Rocky Pamplin book about The Beach Boys?

[SurfRiderHawaii]

Oregon River Rider, I am replying... as per your personal  E-mail  request for a GOOD Mike story... informing you that the next segment of "Wha--Ooh" will be not only a "GOOD" Mike story... but it will be a "GREAT" Mike story... "THE MOST REVEALING" ... Mike Story... ANY of YOU have NEVER HEARD!   This ACTUAL OCCURRENCE  will MAKE CLEAR ALL SPECULATION  and CONTROVERSY... about "HOW BRIAN REALLY FEELS ABOUT MIKE"  So hold on to your hat... and BRACE YOURSELVES! There are many WITNESSES to this BACKSTAGE REVELATION... People who were actually in the "VIP" PRIVATE secluded area! There are also TWO other accompanying scenes... "ONE" took place 1/2 hour before the HIGHLY VISIBLE "MAIN EVENT"... and the "2nd"...FOLLOW UP EXPLOSION... occurring minutes "AFTER!"  The latter spectacular "HEAVY WEIGHT EVENT"... is my favorite!!!  

Thanks Rocky. We have had such wonderful stories about Dennis, Carl and Brian so far. Hey, don't forget about Al!

  Segment 6:  "Wha--Ooh"

     When we got back to the hotel, we only had about an hour before we needed to depart for the stadium where the band was appearing that night.  So Brian plopped down on the king-sized bed and took a power nap.  Stan stretched out on the living room sofa and thumbed through the hotel tourist guide magazine while snacking from the complimentary fruit basket.  I called Marilyn to give her a quick update without mentioning anything about Ralph.
     A very strange thing happened that evening.  When the three of us walked out of the hotel, there happened to be a parade going by right in front of the lobby, with this colorfully dressed clown juggling three red balls in the air, the same size and color as his nose, bopping up and down as he danced along.  Out of the blue, Brian bolted right into the thick of things and started flailing away at the totally unsuspecting clown.  Caught completely off guard, it took Stan and me a second or two to react and push our way into the crowd to grab Brian.  We pulled him off the poor clown, who was frantically covering up his head to fend off Brian's flurry of punches.  The thing that was so startling and shocking about the attack is that Brian is ordinarily a totally nonviolent, passive person.  He's never been in a fist fight in his life.
     When asked by Stan, "What the hell was that?!"  Brian said, "I thought it was Mike."
     A bewildered Stan asked, "My brother Mike?  You thought that clown was Mike?"
     "Yeah," Brian confirmed.  "He looked like Mike to me!"
     Later, the three of us had to go around the corner because of the parade activity to get to the limo for the ride to the concert.  Stan and I were pretty much in shock by this violent lashing out by Brian, especially because he said he thought the clown looked like Mike.  No one talked much on the ride, which wasn't surprising considering the implications of Brian's bizarre hostile act.  It was an introspective, contemplative ride.  Brian appeared to have settled down by the time we got to the venue.  As we exited the limo and entered the backstage talent entrance, which was roped off and guarded, we started walking toward the hospitality section where the other Beach Boys were scattered about schmoozing with various VIPs and so forth, "holding court," as they say in show business.
     But just when Stephen stepped up to greet Brian with a handshake, Brian uncharacteristically hugged Stephen.  Everyone noticed this atypical gesture and turned their heads.  A few cast curious looks.  Brian then suddenly broke off from the unusual show of affection and once again bolted, this time directly behind Stephen towards Mike, who was standing with his back against a wall, and launched a ferocious surfer stomp kick into Mike's groin! Having just a split second to react to the charging bull-like Brian, Mike luckily avoided a direct hit to his testicles.  But there definitely was considerable pain inflicted, as evidenced by the grimace on his face and his now very pale complexion.  Stan, who had already shaken hands with Stephen and was about to do the same with Mike, grabbed Brian before he could get off another kick.
     Completely shocked, I put my arm around Brian and gently turned him around, saying, "Easy, big fella."  Still stunned, I asked, "What's going on, Brian?  Talk to me."
     Brian said, "I'm cool.  I'm cool now.  That's just something I should have done a long time ago!"
     Mike, unsurprisingly, was in a state of shock.  He was embarrassed at the spectacle created by his well-known nonviolent peacenik first cousin in front of dozens of stunned-into-silence onlookers.  Brian was nonchalant about the whole thing and carried on a very casual conversation with Stephen about, of all things, surfing!
     "So you really like to surf, Steve?"
     Stephen smiled and said, "Brian, I love to surf."
     Brian asked, "Can I go with you sometime?  I'll probably fall on my ass, but so what?  We'll have fun!"
     Stephen laughed knowingly and said, "Everyone falls on their ass, that's part of the fun.  You wipeout... and you get back up again.  Just like in life!"
     Brian said, "Yeah, that's right.  But do you think I can learn to surf, Steve?"
     Stephen winked at Brian and proclaimed: "Brian, you were a football player.  I have no doubt you can become a surfer!"

Brian's lucky the clown in the parade didn't deck him or press charges.  That incident is further proof Brian should have been placed in a mental hospital until his condition was under control.

    Great story, Rocky, especially Brian tagging the clown as a  myKe luHv look alike. I've always hoped that Brian would somehow get the chance to clean luHv's clock, especially in the nuts, and although you say he missed his target, he still delivered some much deserved pain to the luHvster. Fantastic, man, you made my day.

Hey, Rock, who in your opinion was the better lothario, Dennis or Larry from Three's Company?

Vizzini-Rocky: [...] you're no match for my brains.
Man in Black-AGD: You're that smart?
Vizzini-Rocky: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black-AGD: Yes.
Vizzini-Rocky: Morons.

In 24 hours this has gone from my favorite thread to my least.
Has anyone ever read Asterix and the Roman Agent?

[Theydon Bois]

It does strike me as odd that someone as famous and recognisable as Brian Wilson could do something as eye-catching and conspicuous as PUNCHING A CLOWN in public, in broad daylight and with an actual parade going on (and hence innumerable potential witnesses), and that this would be the first that anyone would have heard of the story.

My thought.

As has been said, you couldn't make it up, could you ?

Er... could you ?
