I am so tired of seeing this. Sincerely, despite anything I say here or elsewhere on the board seeming to imply that I'm kidding. Here are a solid ten reasons why you should stop:

1. The word "BAD" looks really stupid in all caps.

2. The word "BAD" in caps implies some kind of BAAAAD MUTHA FUCKA stuff, which is just stupid.

3. None of the people involved are "bad" in any manner of speaking.

4. It will likely be adopted by the clueless people behind Brian's career as an official band name eventually (see the spelling of "SMiLE"). Ticket sales plummet, no one wants to see BAD and their new album FUCKING AWFUL (an secret acronym for Fellows, Underutilizing Cake Kills Indians Needing Goods, And Water Fills Up Liver) sold exactly negative seven copies and reached #959395395939939395995999999999999999999999999999.3 on the Billboard charts.

5. People are gonna start going to these concerts saying, "Yeah, I already saw BAD in concert before a couple weeks ago" and will look like total dipshits as a result.

6. The word "BAD" seriously looks stupid in caps.

7. In the context of the Beach Boys, people might start assuming it stands for Bruce, Assholewithbaseballcap (aka Mike Love, as pointed out by someone else here on the board) and Dadrien Baker (a common misspelling of Dadrien Baker's name)

8. Typing "Brian, Al and David" takes 0.03 seconds longer. Don't be lazy.

9. What the fuck, guys, are you kidding with this shit

10. The word "BAD" looks really, really stupid in all caps.

I wholeheartedly agree. I hate seeing it written as BAD. It's not a BAD show, it's a Brian Wilson show.

BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD. I will write BAD as much as I want, this ain't a classroom. I will write BAD as much as I want, this ain't a classroom. I will write BAD as much as I want, this ain't a classroom. I will write BAD as much as I want, this ain't a classroom. I will write BAD as much as I want, this ain't a classroom.

You're right, it is not a BAD show, but of all the bad behavior in this place, writing BAD is the least of our issues. We are a bunch of fucking bitchers, that is for sure. We are never without complaining about something.

The Brianista Prayer

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat

I disagree with RDZ, especially #8 which is not subject to opinion. The only thing I agree with is the first half of #2, which is why I like the BAD acronym in the first place.

The only way for you, RDZ, to prevent me using "BAD" is becoming an administrator and ban me. Other than that I think you're good.

BTW, who was the first to use the "BAD" acromym? I think it might have actually been me, but I may be wrong of course.

I prefer consistency in acronyms: M&B and BA&D.

OK- BA&D does actually take .03 seconds longer to type than BAD and it doesn't feel so inappropriate to Brian Wison and his music as the BAD acronym does.

I suggest we change it to DAB, which looks and sounds just as dopey, but at least it's not BAD.  Also it puts the underdog David first, and the always humble Brian last. 




Problem solved! Cool

DAB is a German brewery.

I forgot to say, my favorite BW solo song is MAD. Wouldn't it be great if BAD played MAD? Grin

Plus it needs rewrking with Beck so prominent on the bill for the next leg. BBAD is even dumber looking in print!

What about B*A*D?

Logged

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.
