It's 100% relevant to The Beach Boys.

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

If that were a valid criteria, I think we would see a few more of the 'general on topic' threads moved to the Sandbox!  Wink

None of the people involved are "bad" in any manner of speaking.
Signed sincerely. Can't argue with this statement.

Typing "Brian, Al and David" takes 0.03 seconds longer. Don't be lazy.
Depends on one's ability to write fast. I certainly cannot type that in 0.03 seconds.

It will likely be adopted by the people behind Brian's career as an official band name eventually (see the spelling of "SMiLE").

I doubt that. But as you, I too prefer casual "Smile" to "SMiLE".

For the record, I'll say that (the) "BAD" (show) sounds fantastic! I like how it goes exactly in order of importance, i.e. Brian-Al-David. Just perfect coincidence.

Signed.

I hate Acronyms, because of the idea behind it. 

People type Acronyms because it's easier for them.  So they can be lazy, they use an acronym.

This FORCES the reader, to work harder, so they can figure out the Acronym! 

So essentially, to be lazy you make somebody else work harder.  Horrible. 

I think all of them shouldn't be used, unless it's just painfully obvious what it stands for.

I completely agree with you, sir.  One of my pet peeves on this board is the use of acronyms for song titles.  Ok, so we all know that WOTS is Warmth of the Sun, but it might be confusing to a person new to this board.  And there are times when some of the more obscure BBs titles are being discussed, and I have to stop and decipher what everybody's talking about!
