Defend the Indefensible: Mike Love

Spotted in an FB group:

1979 BOMP! Magazine: Nick Lowe on Mike Love:

"Like what's that bloke's name… Mike Love? Is he the one that wears that hat all the time? What a wanker that bloke is! When he came over to England, I saw him on the television. He was being interviewed and he was like this crass American tourist and he all but said your policemen are wonderful and I just came over here for the girls, you got so many pretty girls here. I thought, for fuck’s sake, what is this wimp doing? He had on this sort of LA beige suit on and the beads around his neck. He just looked like the biggest wanker I'd ever seen. And his stupid little yachting cap!"

Cupid must be angry at Mike Love.

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

The best thing about that tweet is how he says two terrible insults, seems to be stepping back to deliver a death blow...and ends on a mild opinion.

Mike still on the circuit

Is he doing the Biggie tribute?

He’s a member of Beats Antique
