the whole reaction to him getting elected is blown WAY out of proportion.. people are just being way TOO overemotional over it
LGBT, Muslim, and other minority folks might understandably not share that same opinion (nor the opinion of being anything but outraged with any artist playing the inauguration).
Basically, I think people have to turn off the empathy part of their brain to not fully understand that, or to claim those folks are being overly-emotional about it. Would love to know what your thoughts might be on that?

There are too many losers to be left strewn along the path Trump claims will make America "great" again. Damaging links in the chain will only make America [and the 'west'] weak again. History. We've been there/done that. We're only one goose step short of the most ardent Trump supporters wearing brown friggin' shirts.
Economic realities are the result of the last go-round for the republicans...and the subsequent spill-over. To recover completely from Bush's virtual depression in 6 1/2 years is asking WAY too much. And to expect it to be instantly fixable was pure folly. The hole dug now to accommodate this blustering buffoon will be hard to fill-in. It would be just like Mike to get more 'revenge' by performing at an official event for the rotting tangerine from Hades.

The vast majority of people consider The Beach Boys as white bread, conservative, and out-of-touch with modern-day standards of political correctness as any band can be. As much as I loathe the idea of a President Tic-Tac administration, I believe the Beach Boys participation in a dance held in his honor would mean nothing and change nothing. I would even daresay that the large majority of people in a typical Beach Boys audience nowadays are Trump supporters.

I seriously doubt that playing Trumps inauguration would have much effect on the band. I mean, I doubt it would stop them from selling out 1500 seat performing arts centers like they have been for the last 20 years. Its not like they are super hip these days and could be ruined by something like this anymore...Maybe if it were 1964. They're not Taylor Swift/Katy Perry. Brian still has somewhat of a "cool" factor that i could see being effected by playing for Trump, but cant see him playing...It's not like he's going to get back together with Mike for Trump like Fleetwood Mac did for Clinton.
Btw, Everyone says Mike is a Republican, but did anyone read in his book how he mentions that people think he's a Republican but he's into environmental causes and he's anti-war and some other stuff which is the opposite of Republican views and he says something like "no one really knows where I'm at politically"? Does anyone think he actually might be a liberal/centrist? Or just saying that to not alienate people on the left?

I don't think Mike is a liberal, but from reading his book, and listening to some of the songs he wrote about the environment, I'd say he's more of a moderate conservative.

The fact is that there is plenty of room to take what are considered liberal or conservative positions on a host of issues because they are far more partisan than ideological. To consolidate them and assume you're on one side or the other up and down the platform isn't real life unless you're too easily swayed by the parties and their media.

This is true. I tend to vote Republican more times than not, but quite a few of my beliefs (wait for the big surprise) tend to be a lean a little more to the liberal side.

Last relevant comment so we don't get Sandboxed, but it's also key to note that beliefs or positions themselves often aren't the politically ideology part, but rather whether, how, or how much government should be involved.

Getting us back on topic. I do have a question.
This is for anybody on here who supports and buys tickets for the Mike and Bruce Beach Boys.
If they do decide to play Donald Trump's inauguration next month, would that affect whether or not you buy tickets for one of their shows in 2017?

It has been generally on topic and the topic, even if hypothetical (which I believe it is), is legitimate. From what I've noticed it's mostly polite (excluding some of mine), despite a currently hot, divisive topic. I say leave it alone and those not interested can quite easily skip the thread.

I actually had a similar thought this morning and wondered if they would even be available around January 20 (and the days leading up to the inauguration). I checked the tour page and it appears they don't have any January dates until January 21, when they will be a mere 3 hours away in Emporia, VA. I remember they were similarly close to Cleveland around the time of the RNC convention, but didn't play at the convention despite some media reports.
So, let the speculation continue.

Ugh. That might mean at the very least, they'll be playing some sort of "celebration" gig in the vicinity, even if not under an official Trump-sponsored capacity. Barf barf barf.

There shouldn't even be an inauguration. More of a public mourning.

Does Mike really want to get asked what he thinks of LGBT and other minority folks who are going to get their rights stripped away? Like if he gives two sh*ts about it?
Seriously, Mike would in all likelihood - at some point - rightfully get asked that by an interviewer, or by a fan with a recording device, at some point, if he performs for Trump. That performance will not go unnoticed. It will stick with him. And he will either duck the question (much like Trump supporters in this thread do), or give an excruciatingly ridiculous response that might just go viral, because there's no way to answer that question without saying that those rights don't matter to him. Do we want The BBs to be associated with friggin' Pence?? It's a bad, bad idea for Mike to even consider.

Just for starters... Pence's record of opposition to gay rights as a member of Congress, is sure to be a threat to any member of the LGBT community. That should outrage anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Trump appointing Bannon, who freely publicly refers to lesbians as "dykes"? I could give many, many more examples...
Care to defend those I just mentioned?
Mike Love should not rope the brand name in to be associated with that garbage.
