I like Al's "Austin Powers" look from the late 60's.

Wasn't there another time where Mike gave a shout out to the message board?  I think someone told him that he should bring back the long beard and the Maharishi robes and he responded to that.

Sounds like something I would say. Does someone have a link for this topic? If I did type it, I never saw his response. Even if someone else asked him, I want to know what he said!

Apparently we now have both Mike and Brian reading this board. They could write a new song exchanging ideas via PM.

I think Mike would insist on using the room. Grin

They can use The Sandbox area…

We can even move a virtual piano in there. Ooops.. Wrong room?

This place used to be like a fun dive bar on Hawthorne Ave. Now it's a dive bar with secret peepholes and recording devices.

Yup... Mike says on his FB page that he cruises Smiley Smile. Big secret.  Grin

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.

These legendary musicians just can't get enough of my writing. It's almost tedious by this point. I know, Brian! I know, Mike! I'm really fascinating!

I'm happy to say that I'm the third poster. My username is Magic Transistor Radio.

Not the real Magic Transistor Radio though! Maybe I will open up another account and go by Bubbly Waves. Then we can really get confused!
wait a minute you're not the actual Transistor radio from the fairy tale posting "officially" on here?

I think its safe to say that the majority of the Mike Love negativity on here is a mixture of fair criticism and ribbing. I don't think many diehards have genuine malice towards him. At least I hope not, given he's spent the vast majority of his life on sharing the music we all love.

I'm not taking back my post about 'Wrinkles' though.  Wink

I would agree. We criticize all of them for the faults but recognize that they're human and the pros outweigh the cons. I don't think anyone here genuinely hates Mike.

Here are my SMiLE Mixes. All are 2 suite, but still vastly different in several ways. Be on the lookout for another, someday.

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".

I was at the Sydney Beach Boys 50th Anniversary concert and I can tell you Mike still can carry a show up front. That was a professional show put on by outstanding entertainers who would put people half their age to shame.

Pretty much a waste of time and energy isn't it?  And very likely NOT any good for their own health either.  The Beach Boys have ALWAYS been the sum of their parts.  And the warantee is running out.  Hate THAT.

You'd have to seriously consider the possibility that having kept it up for several years here and on other media platforms, there's a degree of mental instability. It's a well-known fact that I hate Morrissey with a passion (his very image churns my stomach), but not enough to feel impelled to make that distaste - hatred, actually - the central tenet of my cyber presence, and to inform roughly 90% of my posts.
