2 - "I'm feeling sad"... Mr. Positivity is never sad, upset, or bitter. He is HAPPY ALL THE DAMN TIME.

The state of the water does not necessarily mean that the singer himself feels anything more than regret.

"The final segment of the suite, "Summer's Gone," started from a conversation Wilson had with his brother Carl shortly before he died. (Wilson's mother had passed away two months earlier, and Brian was dealing with the fact that he might end up the last surviving member of the Wilson family.)

One afternoon in February, the Beach Boys crowd into the control room at Ocean Way to listen to the suite. John Stamos, the actor (a serious Beach Boys fan who often performs with Mike Love's band), stands in the back, twirling his sunglasses. When the music ends, the room falls silent. Finally, Stamos breaks the ice. "Magical," he says. Love, sitting next to me on a leather couch, has another reaction, which he demonstrates by putting his fingers into the shape of a gun, placing it under his chin and shooting himself in the head. "It's brilliant, beautiful, but I didn't write it, so it doesn't have that silver cloud on the cumulus nimbus," he says. "It's more cumulus than I probably would do."

Sounds kind of like when Mike first heard Til I Die when he said "Bummer."

Exactly. And when Mike goes to the grocery store, he knows precisely what he came for.

Thanks for posting that.  I think I've read bits and pieces, but never the whole article.  Great read. 

I wonder if we'll ever get an odds and ends album with the TWGMTR leftovers.  It took 20 years for Pink Floyd to release their leftovers from their last album (the better than expected mixed back known as The Endless River). 

Over the past few months, I've read several articles published during the 2012 tour that make you wonder exactly how they made it through all 73 shows. 

I also don't like the bring up politics on here, but I'm now a bigger Bruce Johnston fan after this read.

Why a bigger fan of Bruce? Cuz he called President Obama an asshole? I thought that was really bad form. And I'm sure he would have been very unhappy if somebody said the same of St. Ronnie.

Not so much that he called him an a$$hole, but a socialist, which is what he is. 

I consider myself a conservative, and I'll freely admit that George W. Bush did a poor job in his last term.  But, Obama is just awful.  He's built up a bigger deficit than the last 43 presidents combined.  And he supports criminals, not the police. 

I hear enough entertainers throw stones to the right, it's nice to see a few go to the left.

"With all your running around/You're getting to me/And bringing me down"

The only time Mike Love is ever down is when he's way down in Kokomo.
