There was also the collaboration with Status Quo on Funx3. They did UK tv appearances with Brian. I couldn't believe he was there! This was all around the same time as Stars and Stripes so I guess he really was back with the band.

Do you have proof to back up your libelous statement?
Of course there's no proof. It's typical, unfortunately.

Yeah, looking at the post history it seems to be a trend.
Cue Queen's 1979 hit song now...

And yes, there were people, including some in Brian's own family, who were calling Melinda "Mel-Landy". Ginger Blake even said the life that Brian was living with Melinda was "the surrendered Brian Wilson" that had grown complacent. Mike Love told Don Was, which Was repeated, that if Brian was off his meds, the would write better songs. So everyone has an angle. Its so sad, but that is how business runs. Look at the history of CCR and you will see brother against brother. It happens.
And consider those angles too. After a divorce, actually it would have been over a decade at least after the divorce, can anyone reasonably expect a friend or relative to have good things to say about a new relationship? Feelings are still raw, the negativity of the whole thing still colors opinions and forms biases against people, it's a part of everyday life and something that happens in nearly every case of divorce or even a relationship gone bad for whatever reason. It's not positive, and that comes out. In this case, consider too how much contact she actually had with Brian in the intervening years. Weigh the words and opinions with that.
As for the Mike comment, what screams out to me at least is look at the conditions being set up or implied. So Brian was writing with Mike, he was writing for the Beach Boys, they had Don Was ready to pull it together in the studio, they even had a handful of original songs and collaborations that some of these participants seemed excited about...
But Mike thought they weren't good enough, or he could be doing better songs? I won't even get into the reason he gave, but look at that kind of opinion at face value. They wanted Brian back working with the band, he was willing and able and did. Mike wanted to write songs with Brian, they wrote songs together as soon as the lawsuit cleared up. They wanted material for a new album, if you believe Don Was (and I have no reason not to) they had a supply of up to 40 songs to choose from, and we have a few that we can hear were worked up in the studio. Carl vetoed Soul Searchin, that we know. But how about the other 3 dozen on hand and whatever Mike and Brian were writing together at that time?
But now it's an issue of quality? So it wasn't Brian's participation, it wasn't his willingness to participate, it didn't involve him wanting to work with the Beach Boys on new music because he got involved in doing just that...
...instead it's the quality of the songs and songwriting? Is it just me that sees more than a few issues revolving around that? For one, it paints a different picture to say the songs Brian and Mike were writing didn't meet whatever standards of "quality" seem to have been in place than it does to find other reasons why they didn't write together much after that. Not to mention the fact the Beach Boys basically were in ruins after 1998 in several ways.

If anyone believes that the Mike vs. Brian angle is a uniquely complicated knot, step into the world of the Kinks!

The bulk of the problem resides with those who don't know how much they don't know.
Somewhere in the bizarro world, where up is down and dogs sleep with cats, there is a Kink-centric Andrew G. Doe type. A man who has devoted decades of his life to investigating Kinksonian miutiae. This man is privy to
insider information,
and he will guard it...with his honor, with his life. And he will lord over you with said information. Yay verily.

I've got a half-sister and a uncle that are fighting over about $1000 worth of life insurance proceeds right now. They both think they're right. The rest of us think they're crazy.
At least your family's fighting. There's a lot of ignoring going on in mine. Most of my paternal side are racist Bible-beaters. My late father seems to have been the one notable exception since he married my dark skinned Isan mother. The entire immediate family is treated like the black sheep.
