I suppose Trump has to fill the time somehow. They are having trouble getting any "big name " Republicans to speak at their convention . I guess the're also having Mike Tyson , that in itself should speak volumes about the difficulty in getting quality guest speakers. Maybe Trump can get them to sing the sleazy version of "Hey Little Tomboy."

The article has very little information. "Musical acts booked by third-party groups include the Beach Boys, Journey, Bret Michaels, Rick Springfield, Rascal Flatts, Martina McBride and The Band Perry." There are often many corporate-type parties surrounding these National Conventions. I guess we will have to wait and see if they are a part of it in an official capacity.

The Beach Boys will be in Toledo on July 21 and have an open date on July 20...

However highly unlikely it might be, one good thing that might come of a scenario like this is that the other BRI shareholders could finally move to exert some modicum of control over how the live band name is used, beyond simply collecting the licensing fee.

Heh, heh. myKe luHv and His Band of Imposters will, I assume, play any venue if the bucks are right. That and all the exposure the attention starved lovester can round up. Sounds like a big, bad load of publicity that will put another nail in his already lousy legacy.

I really, really hope you are correct.

The Beach Boys brand name does not need Trump to be associated with it.

Yep. Yet I don't think they'd *just* be doing it for money or exposure. I have little doubt that both Mike and Bruce would be legitimately enthusiastic about playing in support of Trump.

Shaking my head.

This would be horrible. Really hoping it does not happen!

When is Mike wearing a red trump hat on stage? Roll Eyes

I don't follow sports, but are these really "major sports figures"? The musical acts seem to be third-tier as well. The Beach Boys? Really?

To be fair, the Mike and Bruce Beach Boys are not a huge get.

Bleccch! Sometimes they really make it hard to be a Beach Boys fan. I wonder if Donald Trump's "little hands" ever "shadowed on the ceiling"?

I sure hope that is true. People are going to read that the Beach Boys are playing for Trump, and think that means that Brian and Al endorse Trump along with the Baseball Cap Twins. Carl must be turning over in his grave.

This does bring up an interesting point about the touring licence and the responsibilities that go with it. I wonder if any thought was given about this possible scenario. ie hypothetically the NRA or tobacco industry (or worse) hiring the group for a private gig. Were any safeguards or a veto option included? Man it would be interesting to read a copy of that licence.

Well, I hate to throw a wet blanket on the growing outrage, but...

"The organizations hosting the concerts are Concerts for a Cause, the Creative Coalition, the Cleveland Clinic's educational foundation, law firm Jones Day’s foundation and others. A representative of The Beach Boys, one of the bands that organizers said on Tuesday would perform in Cleveland during the convention, issued a denial to Bloomberg Politics on Wednesday."

I understand the rush to judgment and everyone overlooking my level-headed first reply, but here is some more information on the Creative Coalition's Benefit Gala at both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions:

http://thecreativecoalition.org/2016/06/23/the-creative-coalitions-benefit-gala-featuring-martina-mcbride/
http://thecreativecoalition.org/2016/06/08/the-creative-coalitions-benefit-galas-in-cleveland-philadelphia/

And, again, the original article explicitly said that the acts were hired by a third party (i.e. not the Trump campaign or the RNC).

Glad to hear. My guess, based on nothing more than a hunch: this new denial is because other members of BRI stepped in quickly and said they would not approve of this show, a gig that Mike likely previously said yes to. I can't think that the other BRI members would *want* the brand name being attached to such a controversial figure.

Does Mike still have any side group going on? He may do this solo?

I believe Mike does some private shows on the side with a few guys from his group and minus Bruce. But I can't be exactly sure if he still does this or this was a past thing.

Random question..while it sounds like theres some doubt as to whether him playing for trump is true, i dont doubt that mike would be happy to play for him since A) he's a republican last i checked and B) he will pretty much play anywhere for the right bucks. Random question for speculation:

Do you think Mike would play for hillary/bernie/elisabeth warren/etc or any other democratic politician if he was asked? or would he draw the line if he didnt agree with someones politics?
