I’d rather have permanent soap scum than own SIP.

YOU compared Mike to Hitler first. Do you think he deserve that? Read what you write before posting.


Help me out here, Musto, as to where on this thread I called Mike Hitler. And remember, he is not a post or member of this board (that we know of). And furthermore, Mike Love doesn't need you to defend him. I only post my opinion of him and if you don't like that, well, that's fine but don't attack members because they don't happen to like Mike Love. It's none of your business. If you attacked someone you didn't like, then that's your business and I could care less.

As a fellow Lovester hater I have to say I look forward to your comments. They describe the subject with 100% accuracy and are hilarious to boot.

“The only way anything will change in the band members' lifetimes is some extreme event like Mike being charged and/or convicted of some serious crime or something of that nature”

Wouldn’t his solo albums qualify as that?

Dear Christ why on earth did you do this?  LOL

Mike Love.

Having to stare at a 400 lb’ers moose knuckle is more enjoyable than listening to anything the Lovester has done.

Have you ever seen another clown wear hats and shirts with their own name on it? The Lovester is a tool.

Mike Love is an anal bead. The end.

It angers me how Mike uses a heart for the O in love

The Summer of love video was the nadir of their entire career.

The remake of Surfin on SIP is the only thing keeping that album from surpassing Pet Sounds.

The Lovester’s book is the best for rear end wiping. Highly recommended.

My favorite version comes from American Family miniseries. It was hilarious.

This guy is a true piece of garbage. After listening to bits of this musical queef, I cast serious doubt on his contribution to any of the BB songs.

No offense to Ringo....but if Ringo Starr is in there then Brian Wilson should be in there
Ringo had a string of hit singles as a solo artist. Brian has not.

So did Huey Lewis and the News.

Some interesting bits in this time capsule from a strange moment in the band's history........


USA Today - August 20, 1998

Beach Boys Change, But the Sound Stays the Same


The Beach Boys, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof, are on the road again.
The songs are the same, of course, and Mike Love, 57, is front and center. But
aside from singer / keyboardist Bruce Johnston, 54, who joined in 1965 as a touring
replacement for Brian Wilson,
the rest of the band is virtually unrecognizable- even to fans.

Carl Wilson died of cancer in February; Al Jardine is off recording a solo album.
Brian Wilson, who hasn’t toured regularly with the Beach Boys in decades, is
basking in the reviews of his recent solo album, Imagination, and living in a quiet
suburb of Chicago.


Although those key members are missing, the band is chugging along as it has
every summer for 37 years, waving the flag for sun, cars and surf.
"Mike is the only one who really has to be here,” guitarist David Marks says. “He
has the distinctive voice. You can do without any one of us.”


"The Beach Boys are a band with great harmonies that sings the songs everybody
knows,” Love says. “Most of the audience doesn’t even know our names.” Don’t
tell that to Ted Cohen, press agent for the 1976 “Brian’s Back” tour. He bristles at
the idea of a Beach Boys show with no Wilsons. “What they are doing now is just
a hollow continuation of the brand,” he says. Cohen, now a Los Angeles media
consultant, thinks the current lineup is missing some vital parts. “Brian provided
the soul for the Beach Boys, and Carl was the heart.”


Marks, 50, now a permanent member, was until recently just a footnote in Beach
Boys history. He lived across the street from the Wilsons as a child and played
on the band’s first five albums; Jardine replaced him in 1964. Love asked Marks
to join the road show last year “to lend some authenticity,” Marks says. “Without
the Wilsons around, it adds something to have one of the founders onstage.” How
does he feel about being one of the Boys again after all these years? “Sure beats
sitting on the couch and flipping through the channels.”


"Emotionally there is a void, and it’s a drag that Carl’s gone,” Love says. “But for
the rest of us who are still here, life goes on, and we do the best we can. Even if
Carl isn’t there, it still sounds pretty good.” These are, after all, many of the same
musicians who’ve provided instrumental punch for two decades. They strive for exact reproductions of the
familiar, albeit at a pace that’s more energized than in recent memory. “Carl
slowed everything down so it would groove,” Marks says. “Now we’re going a
little faster.”

There are no plans to add to the canon, though “I’d like to write with Brian
again,” Love says. “I would have no interest in doing a Beach Boys album without
him.” Marks, however,is ready.“I’d love to record,” he says. “I’ve written
some great songs. I have friends who’ve written some great songs. But no one
here seems interested.”

Still, there’s no shortage of product. Endless Harmony, a VH1 documentary airing
Sunday, demonstrates that — despite Marks’ claim that it doesn’t matter who’s
onstage today — the Beach Boys’ music is the result of powerful interlocking personalities.
A companion CD, a career-spanning 25-track collection with a healthy
dose of compelling rarities and alternate versions, is a balanced cross section of
the group’s career.

Symphonic Sounds of the Beach Boys, produced by Johnston with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, is a classical treatment that began as part of a symphonic
tour but was derailed by Carl Wilson’s passing. Johnston is ebullient, chatting the
disc up at every opportunity. “I don’t care if this sells. It’s more of a statement.”
Capitol also hopes to re-release the band’s 1964 Christmas album, combined with
tracks from an unreleased 1977 effort, for this holiday season. And that will be
followed by new editions of the band’s creatively fertile 1970-76 output, with the
requisite bonus tracks and expanded liner notes.

“We’ve been dysfunctional at times,” Love says. “We’ve been self-destructive
at times. And time has taken its toll. But the most important thing is that we’ve
created a lot of happy people, millions of memories. These are literal good vibrations.
You can pick the group apart, but there is a lot of positivity that has been
created.”


Actually... Brian was the heart, Carl was the soul. And Dennis was the spirit.

And Mike was the rectum.

Mike should remake California Girl's with Urkel, JJ from Good Times, and Buddy from Charles in Charge. Should be a huge hit
48  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: How much time does Brian spend playing his piano and writing? on: August 01, 2017, 08:14:38 PM
When he isn't playing his piano or writing he is watching the movie Norbit on a loop.
49  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What are the top books/resources ever written/produced about the Beach Boys? on: August 01, 2017, 08:12:35 PM
Summer Dreams is an incredible movie. One of the best comedies of all time.

"Do I look like I'm going to hurt you brother?!"
50  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: John Stamos: Love Him or Hate Him? on: July 30, 2017, 09:02:26 PM
I don't hate him. I just wish he wasn't involved with The Lovester's traveling circus carnies.
