Those aren’t the Beachboys and I doubt they voted Mike Love is ,in the opinion of almost every musician I know , a shithead , most assuredly has no talent at all , and , as you can probably tell ...I just don’t like him https://t.co/GLZwvSFN2h— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) October 19, 2020

This is a thread.
With Mike Love in the headlines, I figured I'd dust off my favorite Mike Love story. Ten years ago, I went with my Dad and my friend Kayvon to see Mike Love & the Beach Boys.— Alex Scordelis (@alexscordelis) October 19, 2020

Ha. That’s great. Nachos!
― curmudgeon, Monday, 19 October 2020 20:02 (three years ago) link
I kinda doubt that story is true, or even if, it seems heavily exaggerated in its retelling.
Also, M. Love is far from talentless. For starters he has a great singinging voice that worked extremely well w so much of the beach boys'material.

Like, the guy obv sucks, but it's not necessary to make up stories about him or pretend that he's talentless when there's more than enough incontrovertible evidence out there making the case

I don't find it that hard to believe, I've read quite a few stories of musicians of all stripes not reacting well to fans in the front row distracting them or not sufficiently enjoying the show.

The best part of that evening is not on video. Love apparently had (has?) a habit of taking off his shoes during performances. While the end-of-the-night all-star jam was happening, Mick Jagger stole Love’s shoes.

Also, I was in Rite-Aid earlier and Kokomo came on the in-house radio there. That was a little unnerving in itself...

Some are asking if this story is true. It is. It took place on 8/2/09 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA. Here’s a photo I took of Mike Love scolding Kayvon for eating nachos. pic.twitter.com/NE0hSrRZbB— Alex Scordelis (@alexscordelis) October 19, 2020

Omigosh that was something else... ok, the nachos thing is obv 500 percent true; i was wrong to question it.
Watching that speech my initial thought was, wow, he is so effortlessly creepy, it's kind of amazing... i did not anticipate the insulting his peers and then transitioning into we're all one TM glurge parts. Wow... also notable how similar it is to elememts of trump's rhetorical style during his rally speeches.

mike love is one of the rare people for whom a convincing case could be made that they would be a more sadistic and unhinged president than donald j. trump imo

I met Bruce n Mike one time ‘backstage’ at a rich boomer party at the Peabody hotel. a high school homie was their publicist for a bit in the late oughts. It was all of an 11 minute encounter but Bruce came off way more dickish.

One of the writers in a local alt-weekly gave a bad review to their 1992 album Summer in Paradise. He soon met Bruce Johnston, who told him that his review didn't count because he was a millionaire and the writer was not.
