The fact Mike has admitted to reading this board

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

Well, yeah, that's Mike's way of saying, "Hey, saw you through the peephole yesterday. Pretty funny stuff, guys!"

Mike's watching us. You can't hide.

I'm sure Mike is more the Santa type "watching us" than the NSA type "watching us", after all he's given us gifts like "Big Sur".

And Looking Back With Love, Wrinkles, Country Love, John Stamos, the wretched Pisces Brothers, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn just to name a few.

Somehow I'm sorry for Mike that his moment of glory on this board was swept away by one little "Hi" by Brian.

But I'm optimistic that he'll get over it.

There might be no coincidence… collusion? Conspiracy? Maybe they talk more than we reckon…

I think he needs to one-up BW by scanning and posting the weirdest pictures of himself he can find to that thread.

For those who don't know, Mike said this on his facebook

I was just hangin out at home, sitting down soon for dinner and I decided to cruise Smiley Smile.....I stumbled on this photo.....Electrifying! Who came up this one?? I really dig it! Peace...ML

Honestly, that changes things for me. The idea of Mike sitting at home just before dinner, surfing smiley smile on his ipad reading all the awful things said about him on here is a bit of a bummer 

From now on I shall show Mike more of the love he deserves on this board, and I hope you all do the same. After all if it wasn't for him, we may not be here.

We love you Mike, enjoy dinner 

It's something to think about... I hope though that Mike has thick skin for all his years in the public eye, and I hope that he realizes that in general, most of those who have had strong words for him still love the man and his music very much; they just perhaps disagree with things they've heard or seen over the years.  The criticism seems to come out the most but the only reason folks are here is because of their immense love for the band, certainly that includes Mike. 

Personally of course I'm a big fan of Mike

He doesn't seem to strike me as wounded by it all.

I would imagine he's a tough SOB.  The folks that get the most upset and verbal at him probably are acting or speaking under false assumptions, and knowing the whole story he probably just laughs about it like some others have said.

Interesting, there's another Mike Love out there in the music industry, releasing country albums in his own name:

I do some part time work at a radio station and we were sent a copy of this guy's album despite the fact that it doesn't really fit our format.  Needless to say, I did a major double take when I glanced over to the side of the console to see a new cd by Mike Love!!

Reggae Mike Love is actually really talented: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU7hZ3smj0g
