that's one of the more hilarious ironies about him - his big spiritual revelation was that he could cop some stress-relief techniques and still be a greedy womanizing asshole! it's win/win!

The Smiths poll thread and all these Beach Boys threads have got me imagining what it would be like to have Mike Love and Morrissey in the same band.

Mike Love, one of the founding members of the Beach Boys and the only original member that still tours under the band’s name, is getting “Good Vibrations” from a diet mostly without animal products.
Love has cut out all red meat and chicken from his plate.
“I’m 90 per cent vegetarian,” Love said. “I favor vegetables and stuff like that.”

(xp) Well Mike has been involved in some weird scenes before...
"Mike was carrying a two-gallon glass jug of apple juice everywhere he went," said Vail, "kind of like a security blanket. Apparently the doctor realized Mike was right on the edge, and he was about to give him a sedative when Mike saw what was coming and became very neurotic. He jumped up and fled the room." When he came out into the reception room, where Vail was waiting, he threw the jug of apple juice at him, and it smashed against the wall. A second later Mike was gone. He leaped into his car and took off with Fred Vail following him. "He was flipping out, and we went everywhere; it was like the Steve McQueen chase in Bullitt..."
― Thomas of Britain (Tom D.), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 10:56 (eight years ago) link
I don't think this was a coincidence at all!
the apple juice story never gets old, although I think I like the "let's build a floating new age hospital in the shape of a pyramid off the coast of california" scheme to be slightly more entertaining

Just realized that Mike wrote "(Bop Bop) On the Beach" – the Beach Boys-y tune credited to The Flirts and Jan and Dean in The Karate Kid in the scene near the beginning when Daniel gets his butt kicked on the beach. Bet Mike liked that.
