Some (far too many) guys in BB "fandom" are among the worst people around. I could name them one by one. Pure undiluted jackals - no offense intended to real jackals, I'm using them as metaphor. Sorry, but someone has to tell the sad truth. Shame on them.

This. A million times this.


I’ll be straight up and admit the way the fan community has devolved to the point where people are catcalling from the audience and claiming abuse, and posting things on various forums claiming potentially libelous things with NO PROOF , and talk sh*t about anybody who doesn’t agree with them …  real talk it’s killing my enthusiasm. Neither does the fact that there is little to no official communication with the fans, to the point people find out about cancellations from other sources, ngl that bothers me too. It makes things way harder to defend and/or explain. It leads to these baseless allegations, and certain people who have barely hid their disdain of Brian over the years then feel empowered to talk their sh*t. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with people. Complete lack of empathy for their fellow human. But hey we live in a society where if you speak out against racism and homophobia you get slammed for “woke politics “.  Cause acceptance of those different than you is bad, you know, And then people wonder why I’m suicidal. Straight up, this world fucking sucks. So yeah when I see certain people dogging out Brian , a kind man who doesn’t possess a mean or cruel bone in his body, straight up that pisses me off. I try to be neutral , but some of the things I’ve read lately is inexcusable. People just need a boogeyman to vilify , even when there is none. Especially when there is none.  

So if anyone from Brian’s team is reading this… even though Brian’s touring was to keep him active and therapeutic, and Brian needs the adulation, unfortunately too many of the “fans”  are made up of Karens who always know better. These mental geniuses hate how people dictate what’s best for Brian , as they themselves dictate what’s best for Brian.  They figured it out! Everyone in Brian’s band, his family and loved ones, everyone, all banded together to force Brian to tour against his will to be miserable onstage all in the name of breaking even , if that. Everyone in the world except these brave keyboard warriors . 🙄

On the other hand if anyone raises a question about  Brian's wellbeing, some will call them misinformed or conspiracy theorists. One side lacks the proof as the other. I don't know what this has to do with homophobia and racism. But when you get told one race is inferior to another or responsible for sins of the past while other sins are not to be mentioned, you get pushback. Calling someone a Karen might not be the most tolerant thing to say either. Actually kind of degusting.

It sounds like you don't like the people performing the music. I don't really care about that. The music sounds good.
Dennis wasn't the best person in the world at all times, but many put that past because of the songs.

As much of you accuse Awesomeman for not knowing what is really happening, you seem pretty sure from the other point of view that Brian would not be doing tings if he didn't want to.
Are you certain about that? There are many accounts of Brian's handlers pushing Brian for better or worse.

Brian is heading up to Kelowna, BC this summer. https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/368394/Outdoor-music-festival-Rock-the-Lake-returns-to-Prospera-Place
Looks like a great lineup, especially for those who grew up listening to Canadian artists. Note that Chilliwack has a few Beach Boys sounding songs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1tczMnoRek

Enjoyed it, lot of old ground covered and not keen on some of the talking heads but some really great moments and a nice insight into Brian's life.

Very emotional at times re: his brothers and....Jack Rieley.

Was interesting to see the therapeutic effect a song like "It's OK" has for Brian when he wanted LPR off and it put back on in the car.

Hey!.....and Brian finally listened to POB!

I am sure Brian has been asked about POB before...even in this interview he quotes a few words from River Song:https://youtu.be/Tn9nLxUAAmI?t=397

Amazon Canada has the 5 CD set being released on July 23rd still Possibly just later updating their site?

Does anyone know if the vinyl sets will come with a download card?

Thanks!

Bruce wore pants and didn't seem to adjust the mic enough. A better adjusted mic would have brought a better sound.

Al Jardine joined them on stage at Big Sur:

On their upcoming album, Native Sons,where the band pays tribute to artists associated with Los Angeles,they included a nice cover,sung by David Hidalgo. Pretty laid back,with a nice outro. https://youtu.be/lJtSi6-0418

Four years of "malarkey"" has led to perhaps the greatest political statement ever from a President.
"So the best way to get something done, if you, if you hold near and dear to that, you uh, um, like to be able uh...Anyway." Blue Collar Joe.

As Frank Drebin said and the media repeats, nothing to see here, please disperse!!

The big mystery is why was Brian permitted to participate in the Spanish version? It has been said that he wasn't allowed to be in the original single unless Landy was credited.

The main "what if" I wonder about the BB's would be what if Mike Love was a much better saxophone player? He could have played a lot more sax parts in their songs, sorta like Clarence Clemons was for Springsteen. So he would probably also have sung less. And maybe if he had sung less he wouldn't have tried to claim co-writing songs he didn't really contribute much to the writing of.

Fantastic!

Never mind asking Brian and Mike about Do It Again. Has anyone asked Bill Jackson???

I have been asking for information on Bill Jackson for years now! I think in one interview Mike gave Bill a slightly different name.
Bill, are you out there?

Video from NYE at Mar-a-Lago

It looks like Mike and Dean Torrence  performing Kokomo (:31 into the video)

https://youtu.be/RRwtDKguyso?t=31

Not a mask worn in sight. Did Mike get tested before performing? Did anyone in his band? Like for f***’s sake, politics aside, this is not safe!

Well Florida has been pretty good in dealing with corona as compared to New York and California where they are so strict on masks. Weird eh?

“Florida breaks record with 17,000+ coronavirus cases in one day“

Well isn't that something. So why is California where we can see people walking alone on the beach and driving alone wearing masks, on huge lockdown still soaring then? Testing? No testing?

plus bring matzo-ball soup

I really wish it wasn't crickets and that we heard some new FF news, but let's face it - Mike and Bruce might just be too distracted by their tears of sadness for their orange hero losing the election.

Maybe the sadness has kept the box set from coming out in any sort of expedited manner. It must be hard to sign BRI paperwork that is soggy from being drenched in tears. But if Mike wanted to help speed up efforts to greenlight the set to get it out before Christmas, a quick release could help pad his pockets with enough money to contribute to Trump's slush fund to pay off legal debts! Why doesn't Mr. Positivity look on the bright side?

Election "Fraud" Demonstration Time?

By your logic, FF Box has been announced. Let's declare the winner before due process is followed through right? How is calling someone orange not racist?
Who are the world series champions for 2021? Please declare! Amazing how quickly it went from Russians made the 2016 election illegitimate to elections can't be illegitimate!

Good on him though. You got to be a particular heinous prick to have voted Trump, not for his politics really but because of his completely unacceptable conduct as president and person.

Judgemental comments like that are part of the reason Trump wins. No concerns over Hillary or Obama or Joe eh?
What part of a great economy, no started wars, and freedom do you hate? Seems your head is stuck in MSNB where every positive change this admin has implemented gets buried in the reporting cycle.
