Re: The Thread to Ruminate About Mike Love's Rape Van
I agree on Carl's vocal. I wonder if it had something to do with singing in Spanish - maybe just lacking the confidence to really nail it like he does on the English version? I had heard about the Spanish version for several years...but only recently bothered to listen to it and I was pleasantly surprised to hear how prominent Brian sounded on the chorus. He also sounds quite good. I know he used a vocal coach during the recording of the Brian Wilson LP which would have been happening around the same time as Kokomo.matedog wrote: ↑29 Nov 2018, 2:38pmWow, Brian is all up in that. Carl's vocals don't sound as strong, he's doing his breathy soft sound he sadly employed on SiP.WestwayKid wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 6:10pmFlex wrote: ↑28 Nov 2018, 5:40pmI had no idea there was a Spanish version of the song. I'll have to check it out.
Also, I was reading the hype description for the Mike Love Boys Beaver Creek appearance and fucking LOL:Love’s role as the band’s front man sometimes overshadows his stature as one of rock’s foremost songwriters.
It should be pointed out that Kokomo lost the Grammy for best song written for a television show or movie to none other than Phil Collins...who won for the track Two Hearts from the film Buster!

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Thread to Ruminate About Mike Love's Rape Van
From David Hepworth's book on rock music in 1971*:
* Unless you're just into a bunch of rock vignettes, there's nothing to recommend about the book. He claims 1971 is rock's landmark year, but doesn't say or demonstrate why, and that it's the year that pop became rock, again not explaining what he means by the two terms or how this happens.Mike Love, the singer and most reliable source of embarrassment, led them into a tour with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi just as his serene stock was beginning to tank.

I'd love to see some footage/hear some audio of that tour. I've read about it and sounds like a massive, massive disaster. They couldn't even give tickets away.

Re: The Thread to Ruminate About Mike Love's Rape Van
Hepworth says the band suffered an identity crisis of sorts at the time and considered changing their name to The Beach.
