Thanks Emily, it's certainly a start. I'm beginning to think you might be able to count Mike Love's fans on the fingers and toes of a triple amputee.
This is because I delved into the Mike Love fan page - which was different than the one I saw a year or so ago - and found the forum.
You will have more luck finding his fans if you go to his Facebook page. It's the simple case of they flock to where it's updated the most, and his FB page is the most updated of all the BBs (Usually with either photos of his most recent concert, or a TBT). Every post has replies about how great such and such show was, or ravings about how talented he is.

Good luck trying to find THAT jacket... Lucky there was no flea epidemic.
I have a hugely insignificant question, but it has well and truly bugged me for ages, and although I've touched in on it before, but I didn't really feel like I got a satisfying answer. (When you are left still wondering, it can't be a satisfying answer.)
This is a genuine set of questions.
1. Does Mike Love have fans? Everywhere you look on this internet, it's the same thing. It seems like nobody in the world loves the Lovester.
2. What kind of person is a Mike Love fan? (If such a species exists.)
3. When I went to the Mike Love fan page, - and was blasted out of my seat by high volume unsolicited music - it appeared that this site was directed out to a
large number
of fans. I was driven out by his solo work starting up along with a hidden stop button, so I did not delve far enough in to see if he has his own community.
4. Does he?
5. If he does, what the heck do they talk about?
Thanks in advance. I'll just wait outside this cave for a reply.
(I really love these emoticons.)
Careful Bella, ML is like a musical mafia Don. He'll put one of his board hitmen on you (Andy/ Cam/...). Watch your back, and in box.

I'm in this segment. Although, my favorite is Carl. They all are/were supremely talented and have their flaws to varying degrees. If Mike & Bruce or Brian & Al are within a 2-3 hour drive, I'm doing my best to go...it's not going to last much longer.

In That Same Song, who are singing the "Same song" that Brian responds "Oh yeah" to (starts at 1:48). Al, Carl and Brian?

-kay - back to that furry jacket.
I'm quite convinced that Brian and Mick Jagger were wearing the same parka in 1964. Not the exact same one, of course, but the same design/brand.
You've seen Brian's; Mick's can be seen in the top left of the photos I posted before and here:
Same contrast of color and fluff vs. sleek on hood vs. body; same length; same black toggles 3 or so inches in from the zipper; same spotted body...
so, if anyone here has Mick's number, maybe a quick txt will resolve the question of who the designer is.

Has anyone found a way to get just the audio from the L&M/soundtrack (not included on the actual soundtrack): the tracks Headphones, Deep End, and Baby No Morph?

Okay, I return with my findings...
It appears that there are Mike Love fans out there, and let me clarify that I meant specifically Mike Love fans, not Brian Wilson and Beach Boys fans.
They exist, and they very quietly support him, because to stick your neck out as a ML fan (specifically, that is, if I can just clarify that one more time) is to risk getting it brutally torn off and shoved somewhere reasonably difficult to extract, unless you have a history of work experience in certain sectors of the airport.
Personally, I do not dislike the guy, and I feel that without him the magic would not have occurred. His lead is awesome, and he is a huge part of my favourite sound in the world, those boys getting together.
Forgive me if any Mike bashing was insinuated.
Oh yeah, that long dead forum was crap anyway, so I don't regret taking the piss out of that.
Back in the cave....

Rolling Stone has all of theirs archived on their website. Just search the album name and it should pop up.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

Odd that no one has got round to answering this----or at least having a stab at it. All I can discover is that Marilyn Wilson figures prominently at the end. [

I had completely forgotten that myself! I was watching that clip months ago and paused right when Al made that face.

You are correct, Emily. I was born in 1980, so I was a big Full House fan. That episode was the first time I ever saw what The Beach Boys looked like.
Watching that episode in 2015 (it pops up quite a bit on TV Land), one can't help but laugh. Especially Al's great line when he finds out DJ's not going to the concert, "Bon Jovi in town?"
Or Brian when little Michelle said "Ko Ko Mo" - "A REQUEST!!!!!"
Or The Beach Boys Huddle.
So many laughs. So many memories.

I guess Al had a premonition 24 years early about Bon Jovi one day cowriting a BB song (and a fantastic one, at that). That Jardine is a regular Nostradamus.

I keep forgetting JBJ co-wrote Summer's Gone. It's especially impressive considering the fact that Bon Jovi hasn't released anything I've liked since 2000. (Yes, I'm a fan of the 80s / early 90s stuff).

While wandering around the internet looking for random crumbs about the Beach Boys, I came across Dale Reed, who says he built Dennis' Cobra and he had to go to Brian for the money. No more info in this thread, but he was apparently not professionally building cars at that time, so maybe he knew the Wilsons?
Has anyone met him, talked to him?

It was a 289 and we made a 429 for him.
We did it a year before ford came out with the 429 a friend of ours, Doan Spenser, was thick with Ford and he got a pair of blank 429 castings and machined them.
He also changed the spark plug angle 4 degrees which gave us 80 more HP.
He never got beat at the drags by a car in his class.
When he got on drugs he traded it in to Hollywood Sports Car for a motor cycle before he went and killed himself with an overdose.
I have no idea what happened to it from there except I do know that Shelby rented it for $1,000/day for 2 weeks to try and find out how we were blowing him off so bad.
