Re: Mike Love Does Not Deserve to be A Beach Boy

It's so terribly true. I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl. Absolutely amazing. Mike Love showboated the whole thing which got really annoying. I could have had a bit more Pet Sounds or Smile in there. Heroes and Villains is fantastic, but I want me some Surf's Up, Wonderful, etc. It's a shame so much music has gone to a pop sensation, cookie cutter mentality. It's depressing to see musical art slip away. Mike just didn't have it. He had the nasal voice we all loved which fit with the songs...but he's over the top. Brian simply wrote wonderful music and was taken advantage of at every turn.

On the upside, I just found an OC band which has some nice beach boy sound

The Chrononauts

What are you listening to right now? The Chrononauts!

Re: Mike Love Does Not Deserve to be A Beach Boy

This putz has one talent: being born blood-relative to a musical genius whose sense of family led him to choose a relative over recruiting a real lead singer. It's akin to having a pet snake turn on you after giving it the best life he could possibly ever have had.

Love carries on about his lyrical accomplishments. Does anyone really think Brian let Love write any lyrics for any other reason than to include his cousin in the creative process, in which he otherwise offered NOTHING!?!? He didn't really need him to write, he just let him.

"...she goes with me to a blossom world..." ... My God! Love's banal lyrics couldn't bring down some of the greatest compositions in pop music history, but they certainly didn't add anything worthwhile, either. He's tolerable within the framework of the 50th anniversary line-up. Take him away from that, and he's one of the World's first-class jerks.

A load of nonsense.
