Couldn't Make This Up If I Tried....

April 18, 2010, 09:21:16 PM »
My fiancee and I are in Solana Beach, CA this weekend for a little vacation. She 's been bugging me all weekend long to walk across the street to the yoga studio and give it a try. And so wth a slight hangover this morning, I obliged. I stretched and sweated for an hour or so and kept my eye on an older guy in the back of the class, because he looked very familiar. After Beginner's Yoga 101, I told my fiancee that I was almost positve Mike Love was in our class. We waited in the parking lot for him to exit. She asked him his name, he responded "why?" She said she thought he looked familiar. He said "there's a good reason for that, my name is Mike," and proceeded to walk away.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to chat with him for a minute, but I also didn't want to bother him. However, it was neat to relay the story to my father a lifelong Beach Boys fan, who without him, I'm not sure I would have ever even known of Mike Love.
Moral of the story, Mike Love's yoga skills "Need A Mess of Help To Stand Alone."
PS I got a glance at his license plate, and yes it contains the word Love.

Well, considering the word "Love" shows up in all of his solo albums and he's probably nicknamed his prick the "Love seat", why wouldn't he have "Love" on his license plate?

I guess I was kinda star struck. After the fact, my fiancee asked me why we didn't mention to him that at our wedding, we plan to dance to a song he co wrote, "Onlly With You."
I've been kinda kcking myself because I would have LOVEd to pick his brain for a bit over a cup of coffee.
Oh well, Mike Love, Not War.

This is off topic, but a similar story /reaction by a celebrity.
I live in Charlotte, NC, and one day my young brother and my mom are out and about, and my brother swears up and down he sees Ric Flair walking in a parking lot. He tells my mom "MOM, THATS RIC FLAIR!" and she insists "No, that's not him" so she goes over to the guy and says "Sir, will you tell my son that you're not Ric Flair" and the guy goes "I'm Not Ric Flair" and gets in his car. As he drives away, my brother notices the license plate says "Flair1" on it.

I take it you won't be changing your user name to MikeLoveIsMyHero just yet?
P.S. Tell your fiancee she was lucky he didn't try to pick her up..........

Who the hell is Rick Flair?
Sounds like things have not changed over the years. I have been in close proximity to ML several times. The ONLY time he was cordial was when we were in a VIP tent before a concert for those who donated to the Love Foundation, or whatever it was called. He was smiling, talked to my wife, accepted a 2-shot picture from 1968 of Mike and myself. HOWEVER, beware if you catch him by surprise after a show or in an instance such as you described. He DOES NOT LIKE drive-by greetings from anyone but the ladies. And then only after careful scrutiny.

Hell, I'm English and even I know who Ric Flair is. He's a guy who pretends (or used to) to wrestle. WWF, WWE, that kind of fakery.

Ah. Like Giant Haystacks? See, I don't follow any sport - couldn't even tell you who manages the England football team, or name any of the players (other than David Beckham!)

He used to say 'Whoo!" after every sentence, and once had (or staged) a heart attack on live TV.
EDIT: He was one of Hulk Hogan's "enemies" in the late 90s.
(I'll admit it, I went through a brief wrestling fandom phase when I was 12-13.)

I am very thankful that Ric Flair has never registered on my radar until reading this thread. I swear I am not an insufferable elitist. I swear I swear I swear!
I just detest trashy popular culture (not all pop culture by any means) of recent vintage. SO depressing.

...So a few weeks ago my girlfriend and I went to a Monday Night Raw, and I have to say it was awesome...I stopped watching wrestling after the Ultimate Warrior fell out many years ago. A half hour before the events began members of the auduience would be yelling "Whoo!" just like Rick Flair, and then others would follow. It was awesome to see the crowd get into the matches as much as they did knowing that it is all fake...Not only did the crowd go nuts as people climbed the top rope, or grabbed a chair, but it was way more than I've ever seen a crowd get excited at a pro sports event. At a pro event fans can take things too seriously, here it was all in good fun... except when that dude was going to have his hair cut off in the ring...thats when it got serious.

How skewed would you need to be to consider Ric Flair to be of recent vintage? Other trashy pop culture of recent vintages detested: hair bands, Roseanne, and those "where's the beef?" commercials.

Isn't the phrasing 'recent vintage' a somewhat contradiction in terms?

No. Contrary to common usage, it doesn't mean "old." Merriam-Webster:
Quote
1 a (1) : a season's yield of grapes or wine from a vineyard (2) : wine; especially : a usually superior wine all or most of which comes from a single year b : a collection of contemporaneous and similar persons or things : crop
2 : the act or time of harvesting grapes or making wine
3 a : a period of origin or manufacture <a piano of 1845 vintage> b : length of existence : age

I had the exact same experience as you did with Mike Love in 1990.
