That quote in the rolling stone article is enough to make you hate Mike Love.
What a tool
Yes, how terrible of him to call it brilliant and beautiful. What an awful, awful man.
So you missed him blowing his brains out with a gun, saying that because he didn't write it, it doesn't have a "silver cloud". If Mike got his hands on that song he would have changed it to "Summer's gone but not for long".
Yes, he mimed blowing his brains out. God forbid anyone ever make a joke. And what he's saying about his own writing is *exactly what all the people who attack Mike say about it too*. He said that if he'd done it, it would have been happier -- which it would. He didn't say it was bad, just that he would have done it differently.
Quote
Stop trying to defend his actions.
I'll defend him when he's defensible, as he clearly is in this case.
Quote
He doesn't appreciate when Brian puts his soul into his music. He wants Brian singing about Beaches and nostalgia for the rest of his days.
Actually, it seems like Mike doesn't particularly care what Brian does at all any more. That is, after all, what everyone has been attacking him for for the last six months...
Quote
I'm not saying Mike was always like that, His work at one point was so good I'd classify him as a genius but he's lost it, his creativity and his mind.
He's clearly got no creativity left, no, given every song he's worked on in the last thirty years or so. As for his mind, I strongly suspect you have no more idea of Mike's mental state than I or anyone else do.

It really is hard to defend about 90% of Mike's creative choices post -1975.

With The Beach Boys songs yes. Not so much some of the solo stuff with Celebration, First Love and Unleash the Love.

I see you left out Country Love....

I think Mike is becoming a tragic figure in the BBs story in some ways. A guy who wanted the fame and songwriting skills he had as a young man. Instead, he turned himself and his group into parodies of themselves.

Wouldn't this have to apply to ALL the Beach Boys other than Dennis??

I hear that young Turk Brian has done the odd worthwhile tune.

Obviously I wouldn't say that 90% of Brian's creative choices have been wrong but a fair chunk of them (or the decisions that people have made for him) have been. The post 76 BBs albums, BB88 to some extent, Sweet Insanity, GIOMH, Speed Turtle etc. Thankfully that has been righted (and he has been advised better) over the past several years...

This is a guy in his 70s who travels the world singing songs to thousands of appreciative fans every night and gets to have sex with beautiful, younger women on a regular basis. I wish I could be that tragic!
I'm sure Mike couldn't really care less about his public image and his name will always be on those early hits. I doubt the band's post 76 career will live on the same way except with the hardcore...

Of course, but my #1 fave Beach Boys song ever is "Goin On" which he wrote with Mike and my #2 is "Getcha Back"..... I'm obviously not claiming to be in any sort of majority of opinion here.

Those are definitely two of Mike's later day highlights.

Its not a coincidence those two highlights broke away from the "Fun in the Sun" mold.

This picture was just posted on FB of Brian working on something at Ocean Way. Priceless look on his face. I know I don't have to explain this to any of you, but how heartwarming is this photo?
Seems the studio was sold a week or so ago.

While on the subject of blowing one's brains out. Please hope Michael Bolton and Brian don't get any ideas over the coffee machine.

Good point! "Pitter Patter" is another good example of this rare phenomena.

Suddenly I heard Brian singing "When A Man Loves A Woman" with his late-70s Love You voice in my head...
Could be worse -- I heard Michael Bolton singing When A Man *Needs* A Woman in my head after reading your post.

God yes. I'd actually love (no pun intended) to meet/hang out with the guy.
As much as I bitch about his lyrics and his blitzkrieg of Endless Summer shenanigans, I have no idea what motivates this man to do the things he does, and thus I can't blame him for the decisions he's made. In his mind he's probably doing the most rational thing he can to stay happy (touring, keeping fans happy with the music they love).
That being said, I still wouldn't complain if he had nothing to do with Brian's current project.

Before this turns into anti-Mike Love thread #5838565748, I'd like to state very firmly that I want one last great BW-written rocker, in the style of Morning Beat for instance, lead-sung by Michael Edward Love. That's it. That's all I want. The new album can perfectly have that one song and I'll be happy.
