Mike on Mick...Jealous? Because I sing better? Get more chicks?”

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Isn't Mike being very tongue in chick, a variation of his old favourites "jokes that bomb"? Jesus, the guy HAS a sense of humour...

Yep, no better illustration of having a sense of humour than loving the ol' jokes that bomb routine.

Mike Love genuinely acted gay throughout much of his performing career, particularly in 1976. Kind of uncomfortable to watch him go limp-wristed, hand-on-hip in his ass-huggingly tight pants. Not sure what he was thinking. Mick never gave off gay vibes, despite his mincing stage presence.

So it's a bad thing to give off gay vibes? It makes you "uncomfortable"? Mick is better because he has never given off gay vibes? Is this in any way an appropriate comment?

I always thought Mick was Bi-sexual, at least as of the early 70s. Though, I also understood that what he did on stage was an act. Also, why is it that because Gay people have come out of the closet, that every single person is supposed to just welcome them, no questions asked? There was a reason why they were in the closet and many of those reasons are still alive. Like everything, it takes time for total acceptance. There are going to be people who are uncomfortable with homosexuality. There are some who will never accept it. It is human nature.

Doesn't mean that others shouldn't call out intolerance when they see it, just because intolerance may be "human nature."

LOL Just a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Where did anyone say every single person should accept them? No one should ever think that. There will always be people who are obtuse.

Just above your post, there. My question is, if someone is uncomfortable with "gay vibes" is it their right to do so? I believe that no one should be called out for anything. As long as no ones rights are violated, people should have a right to feel as they choose.

Strange way of using the word "right." Do I have the right to blink?

I always feel like I have to tread very lightly with you. You make me uncomfortable posting with you. Like I cannot be myself and state how I feel because you take almost everything out of context or correct how I should think or what I should say. So, I should have said Rights, as in Civil Rights. You have arguments with many people in here, so I assume you do this with your friends & family too. Must be awful for them, because it is awful for me. It's terrible to say, but anytime I post in here, you are the only person who I pray does not respond to my posts. Sorry for feeling that way, but thought you should know.


My Apologies to everyone for going off topic.

I doubt you would be saying that if the topic was race or gender or religion or a host of other matters. If, however, you want to mount a defense of people's private feelings of racism, I'd love to hear it.

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Yes, it is awful being related to me. I guess insinuating that is on par with questioning your use of the word rights, eh? Don't worry, I won't respond to your points further.

Bye all.

So drbeachboy is a homophobe?

Seems so. I guess my quote under my avatar will change to "Homophobe, since 8/20/2013", similar to AGD's. I have a brother and two sisters who are Gay & Lesbian, so I know full well what all three had to go through just to gain acceptance within the family, not to mention what they went through in the outside world. They have gone through a lot to be accepted. For them, it's taken 40 plus years to get where we are today. The acceptance we have today did not happen overnight.

Not anything wrong with giving off gay vibes at all. Mike's stage presence is/was cringe-worthy because he's always spouting off how he's been with so many chicks, and (from what I've read about him before transcendental meditation) was a violent guy always trying to prove how tough he is. It comes off as awkward and not very self-aware. Mick seemed confident in his stage presence. Please don't read things into my comment that aren't there, thank you. 

I admit I phrased myself poorly. I should have just said Mike looked creepy as hell. How's that?

Creepy is accurate.

Maybe some of you all (myself included probably) should consider taking a break from this site!

It's a bit ironic that a guy trying (and maybe failing) to be funny inspires pages of people getting testy with each other... I mean, look at it: everyone's reading all this crap into whatever Mike says and however he looks.... I'd dare say Mike wins in the end because he has folk all up in arms over him 24/7. Not bad marketing at all.

In the end, big deal! It's supposed to be noteworthy that the guy who fronts a band full of total dorks isn't quite as cool as Mick Jagger? Oh really??

[oldsurferdude]

I can't read according to Dohkture Beechboi, but it looks as if you're actually calling brOOth and the rest of the sidemen of the M&B band dorks-n'est pas? I certainly agree with you but just sayin'.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Mike was clearly channeling Mick Jagger in the 1976 tour footage but I gotta admit, I think he looks pretty cool.  Usually Mike looks super awkward standing in place and singing without an instrument.  Having the freedom to really move and jump around like that gave him an added stage presence I think.

Can you feel as you choose? I can't, I just feel, sometimes I choose to feel different from how I do, but then I still feel the way I do, not the way I choose.

"It's a damn shame." - Fantasy Mike Love

[phirnis]

I really like Mike Love's 1970s stage presence but then I like eccentric people in general. Compare his somewhat cheesy but highly energetic mid-70s performances to the early-80s footage where he looked totally average and didn't do much except for his singing and the odd stage banter and then tell me what you prefer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5uA58mO6t0 (1983 Seattle concert).

Now you're equating "gayness" with creepiness. Wanna give it one more go?

Can you feel as you choose? I can't, I just feel, sometimes I choose to feel different from how I do, but then I still feel the way I do, not the way I choose.

Meaning, not being told or forced to think or feel like someone else wants you too. Seriously, you couldn't figure that out?
