Not particularly pertinent, but I never would have guessed the guy was only 45 years old in all of that footage from back in 1983 when the Beach Boys stuff went down. He looked much older. If you had asked me yesterday how old he was in 2023, I would have guessed near 100. He was barely older than the Beach Boys back in 1983, which I guess kind of makes his attitude towards and level of familiarity with "rock" bands back then even more ironic.

After hating punk music a few years earlier I took it as a badge of honour to be finally recognised as ‘The Wrong Element’ for once.  Lock up your daughters…. Evil Evil Evil

I'd like to thank Mr. Watt for reviving interest in the Beach Boys. Saw them in Seattle just a few weeks after this dust up, and Mike said the crowd "looks pretty desirable to me!"
