Title: Mike Love Interview: Dan Rather Big Interview Post by: Rick5150 on December 28, 2017, 05:25:33 AM Please delete this if it was already discussed. I spent a good amount of time searching for it using "Dan Rather" as a keyword and did not see anything other than a passing reference to "a recent Dan Rather interview" mentioned.
Mike Love was featured on the Season 4 episode 16 of Dan Rather's Big Interview series. The brief description was, "The original Beach Boys frontman discusses the group and his relationship with Brian Wilson." He came off pretty good to me. Mostly everything we have heard before - Mike touches on TM, drug use and how everything would be great if he and Brian could be in a room together, blah, blah, blah. The exception was when Rather asked Mike about his infamous HoF speech. Mike started to explain what he meant to accomplish, then pretty much admitted he handled it poorly and that he has since apologized to those he called out. I had it on in the background waiting to watch Brian Wilson and Friends so I wasn't paying a lot of attention. Mike's eyes looked terrible. They were red at the beginning of the interview and it looked like he had a scratch under his left eye later in the program. For some reason, I was completely grossed out by his fingernails. I expect they are manicured and have some sort of coating on them, but they look like creepy cadaver hands to me. The length and color just looked wrong. I will have to see when it airs again. |
