The Smiley Smile Message Board

i was just wondering, if there are any beach boy groupie tailes flying around,


That said, where there even any groupies with the beach boys

I don't know any stories, but how could there not be groupies? I mean at one point they were one of the biggest rock groups of the 60's. You're going to tell me they didn't get laid? I mean listen to any of there concerts, all you hear are screaming girls.

Really dumb question. Dennis Wilson is among the most popular groupie sandwich meats of all-time.

Cut the guy some slack, he's 16!

John Stamos, he was a groupie  :-D

You're right, I let that one slip when I came home from a party last night and probably was still feeling the....er... spirits. Better judgement always tells me not to insult people, brain-is-god just keep firing whatever questions come to mind...glad to have you participating in the board. That said...Ron....So what, when you were 16 you didn't figure that Sinatra, or Elvis, or Charlie freakin' Chaplin might have sampled their legions of groupies?  I somehow read the question as implying that groupies are a phenomenon that materialized in the post-BB's world... that honestly struck me as really dumb. If he can identify the word groupie then it seems common sense might kick in and remind him that Jesus had groupies so Mike Love probably did too. For any other 16 year-olds who might be wondering... The groupie has been around for thousands of years, and the BB's did some of them. But re-reading Brain's question this morning leads me to wonder if he really meant something different...like groupies screwed every other group but not the BB's?? Either way its just not good.   

    :-D :-D :-D

Oh yeah, they had groupies, I dunno if Mike and Bruce have groupies this day, but even into the 80's they did.

yeah i was getting at something differint, i was asking if there was an stories going around,

A simple NO would of been a reasonable answer....wise guy,

But anway, anbody hear of any stories

not a groupie story per se, but theres an EXCELLENT dennis story for the track 'all i wanna do' in the desper thread. do a search :3d

Since that woman was paid for her 'services' she was technically not a groupie.  ;D

Absolutely - she was a hooker Denny grabbed off Hollywood & Vine.

hmm, the gal gets to be on a recorded song for the group, she gets to be with Denny....I would have done that for free.....I dunno about the first part tho, I wonder every time she hears that song if she doesn't get a tad red-faced?

For some reason I doubt she played the record much. Perhaps Dennis sent a her a free one for a tip.

While we're on this topic, did any of the Boys hook up with any other celebrities, beyond Dennis and Christine McVie?

hence the "not a groupie story per se" ;)

When I was 16, I was into the Beatles and I thought it was horrible that John Lennon cheated on his first wife with Yoko Ono, and I thought Paul McCartney probably met Linda at a photo shoot and that the beatles all slept together in the same hotel room on tour.  I didn't even think about groupies... so his question about whether the BB's had any struck me as something I might have asked back then, yeah. 

As Lennon said to Tom Synder even the guys sweeping up after the elephants get some. Basically I think of all the musicians I like only Charlie Watts was faithfull. Now does that make me think less of them on one level, yes, but is it my concern really?  I think some like Elvis were probably more gentlemenly to women then say Jim Morrison, but it really is none of my business. It is between the couple and really doesn't concern me or what I think of somebody musically.

re Dennis, there were the Golden Cocksmen and the Penetrators...if I recall correctly .....


as for groupies in general ....Jim Baker, and Bill Clinton payed dearly for their involvement with young adoring women.  It is not necessarily just rock stars.

I actually have a hard time imagining some of the Beach Boys being unfaithful to their wives and/or girlfriends. Al, Carl, and Brian just seem too nice to bother with that stuff. I am probably totally wrong though. 

Don't forget, Brian, Carl, Mike, Dennis, (and maybe Al and Bruce, not sure) were all single for awhile.

And I could definitely see Brian cheating on Marilyn.

And he did, with her sister?! (Allegedly)

I found a couple of Brian Wilson stories while skimming one of the new books about the Laurel Canyon scene.  One was abut a woman that hung out on the scene who was invited to a party at the Wilsons' house on Laurel Way around 1966.  Brian sat down next to her and put his hand on her thigh.  He asked her if she would like him to shave her legs, which totally freaked her out.  All I could think of was "Hey Little, Tomboy."  I guess Brian must have had a leg-shaving fetish. 

Well yeah...that first line of Caroline No...he's not talking about her head. Sigh...the scariest thing to me is that I know there will be people out there who think I'm serious.

No allegedly about it. Happened. My sources are impeccable.  8)

Well, yeah, and he DID write a song about it.

hmmm...back when a certain beach boy was alive and the group was touring "north of the border" in a certain city and location this beach boy did not make the concerts because of "ladies in port of call" and a certain family member would not let this beach boy "play" in that city......................

clear as mud isn't it..... :lol :lol

Which book did you find that in? I'd love to read some books about the Laurel Canyon scene. The only book I've read documenting that kind of stuff is 'Waiting For The Sun' by Barney Hoskyns.

The other book about Laurel Canyon, called "Laurel Canyon," with a long subtitle after it, is by Michael Walker.  It was released a month or two before the new Barney Hoskyn Laurel Canyon book.  I haven't read the whole thing; I was just looking through it at Barnes and Noble.  There is another Brian story in there about him constantly visiting Chris Hillman's house to talk to Chris's girlfriend.   They would put up with him only because they felt sorry for him, because he seemed really lonely.  Which is an odd trait in a recently married guy, so it wouldn't surprise me if Brian weren't totally faithful, because he was a troubled man when he decided to get married.  Or at least a guy who had a hard time making up his mind.

The new Hoskyn's book is called "Hotel California."  It's a follow-up to "Waiting for the Sun."  It covers the '70s.  I did buy that one, and if you like that period, it's fairly interesting.  It covers the moguls of the era, especially David Geffen.  The musicians covered are mostly CSN & Y, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and the Eagles, with a little James Taylor, David Blue, Judee Sill, and a tiny bit of Van Dyke and Jimmy Webb.  If you like the Mellow Mafia at all, it will be right up your alley.   Of if you hate them and want to read nasty stories about them, you'll find plenty in the book.   And some groupie stories, though not much about Brian and the rest, other than a mention of Danny Hutton's party house.

thanks.
