haha Mike will probably sue over this
I'm sure he will, but MSN got it right only it's a damn shame that Brian left the touring band so early. I know, I know he didn't like touring, but seeing the man who wrote it all and did everything else but the kitchen sink was incredible. And to hear that voice that's never been duplicated by anyone was amazing. He was the best front man the group never had. Mike Love? Totally embarrassing.
Brian was the leader of the band, but he was never the frontman. That role belonged to Mike from day one. When Brian stopped touring, Carl became the onstage leader. Two different things. You might say that Carl was the musical director, while Mike was the director of S & M.
