Can we be shown weirdos + Mike Love?

He's obviously disconcerted by meeting someone with a worse dress sense than him.

apologies if this has been posted but.... but....

haha what an asshole

Radio Shack MAGA Hat!

haha what an asshole

also I assume this will be his epitaph

takes a real special type of asshole to make being an asshole your brand

mike love kind of looks like my ex, and he was a colossal asshole too!

from the early days, when mike hadn't quite figured out how to put on a baseball cap.

too many goddamn apostrophes in that ad

President Trump will visit Newport Beach today to raise money for his cash-strapped campaign.

The event will feature a live performance by the Beach Boys and tickets start at $2,800 per person, up to $150,000 per couple for co-chair status. https://t.co/Nx3kAZe3a8

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

Just for the record, Brian & Al had nothing to do with the Newport Beach performance: https://variety.com/2020/music/news/brian-wilson-al-jardine-trump-benefit-beach-boys-disavow-california-mike-love-1234808907/

(what a dumb q to Crosby, btw - Love got the right to use the name long ago.)

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.

Ha. That’s great. Nachos!

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 kinda doubt that story is true, or even if, it seems heavily exaggerated in its retelling.

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.

"I SAID: PUT... DOWN...THE...NACHOS!"

I had Chris Knox wonder if I was catatonic at a small club show two decades back, things happen.

And to think this whole I was told nothing's going to happen

time*

Amazing!

Ha, fair enough... ugh now I'm going to go look up that dumbass's HoF speech

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.

Ha, nice!

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

Related, you guys might have seen this floating around Twitter today...

I guess there should be a thread about getting reverse-heckled by musicians...

that nachos story seems absolutely plausible to me

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

Make sure to watch it right to the end for the secret cameo!

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

Well thanks for putting that thought into my head.

you're very welcome
