I see no issue with the band getting back out there as long as it can be done safely.

Your lucky your a friend of mine lol, no I did not mean to be or come off as condescending in anyway, though those that know me know i have slight bit of preference towards Dr. Love, I will never ever in a million years discredit Brian in anyway for his contributions to The Beach Boys while he was in the Beach Boys.  There will always be a Mike and Brian debate, while it does always seem to get old sometimes there is just no other s h i t to talk about.  And getting back to the original idea of this thread brian did have some great songs that Mike did not write on, but i find the list to extremely skewed as alot of those songs brian did not write and the band covered, this would be open for better debate if songs like fools, john b, then i kissed her, were not included on the list.  And Mr. Beach Boy do the briansta's know that you have adopted a pro Mike Love alter ego??  Bluebird would go nuts if she found out!

All of you lack the clear intelligence to understand that with out Mike, Brian was a composer!  He was the George Gerswhin of  pop music in the 60's if he didnt have Mike to help him put those words to the songs.  Yeah I'm gonna take alot of heat for this post but I hope all of you realize they were a team!  Alot of you brian fans never seem to realize this, They were both GREAT at what they did!  Stop hating on Mike, and stop singing his lyrics that you sing everyday and you know you do it!

I'll be honest, its hard to be able to match your hat, shoes, shirts and pants.  Having asked mike about his wardrobe one time, he takes great pride in the part.  From what I gather he does not do much of his shopping I know the wife does alot of his wardrobe ensable.  Hey for 66 he's not that bad.  The man does have alot of unique hawiian shirts a very nice collection.

I agree that BBB does have its fair share of poster's that do tend to be very very polite to Bruce and try to post a message to him.  But in all fairness I have seen Bruce answer post's that im not sure other Beach Boys members would answer.  The one thing I love about BBB is its not like when Brian logs on the blue board and he responds everyone pretty much kisses his posterior that gets a bit old.

Farmer was a hell of a dude and all the times I talked to him he was extermly well rounded and a flat out awesome singer.  Now the band is down a baritone voice in this worries me a bit.  Im sure randell will do awesome on the bass, and scott will do a hell of a job as far as being the MD.  I cant wait to see them, this will certainly make it very interesting.
