from Chapter 252: The Case Against Alan Jardine (Continued)
Alan Jardine can't let things go. He professes to follow the teachings of the Maharashi Mahesh Yogi, but his true guru seems to be bitterness... and the "Man from Monterey" sure knows how to nurse a decades-long grudge instead of letting the good vibrations flow. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along? God only knows why he persists in saying terrible things about me in interviews, always painting the Beach Boys as heroes and villains. Guess who he calls the villain! All I want to do is spread positivity all summer long. It pains me deeply as a bandmember and lifelong friend to say this, but he just can't let things go.
Take for example 1998. Carl Wilson had passed on after a brave struggle. Zeppo Wilson was moving heaven and earth to keep things afloat, the family really came together and I was an entertaining an offer to play the Super Bowl without Al Jardine. But where others saw reasons to come together, Al Jardine saw an opportunity: in his twisted mind he figured they could continue being the Beach Boys without me! I didn't even know who Peter Cetera was but he thought he and Cousin Brian would somehow make up for the lack of Mike Love. He didn't understand that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts, and how we each make such wonderful, endless harmony together. So I had no choice but to remove him from the band to preserve the wonderful group we maintain to this day playing shows from coast to coast, country to country, paying tribute every night to the talents of Carl, Dennis, and Brian.
There isn't a tribute to Al Jardine, and it's not just because my band can do a much better "Help Me Rhonda" or an even sweeter "Then I Kissed Her," and it's not even because he warned us not to use his likeness on the video projections -- it's because I still can't believe how he tried to arrange some sort of symphonic "Beach Boys" Pet Sounds tour without me! Without I, Mike Love... who penned the immortal words "good night baby, sleep tight baby." That hook that everybody remembers and helped put our track in every romantic comedy and car commercial we rented it to. How could you possibly perform Pet Sounds without that?
Jardine thinks we are somehow "cheapening the legacy," just like he does when my good friend John Stamos from television's hit series "Full House" would join us on stage to play a hot guitar solo or show us he knows how to play the drums. Alan would make a face, a sour face that was totally against our fun in the sun image... but that's just because he can't let go. Can't move on from the past, can't embrace the future and "do it again." What he did to me in the 90s I will never forget, they say betrayal comes in many forms but it's most upsetting form has got to be a small man with orange hair in a white suit.
Alan Jardine just can't let things go.
Ontor, you obviously have gotten your hands on a first draft copy of the manuscript....You must share other chapters.

I know it's nitpicky, but for such a confident guy why does Mike always have to bill himself as "of The Beach Boys"? Mick Jagger doesn't need to. Paul McCartney doesn't either?
I don't think any of them was in the band

Some predictions:
http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/nov/21/mike-love-what-to-expect-from-his-autobiography
Surely the book will get lots of promotion. But unfortunately most of it will probably be like this. Though it's the same stuff that we predict on this board, it's all in fun and not too serious. Yet when written e.g. by the Guardian it's just stupid if they don't happen to have an advance copy.
Best way to promote this book and max sales would be to go out on the road with Brian, Al, Dave, Bruce, and maybe even Blondie and Ricky. But that might mean holding a few punches in the book. Ho hum…

Yeah. My immediate thought when I saw the release date was "Oh well, no PS50 tour."

That Mike has decided to do this book at all, in the firm knowledge that there isn't a hope in hell of it getting a fair hearing in the media at large (never mind on the BB forums) is probably the most amazing fact concerning this project.

Mike - a stoic victim of a heartless, cruel and unjust society in moral decay. Still he releases a book. We certainly need heroes in a time like this and Mike is stepping up to the plate.

I do not have a closed mind. Your assumption is therefor wrong. Must be a first.
And your assertion only a close-minded person fail to see Mike as a victim is wrong. You can not feed false premises into a logical argument and get away with it. I don't see Mike as any kind of victim since he is a fairly dominant person and often gets things his way. Am I wrong here?
I intend to:
buy Mike's book
read Mike's book
take into consideration the information presented in Mike's book
compare that information with other accounts of information

Well....
and then he posted this on his facebook site:
Being bald, one should always wear a hat in the sun.
To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward very much to see what Brian and Mike have to say about the Beach Boys tour and it's ending in 2012 repectively. IF they have to say more than what we read in interviews.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

It would be nice if they weren't able to read each others books before publication, so as to stop at least some of the he said/he said
