Exactly how does one think that kicking out Brian Wilson, no matter how screwed up the guy might be, makes any sort of sense.

As I recall, it's Wilson's name on all those hit songs, not Love's.

I agree, but obviously Mike Love doesn't.  It seems he thinks rather highly of himself, though.

What a riot!  He who owns the name, calls the tunes (and who plays 'em).

This is no less coherent than Ringo kicking John, Paul and George out of whatever that outfit was called. Mike Love must have North Korean roots.

That said, the last Beach Boys album, Brian Wilson on board or not, was a very labored affair.



But think of it that way: Brian Wilson won't have to play Kokomo ever again.

My wife had to sit thru a recent BB show at a conference. She said it was obvious Mike Love was lip-synching and that none of them acted like they even wanted to be there. She didn't want to be there either  :-\

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Dennis Wilson living with Love's daughter at one point?

I think it's ironic that a guy named Love is such a tool.

I saw the reunion lineup on late night TV, thought they were going through the motions. They should have hung it up 40 years ago.

OTOH Mike Love has been touring as the Beach Boys for years without the others, people still pay to see them so they must not care that much.

The Beach Boys lineup has always been a little tenuous (fer Pete's sake even Glen Campbell was in the touring band) but I don't think anyone can argue that Brian Wilson was the heart and soul.  To me Brian IS the Beach Boys regardless of who owns the rights to the name.  And, yeah, Love is a dick.

I guess all that TM didn't have any lasting effect.

It's relieving to see that a band associated with eternal carefree youth and happiness is such a dysfunctional bunch even at oldest age. In that way they indeed never grew up.

Too much happiness is always creepy.
