This explains why Mike wouldn't allow Sal Jardine to use the Beach Boys name!

- Al was buried in a cornfield (or cotton field) inwhich crows cried to uncover after being run over by a train. Killed by the mysterious man who ran the iron horse. Also referenced in "like a free train off a track.

- The imposter's name is Pete as exposed in the song Take a Load Off Your Feet sung by Al.

- David Marks real reason for quitting was because he refused to work with Pete at the time.

- Sail On Sailor is in reference to the Beach Boys sailing on without Al on Summer Days/Nights over

- Winds of Change/Santa Anna Winds is in reference to Al's  spirit influencing Pete



Brilliant deductions!

I think Al kicked it in the early 1970s. Because the guy who brilliantly produced Loop de Loop and (unless it's Brian, there are different credits) Susie Cincinnati is not the same guy who co-produced MIU.
'Al' during MIU era could be 'the third Al'. Probably 'the second Al' , who helped the group since 1965, had to leave the group in early 1970s.

In the early 70's, Al went to Cincinnati to undergo one of the first sex change operations ever attempted in the United States, becoming "Susie" and driving a cab around town.  He then wrote a song about his experience and submitted it to his replacement for inclusion on the 15 Big Ones album.

"Looks aren't exactly a plus" - Al didn't make a very attractive woman.  Still a car enthusiast, he enjoyed his groovy little motorcar.

If you look at the cover of 15 Big Ones, "Al" is the only band member looking away, clearly an attempt to hide the physical differences between the real Al (now Susie) and the imposter.

A similarity between Faul and Sal (Pete). Faul wanted to changed the credits of Beatles songs to just Lennon or McCartney if only one of them wrote it. Ringo, Harrison and Yoko voted against him. The Beach Boys voted for Mike to have the right to tour using the name Beach Boys, but not Sal (Pete).

In the cover of Pet Sounds, Al is the only one feeding a pool white animal, symbolizing heaven.

Sal (Pete) when combined is similar to saltpeter, which is rumored to be added to Army food to decrease soldiers' sex drives. One reason Carl supposedly wasn't willing to serve, in addition to his absolutely legit consciensciously non-violent beliefs, was for fear of permanent damage to his reproductive abilities from this adulterant (referenced in Brian's seemingly random "Let Go of Your Libido" asides during the Hang On To Your Ego sessions). "Keep It Clean" faux Jardine adopted the names in private in deference to Carl's ethical stand, and it leaked to conspiracy theorists, who inadvertently went with Sal(tPet)er's program.

"Libueno" was another monicker that faux Al went by for a short period after the release of Sunflower in 1970, taken from the cloying, nonsensical dialect featured in his "At My Window" from that album, which early BB pseudo-historian Ken Barnes dubbed a "bizarre patois, no doubt equally offensive to both man and beast."

On their own these theories appear far fetched, crazy even. Added together though, a worrying picture begins to emerge.  There is no doubt in my mind now that we have uncovered a startling conspiracy. I started this thread as a joke, looks like the joke's on me.

Perhaps some sort of photographic comparisons are needed. With some science.

Maybe the long-suppressed Zeppo Marx film footage could shed some light on this mystery, if he could be located. He was last seen taking a left turn at Albuquerque.

Possible names for Sal (Reggie Dunbar, Rumbo, Pete, Libueno). Somewhere in these names lie a clue.

Help Me Ronda was sung by the real Al, while Rhonda was sung by the fake Al. The extra H means 'has been'. Murry, who loved the original Al, hated Sal.

The original Al, a folky, was a musical genius as they found dozens of recordings called the Cottonfield tapes in 1968. Over the years, the Beach Boys have rerecorded many of the original Al's songs: Lookin At Tomorrow, California Saga, Lady Lynda, Santa Anna Winds, Don't fight the Sea and Postcard were all demos before he died in 65. Sal wrote Island Girl.

'Nuff said. SalPeteLibueno coulsdn't hold a candle to the original Al, which makes me even more surprised that Faul/Billy Shears has been able to so closely approximate Macca's talents through the years. Zeppo and Sal collaborated on "Beach Boys Dirge", a lament for the burgeoning dysfunctionality within the band and a statement of their solidarity in the face of adversity (i.e. Mike), with The Band, just after they finished jamming with Dylan at Big Pink.

Who? You don't tell me it's humor as if hinting I'm slow to get it & you all do. Also, JK said it's "over-the-top".
Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory".
I don't think you're slow, I think you don't have a sense of humor. And I don't think this Al joke is over-the-top at all.

Rumor has it that Zeppo Wilson tied Al to those train tracks. If you listen really carefully to the fade out of "Be With Me", you'll hear a recording of Al screaming, just before the train hit him.

Funnily enough, during that scene Groucho at one point yells out "Tote that barge, lift that bail!" from "Ol' Man River", which the group recorded.

Zeppo Marx had left the trio by that time, but he was visiting the set that day and overheard the line, and described the scene to his namesake/doppelgangerZeppo
Wilson years later, inspiring and prompting Brian to want to work out a vocal arrangement of the Jerome Kern classic.

All Sal-ient info. When At My Window was being composed, the bizarre patois attributed to the birds outside his window were trying to tell the world in their inimitable way that a new iteration was on the scene and to look out because, as Sal/Pete/Libueno said to David Leaf once (true story): "You know, you got it wrong, there are 5 geniuses in this group."
