"A little peek behind the scenes with Wink Martindale today answering your questions...stay tuned. ML"

"You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Vibe Room."

Good one!

Nevertheless, A LOT of effort seems to have gone into putting this together. Kudos to Mike. And it's true... He could have had Jacquie or Ambha type for him. And yet he's answering verbally. Good for him.

[Dancing Bear]

Mike's filthy rich. He seems to be having fun with all this, so it's good for everyone. Except for those who hate him.

With all the effort he's putting into this, there is a palpable chance that he'll pick up some interesting questions to answer. Like mine.

I don't know which looks more natural in the photo--Mike's hat, or Wink's hair?

[ontor pertawst]

If only we could find out the answer verbally.

[Lowbacca]

I bet that after all these overblown shenanigans we still won't know what Mike's favourite pizza is! But who knows what kind of interesting tidbits might be spilled.. Maybe Mike has a movie coming out next year.

All jokes aside though, I'm psyched to see this. Mike never fails to entertain.

[Micha]

Stupid hair color IMHO, but each his own. I appreciate Mike doesn't dye his hair, even though he doesn't need a lot of tinting lotion...

[Cam Mott]

I suppose Wink is a radio legend from the band's heyday.  I should actually hear it before jumping to conclusions.

[elnombre]

Not that it matters, but when did the goatee come back? I was just thinking the other day that he looks better with one.

Yes, I actually sat for a moment and contemplated Mike's facial hair.

[Jim V.]

This has to be the goofiest thing I have ever seen. Maybe there's a long game being played here and this is part of a DVD or something. But if not, having Wink Martindale (who?!) and this huge camera set up shows that Mike is seriously in la-la land. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I find it hilarious he's probably wasted money on a camera crew and that old man and all this for a "Q and A" that probably will reach 37 people.

[elnombre]

But so what? Yeah, barring some controversy for the wider music press to hone in on it'll probably only be diehards who watch it, but hey Mike has the money and I doubt he's unaware of the fact that this is basically going to be something for the obsessives to chew over.

Not to mention the BBs played on his TV show  April 28, 1962   - The Wink Martindale Dance Party (local TV);  be nice for someone to ask Wink if he has tape of the show saved somewhere...

[Zesterz]

Wink Martindale, apart from being a DJ and presenter, had a hit with "Deck of cards". Long career, he knows the background to what he is dealing with

[ontor pertawst]

Also, it's said that when the full moon is out... he assumes the form of a monstrous jackal-faced fiend and drips green bile all over the carpet. Hope Mike didn't have him stay over that night, that rug really ties the room together.

He's also THE penultimate game show host. Kinda like Brucie in the UK.

Fun fact, I won a contest from Wink on Facebook and the prize was him recording a voicemail message for my cell. One of my favorite possesions.

Wink Martindale was there from the very beginning of rock and roll. As others have pointed out, if you're an "early days of R'n'R" buff, having Wink do the Q&A is actually pretty awesome. Here he is interviewing Elvis back in 1956:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1LBKg3P4iI

I hope you don't mind me saying, "Penultimate" means second to last.

His Wiki bio says he has a Youtube channel.

Yup, I'd go with 'quintessential'

The rug under Wink's feet...or on his head?.......

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

These guys go out of their way to take time to do something nice for the fans and all you can do it poke fun.  You stay classy, San Diego.

[ontor pertawst]

Oh, I'm super glad and appreciative Mike Love is doing this! We're all going to have a LOT of fun with this,  whether it involves poking or otherwise. It was just... incredibly surreal clicking on this thread and seeing those pics... "Wait... Wink Martindale? Why?" then zooming closer to examine their expressions. I thought I was still asleep or something. Maybe it was undercooked potato, a spot of bad mustard...

He should continue doing these and take opportunities to rant about whatever gets his goat that week, from his beautifully rugged undisclosed location... call it "Live from the Vibe Room." Teach us all about TM, assiduously avoid mentioning Al Jardine, invite special guests who you thought were long dead... it'd be a streaming video treat! Maybe Foskett could be his Ed McMahon or something.
