GHB is a helluva drug.

Either that or "Pretend the existing bass line to Good Vibrations is a hook he contributed," but that's not quite as catchy.

I'm not gonna swap kindergarten insults with you, Beard. Or make this personal and bug the mods, that's what I was talking about.

But doubling down on this charade is preposterous. You lack conviction and bgas called it. Pure devil's advocate nonsense from people who should know better. You'd holler like stuck pigs if any of Mike's lyrical contributions were challenged... but wow, invoke the specter of the diabolical Melinda Wilson in defense of EUGENE FUCKING LANDY. Not transparent at all.

What a twisted version of "historical accuracy." A new low, fellas. Enjoy the view.

More like Landy put his name on Brian's songs the way Mike Love put his name on "Under the Boardwalk." Once this operation to restore Landy's credits is complete, maybe we need to take a hard look at Kokomo next. In the interests of historical accuracy of course. All of us are above petty feuds with our perceived enemies. The sincerity shines through... you can tell by the smiley faces.

Seriously, what a rabbit hole you guys are going down here. Historical accuracy? C'mon. You might as well wear t-shirts that say TRANSPARENT BULLSHIT. All of this isn't occuring in a vacuum, astute readers definitely can work out the context and axes being grinded.  Just look at SJS's post up there... gee, what could possibly be the underlying motivation there?

Exactly.

I think the best we can hope for are decent releases of the final UK shows one day.

Aw, you poor fellas!

What a great dance!

No bass?

Holy Sister Ray, Batman!

Besides, I'm a jerk... not an idiot.

I have documents proving this. Keep up the miserable work, Mike's Beard! Maybe you can be special friends with Evan and he'll sell you his dad's old leisure suit in exchange for all the help fighting the vicious tide of historical revisionism. Calling people idiots is a great first step in this long process. Best of luck!

Almost touching to see Manning being so petty, I suppose he'd be all for people calling him names as well. Grudge-a-go-go! Hopefully if someone called him a blithering moron he'd be equally understanding, right?

You guys seriously want to roll around in the mud over... Eugene Landy? That's what it's come to? By all means, go salvage his songwriting legacy... I'm sure that's a noble cause that will attract a groundswell of support.

I'll leave you to it, then. This is pretty tedious stuff and not worth annoying the mods.

but to rewrite history and pretend that Landy never contributed creatively during this era is just daft.

I really think you should make it your mission to ensure history is recorded properly, fight this terrible injustice wherever it occurs and make sure the good name of Eugene Landy isn't besmirched. All of his creativity can't be forgotten by history. His contributions were so critical, so worthy of fighting the good fight. Brian Wilson has stolen credit from Eugene Landy for long enough, right? This revisionism must not stand! Maybe team up with Evan and pursue legal action, I'm sure Mike Love would find it "interesting."

There's still time! Don't let "them" win!

I think that's kinda the point. I wonder if somewhere staunch Kelsey Grammer fans are disgusted.

Bizarre and horrible but not on purpose would be:

Now THAT is bizarre and horrible. The defense rests. In a nice chair.

A sloppy man that sounds nothing like Mike with black lines drawn from the corner of his eyes to make him look squintier makes me giggle more than a slick NBC production... kinda like Bob Mortimer as Lovejoy, say:



altho I'm sure Fallon nails Mike-ish dance moves.


Ok, who from this show is on the board?

"When you die the only thing that will be said of you is that you tampered with genius... and all the money that you made will be nothing in the sweeping tides of history!"

For a no-budget live public access show, it's a lot funnier than Jimmy Fallon.

"Are you ok? You're starting to act like Brian, Mike..."

RIP TORN: "Your music sucks!"

MIKE LOVE: "You washed-up drunk! I'll sue you, Torn! I'll take everything from ya!"

It's hilarious how someone can do a completely inaccurate impersonation yet totally nail the basic essence. He's gotta stay a regular character!

"You know it reminds of the Wilson brothers... their lives were cut short too. They had a lot of negative traits, there's a lot of melancholy in their life... they were selfish, childish, pathetic. They really brought everyone down... but that's where I came in. I was the positivity, I brought the good vibrations and fun fun fun to the Beach Boys."

"You are a footnote on a genius' tombstone!"

Love always wins.

"Sometimes, I pantomime a little bit."



"I kinda wish I could blame drugs for my role in this album."



"I blame drugs anyway. Yep. DRUGS! Drugs. Drugs drugs drugs."



"Cmon Mike, just try it. What's the worse that could happen?"

Pissing in their desk works.

Was he trying to take advantage of himself? What a lothario!

And more importantly, can any mention top this one?

Seems like with so private a person you'd need more like 20 or 30 months to pull off a decent biography.

Wild Honey would be so fun for a little mini-set to pull for 3 or 4 nights of a tour, that band could totally handle it... and can't you just imagine them playing the opening of "Aren't You Glad," it'd sound great with BW/AJ/MJ swapping verses maybe. Blondie on Wild Honey and one of those side two numbers, Darian on Darlin...

But bring on the Pet Sounds! Interesting festival lineup.

Such proximity to greatness! What did he smell like? Apples? Lawn clippings?

 

They kind of look like a pair of grandmothers with a gardening show. I'd watch it!
