If the five members of the Beach Boys do not rekindle their bond, the September 28 concert at Wembley Stadium may be the last show they play together, CNN noted.
serious lol at this -- only mike love would fire a bunch of his bandmates and still expect them to show up for one more concert.

of course, the use of the word 'family' is being stretched .. but hey ..

I would really enjoy watching Brian Wilson beat the tar out of Mike Love.

The Beach Boys might still be Keepin' the Summer Alive with their U.K. tour, but for three members it will be a cold harsh winter.
The infinite number of lead sentences they could do in this vein . . .
"Beach Boys audiences might be pickin' up Good Vibrations, but behind the scenes things are anything but groovy . . .
"This summer's reunited Beach Boys tour has been a success by any measure, but God Only Knows if there will be another . . ."

pretty much anyone would like to watch anyone beating the tar out of Mike Love.

has anyone ever publicly assaulted Mike Love? besides probably Dennis?

you almost wonder if mike was running a long con and just did the whole album and tour so he could have the satisfaction of firing the guys at the end

i feel like mike might get beat up at some point in 'heroes and villains' but tbh that book is basically one nonstop horrorshow so it doesn't stand out much

Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks were informed of the news via a statement issued by Mike Love - the band's frontman and Wilson's cousin - that the tour would be continuing without them.

there's definitely fistfights in heroes and villains. dunno if any of them could be described as Mike receiving a beatdown though.

why does Mike Love care about any of this. i will never understand.

As far as I know I can't be fired--that wouldn't be cool.
I don't know why, but it's funny to think of Brian Wilson saying lines like this like Brad Pitt in "True Romance."

Sounds like both of them need to get in a room together and talk it out, rather than hearing shit second-handed through PR guys.

What they need is another centralized PR guy to handle the PR.

Need Mike Love to intervene on Brian's destructive relationship with Joe Thomas.

did he produce No Pier Pressure? that's a really boring record

Mike's bitchiness about this record in his new book is hilarious
