Al Jardine has been sporting a nice hairpiece for a couple of years now...

Ya and Mike has too.  His hairpiece is called 'the baseball hat'.  I'd like to ask Mike to cover this in his book... Like why he thinks no one would have noticed that he's been increasingly follicle free for about 50 years.

If it's just a 'look'...it doesn't and almost never has worked.  That various headware?  Pretty much goofy.  And what's with Bruce sporting the same 'wig'?  Does this create a demand for 'wig' sales at the gigs?

Will they consider renaming the group The Bald Boys if they ever again 'unite'?  Answers to be pondered.

A suggestion too...to rename the book.  Call it...  'I Shaved My Back For This?' [and so did Bruce]

It's bizarre how much people care about Mike's lack of hair and decision to wear a hat.

The point actually is...I DON'T care one iota about his lack of hair.  I doubt that very many people do.  THEREFORE the decision to wear headwear almost w/o exception for 50 years seems needless, pointless and foolish.  He ain't kiddin' a soul.  What it does do is it suggests that Mike has something to hide...and he's not above hiding it.  [whatever that may be]

Mike's hats have been a trademark look of his for years. Also there are plenty of photos of him with his bare head on display, esp as he's gotten older so I'm guessing he's comfortable with his baldness. It's not like he's gone with the stupid velcro plugs look that Bruce Springsteen, Gene Simmons and other old guys have. Plus David Marks donned a cap the second he went bald and nobody seems to give him grief over it.

Lots of bald guys wear hats. They know they're not fooling people into thinking they have hair. It's just a look.

Hey, Brian used to dye his hair.

Guy in his mid-70s is bald. Who cares?

Now, a pop group frontman in his early 20s, expected to project sex appeal or, failing that, at least appear youthful enough to sell records and concert tickets to a teenage audience, gradually losing his hair -- there's some potential drama.

Agreed. We all know he's bald. I don't care. I'm sure nobody else really does. But HE does. Since his hat has more or less been fused to his head to compensate. That's what makes it sad/funny, that he's so obviously ashamed of it himself. And I don't buy this apologism about it being his "trademark." If it is, it's a lame trademark.

So ashamed that he puts photos of himself on fb without it? No doubt he was very bummed about losing his hair when he was very young (who wouldn't be?) but I don't think he's losing any sleep over it now he's in his 70s.

When the band appeared at a Dodgers game back in 2012 to sing the national anthem, Mike took his hat off. He's not ashamed.

Al is not wearing a hairpiece.  He had a hair transplant that gave him a small amount of hair to style on the front of his head.

The cap is part of the way he presents himself as a performer. He figures no one wants to see his gleaming hairless pate while he sings 'I Get Around', and he's probably right.

When you're bald every good doctor will tell you to guard your head from solar radiation.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

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.

Nothing against Bruce but I hope I'm not the only poster who laughed out loud when they read this. Grin

  A bit much, I think. Hats have been a Love trademark since 1966, but he does expose his unadorned head to the world at times.

  Perhaps, yes. During "Cotton Fields" in Cleveland June 2012, Al pointed to Mike when he sang the line "Came upon a nice old man/He had a hat on".

Or maybe Mike prefers the way he looks with a hat on.

I've still got my hair but I often wear a baseball cap to shade my eyes or cover my hair while cooking and numerous other non-baseball or shame related reasons during the day and night.
