMiLE?

The former. Except not entirely. There are poetic lyrics on the album but none of the new songs for it contained any.
