He was losing his hair at the same time he was losing his role as main lead singer.
What function does Mike serve when he's only doing 2-3 leads per lp and doesn't play an instrument? Looking prematurely middle-aged while trying to maintain his front-man status, in what was still a young person's game?
Must of been an insecure period for Mike. Wonder if it will get a mention in his autobiography.
What function did Mike serve? He sang his parts under Brian's direction, just like Carl, Dennis, Al, and Bruce. In his spare time he also wrote the lyrics to "Good Vibrations."

I think it's kinda bizarre that having the same hairline as a lot of the audience - particularly as they age too - is used to stigmatize Mike (there are, after all, plenty of other reasons...). I think it's pretty good that he didn't wear a wig like Simon and Garfunkel, or feel the need to get work done like Springsteen and Petty (who has a better hairline now than he ever did) or sport hair that looks suspiciously plastic, like Elton. Fairly sure Al may have had some work too. Ironically, if he were a young man now, he could sport the shaved look and come across as more 'male' than the rest of the band. He could get some tattoos and piercings and join a nu-metal band. Let's rawk, indeed.
Simon AND Garfunkel shared a wig!!?
Funny thought. "No, I get to wear it tonight!" "Wrong Paul, it's my turn."

I think he meant during that specific period when he seemed to take a less active role and Carl was running the show

Yeah, I meant that from 'Sunflower' thru 'Holland', especially, Mike's role in the band seemed as diminished as his hairline. 2-3 leads and a couple of co-writes per lp would be fine if Mike played an instrument, but if the band had continued playing mostly the new material in its live act, Mike would have been in an awkward position. How can you still be front man if the other guys are singing lead on 3/4 of the songs?

Doubt it as it would tend to go against his testament that the show could not go on without him
. By then, their need for a frontman had withered away much like his hair had done the same.

I see, yes. Clips from that era do show Mike was less the M.C. than he had once been, or would be again.

I don't hear Al's voice going at all in that clip. He sounds pretty damn good to my ears.

In Milkauwee 1970 Mike Love lost his hat, and he angered. he perfomed the imposible task of sing good vibrations with a bald.
