That so looks like a souvenir photo provided to rich assholes who paid $10,000 to attend Mike Love's rock n roll fantasy camp weekend.

I liken the experience to watching a really solid Beach Boys cover band fronted by someone’s asshole dadWestwayKid wrote: ↑07 Jun 2018, 1:30pmGood way to put it. He's got a solid band (musically and vocally) - but is it The Beach Boys? From what I understand, he has to have permission from the stakeholders of Brother Records (BRI) to tour under the name. Mike is a stakeholder, as is Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, and the estate of Carl Wilson. Bruce dumped his shares before he bailed in 1971/72 and Dennis sold his to cover debts before he passed away. Long story short - as much as fans might hate on Mike Love for "abusing" the name - he has the okay from the likes of Brian Wilson to do so. Brian gets a cut of whatever Mike and his gang make out on the road.Wolter wrote: ↑07 Jun 2018, 12:39pmI’ve seen The Mike Love Beach Boys Starship twice, and yeah, he sucks, but the musicians are tight and the songs are fun.Flex wrote: ↑07 Jun 2018, 11:10amThe Mike Love Boys put on a pretty good show when I saw them around Christmas '16 (I think) but they put on a GREAT show when I saw them at the Paramount in Denver last year. Part of it was just the venue - one of Denver's best smallish music venues vs a somewhat sterile generic performing arts complex, but still. He played one solo song at both shows and they were both awful. Pretty good live takes on Summer in Paradise tho, which may be of interest to Hoy.
I cannot imagine what a Mike Love solo concert would be like, except terrible. But I also can't imagine not trying to see the shitshow if I had the chance.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY...rocks a mic stand like Bruce Johnston! His mic stand adjusting/fiddling skills are legendary! Almost as legendary as his questionable politics and his short shorts!matedog wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 9:53amThe mislabeled photo was a great start.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 9:13amHard hitting journalism: http://www.timminspress.com/2018/06/13/ ... to-timmins

Sirius has a seasonal Beach Boys station, and it just snapped from “God Only Knows” to something from the 90s and I almost got a nosebleed from the psychic shock.
