Title: Mike "Inhaled" In The Tent Post by: Iron Horse-Apples on November 07, 2011, 02:06:24 PM Looking at the tent picture in the booklet, it is very obvious that we have some very stoned Beach Boys on display
The three Wilsons and Mike look completely out of it, believe me, I know stoned eyes when I see them Compare them to Al and Bruce This would add credence to the rumours that Mike very much embraced the 60's. I remember reading somewhere on this board that Mike was a big dope smoker. A revelation to me, and part of my ongoing process in learning to love the Love again. Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: harrisonjon on November 07, 2011, 02:15:10 PM Mike could legitimately argue that there's a huge gulf between dope and the stuff the Wilsons were imbibing at various times. IIRC every Wilson did hard drugs at some point, which is a totally different problem to smoking weed.
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: Iron Horse-Apples on November 07, 2011, 02:18:15 PM Absolutely, and a view I share.
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: joshferrell on November 07, 2011, 02:22:39 PM I guess it's too bad Bill Clinton wasn't there then he would have no choice but to inhale... :hat :hat.

Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: Iron Horse-Apples on November 07, 2011, 02:28:13 PM I suppose I always had Mike on the "straight" side of the fence. As I say, I'm going through a period of reassessment when it comes to our favourite bald-headed baritone.
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: Mr. Wilson on November 07, 2011, 02:55:36 PM If you look at American band video.. Song.. Time to get alone video..To me they ALL look stoned on pot..And that"s no big deal..Just an observation..
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: harrisonjon on November 07, 2011, 03:05:08 PM The wild side of Mike is surely how many kids he fathered. It suggests a view of women that was similar to Dennis's.
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: Aegir on November 07, 2011, 03:14:05 PM Equating smoking pot with being cool is just as bad as equating smoking pot with being lame.
aka People of all kinds smoke pot, a.s.s.h.o.les and awesome kind people and everyone in between.

True. My predisposition to see it as cool is now revealed to the world. (Amongst today's youth though, in the UK anyway, it is now seen as a chav thing.) I was just surprised, as it seemed to run contrary to everything I thought about Mike during this era. Good, bad or in between, I just didn't see him as a smoker. Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: Mr. Cohen on November 07, 2011, 06:10:02 PM Hey, Mike wrote "She's Goin' Bald". He also wrote a song about tropical island cannibalism on that same album, called "Gettin' Hungry (For My Kind of Woman)". He was definitely far out.
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: runnersdialzero on November 07, 2011, 06:17:32 PM Didn't Mike co-write "Dur Dur D'être Bébé"?
Title: Re: Mike \ Post by: oldsurferdude on November 07, 2011, 06:23:58 PM The root of the problem was that Myke inhaled as he was being born. :thud
