Mike love is a piece of sh*t ...

I have a question for the moderators. I didn't know whether to move the above quote ^ to the Ask The Moderators thread or the Thread For Arguments With Or About Moderation, so I'll ask the question here. What is the moderators' stance on calling a Beach Boy "a piece of sh*t"?

I'd say as long as it's myKe luHv, it's kind of accepted by the masses.  Wink

Funny how a critique of a Brian Wilson song can be met with a half page long rebuttal, sometimes filled with claims that criticizing a song is a show of disrespect.   

Yet, calling Mike Love a piece of sh*t is ignored.

It's just a lull in the proceedings. Mark my words. Cool Guy

I apologise to you all for that remark. In my mind it is unfortunately true and I find it so sad that the music I love so much is connected with such a loathsome individual, even though he had a great voice and was very important in the band's story. I wish my opinion of him was better, but the man continues to promote an image which I cannot dissociate from plain contemptibility.

I'm sorry for riling this board though. It'd better if I held my tongue on the matter.

Seems like the release date for Mikes new book has (with no surprise) been pushed back. As always Amazon only have this to say for now; "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

*EDIT

However, must only be the UK as the US says 13th Sept....  Roll Eyes

While publishing delays are common, I still see September 13 as the date on Amazon, for both physical and digital versions for the US (and Amazon UK shows Sep. 13 still for the physical book and Aug. 30 for the digital version). 

Having ordered way too much stuff (including pre-orders) on Amazon, I've found that they'll often send out e-mails with changing info about estimated delivery dates. I think it has more to do with their distributor and is sometimes simply a case of not knowing if they'll get the book early enough to be able to get it delivered by the release date. So the date *may* still be Sep. 13.

On the other hand, sometimes the release date *does* change and Amazon, instead of actually just changing the "release date" on their page, simply shifts the "availability" of the item. So I've seen cases where say, you'd hit Sep. 13 and the book is delayed until Oct. 13, but instead of simply changing *that* date, they keep the Sep. 13 date and change availability to "ships in 2 to 4 weeks."

Dunno if it was temp art or fan art or what, but Amazon UK has a separate listing for another version of Mike's book (with a Sep. 1 release date), which only has Mike's name (no mention of Hirsch) with different cover art:
