All of this vitriol saddens me...I was hoping that Andrew would provide the foreward to Rushton's book!  LOL

The thing is, it's a chicken or the egg scenario. Anyone that would be loco enough to ghost write this 'teenager's diary' would have his work cut out for him. The brave soul that would agree to put these ramblings into coherent English would have to be paid, and I dunno that there's a budget for that.

But it keep it com'in Rushton. It's entertaining and it's free.

Part: 17  "Wha--Ooh"

After I was no longer working for BRIAN WILSON...I was the Marlboro Man...then I went downtown to LOOK FOR A JOB...there were NO JOBS!!!!! So I hung out in front of the drug store. On the second day of my unemployment...I went downtown to LOOK FOR A JOB...and there were NO JOBS!!! So I hung out in front of the drug store. On the third day of my unemployment...

I think this qualifies as entry to the 'angry half dozen'! Welcome Doo Dah.

Rocky - just to clarify...
    - when you see that a thread on this board has been "read" or "viewed" 54,000 times, that DOES NOT mean that 54,000 different people have been reading or viewing this thread.  One person may have "read" or "viewed" this thread 500 times by themselves, for example.  One "view" does not equal one "person".  The 54,000 views for this thread may actually represent a mere handful of people.  So, I wouldn't count on having 54,000 customers clamoring for your book's release.  From this message board, I'd guesstimate that the number of customers willing to fork over money to buy your book is actually closer to 20 or 30, and that number is dropping day-by-day as you insult anyone who doesn't drool on your boots.

You'd think that by now Rocky would have noticed that the viewing figure increases by one every time he, erm, views the thread.

He's not, sorry to say, the first would-be Beach Boys book author to have a meltdown here; perhaps there's something about this place?

I guess it's make or break time soon - do the mods ban him for calling everyone a "wanker" multiple times, and slinging personal insults around all over the place, or make him an honoured guest? Cripes, I wouldn't want to have to make that call! LOL

I personally have now viewed this thread 53,980 times and haven't felt the desire to join and post/discuss the merits of the proposed book once yet.
Until now... d'oh !

Just when Rocky is getting to the point in his chapter of posting less than flattering anecdotes about Mike, the Mike Love SSMB PR team springs into action and suggests he be banned. Why am I not surprised.  

Having lived in England for 2 1/2 years, I certainly heard the word "Wanker" used in the instannce of good natured ribbing more than  once! My personal favorite was bloody sod!

Let's allow the man to post his chapter shall we? I don't believe any animals have been harmed in the making of this thread.

I agree with the sentiments of your last sentence about letting Rocky post his chapter, and have those who want to provide genuine feedback or other positive life coaching suggestions do so.  As I've said before, the name calling started before Rocky got here - he's given as good as he's gotten.

But to be fair - "the Mike Love SSMB PR team"? That's just a wind-up, right? Anyone expressing a, cough, contrary point of view has done so in relation to their concern for The Beach Boys historical legacy, or to serve their own varied emotional connections.   There are no pro-Mike agendas at play.

I suspect he does know and, in the same way that he has someone (Stan? surely not) fluffing his copy for presentation…

Because he's familiar with the man vs. clown site, and because he's mentioned the Mike Love hate but not given any anecdotes about it, my guess is that he's holding that for sales. He's only willing to give us demeaning Brian Wilson anecdotes. But maybe he'll prove me wrong.
Speaking of demeaning Brian Wilson anecdotes, Rocky, did you feel that teaching Brian Wilson etiquette was part of your job as well, or did you just enjoy demeaning him further in front of his peers with your instructions? Can you not imagine, given his humiliating situation, why he was uncomfortable talking to Bob Dylan?
I've heard that your mocking him for not matching your grotesque idea of manliness was a contributor to Brian Wilson messing with his voice.
I believe that rather than "SAVING BRIAN WILSON'S LIFE" you contributed substantially to his complete collapse into vulnerability. I think that you are a major part of why he was thinking life is a cruel joke.
I also believe that you contributed to Dennis Wilson's death. "GET IT??..."
I think that you know you have accomplished nothing of worth, that you project that onto your audience and then treat them with the contempt that you feel for yourself.

You know, against my better judgement I kind of hope this guy gets his book published and goes on a book tour. I know some guys who are fans and really dislike  rushston, and stan for that matter. They see these guys as real villains in the Beach Boy story. These guys that I know are real substantial dudes, worked as laborers all their adult lives. Every time we get together and listen to Beach Boy's music the subject of rushston and stan comes up and they talk about how they would love to run into one or both of these guys. One of these guys almost bought a ticket to Hawaii to seek out rushston, fortunately for everyone, he was talked out of it. They are aware of the rushston's postings and would love to have Wipeout signed by the "author" at one of these so-called book signings.

All of this vitriol saddens me...I was hoping that Andrew would provide the foreward to Rushton's book!  LOL

The thing is, it's a chicken or the egg scenario. Anyone that would be loco enough to ghost write this 'teenager's diary' would have his work cut out for him. The brave soul that would agree to put these ramblings into coherent English would have to be paid, and I dunno that there's a budget for that.

But it keep it com'in Rushton. It's entertaining and it's free.

Part: 17  "Wha--Ooh"

After I was no longer working for BRIAN WILSON...I was the Marlboro Man...then I went downtown to LOOK FOR A JOB...there were NO JOBS!!!!! So I hung out in front of the drug store. On the second day of my unemployment...I went downtown to LOOK FOR A JOB...and there were NO JOBS!!! So I hung out in front of the drug store. On the third day of my unemployment...

 Smiley The "angry half dozen"... now "the angry dozen" is not a mash up in my head...  every body in the business knows "Twelve Angry Men"! Leave it to someone who buried their head in the sand... as soon as I started posting "Wha--Ooh"... something she couldn't find anything to criticize, demean, insult or impugn... to pull her head out of the sand and LASH OUT...as in "MASH UP"... in a feeble attempt to criticize, demean, insult and impugn anything she could possibly "MASH UP" in her head! Good job! But please don't go back to your hiding place... Head in the Sand can be so lonely! Besides with you around lurking... waiting to pounce... the number of reads skyrockets!!! Smiley Smiley Welcome back "MASH UP" Cry Angry Keep your head out of the sand!

stellar thread here. fascinating on so many levels. thanks for joining the fray, Mr. Pamplin. please keep the stories coming!


just an aside, but does anyone else find it adorable that a former athlete/bodyguard/male model called Rocky uses more emoticons than a 12-year old girl? enchanting, really.
