It all comes from an angry guy with a huge ego. Roll Eyes

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

No doubt about it in the back of my mind and the front for that matter.

 Bruce Johnston was a member of The Beach Boys for Summer Days and Summer Nights, Pet Sounds, Smile/Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Friends, Sunflower and Surf's Up. That is a Hall of Fame run. A constant touring presence 1979 onward; has he ever missed a show in that span? Not many.

  "Disney Girls" is an all-time standard worthy of the great American songbook. Thanks to Bruce, it was introduced by The Beach Boys on one of their very best albums.

 If Ron Wood and Timothy B Schmidt are worthy - and I agree they are - then so is Bruce Johnston. When one factors in his pre-Beach Boys career, his worthiness becomes even more obvious. But wait - Jann Wenner hates surf music.  Angry

Bruce might also be the least "hip" member of The Beach Boys.  I can't imagine Jann Wenner and his merry band of hipsters listening to Disney Girls, unless they did so ironicallly.  

  I agree, Bruce isn't hip at all. But "Disney Girls" will endure for the best of reasons - it's a classic. Given recent events and trending current public perception, history's eventual judgement of Wenner is far less secure. My prediction is that Wenner will be remembered as the antithesis of rock & roll.

 Wenner himself was inducted a few years ago as a nonperformer. He cited Buddy Knox's "Party Doll" as a key record in his discovery of rock & roll but wrongly identified the record as being by Buddy Holly. Complete schmuck.

I could be mistake but I could swear I remember reading somewhere (and some time ago) that although Bruce wasn't inducted at the time of the original ceremony (and post-fast diatribe) that his non-induction was brought up later to the hall's powers-that-be and he was added then. If this is true, I suppose that means he's listed with the others in the exhibit and was also given his own little statue thing from the hall.

I had heard this as well. And I remember some media from The Press Office, back when Bruce moved to Nashville, mentioning he was 'in'.

Wenner could listen to Wild Honey and the organ solo.

He reminds me of that old expression, "He who has the gold, rules."
