Even happier now that I caught them with Brian over the summer. Mike Love was redeeming himself in my book by putting a lot of focus on Brian and giving him a ton of credit during all the promotion of their new album and tour. While I expected them to part ways again after the tour, it bums me out that it wasn't mutual, especially since Brian wants to continue with them.
From one point of view, this is ridiculous.
From another, it's a big I TOLD YOU SO moment for everyone who saw their "comeback" performances on TV and thought they sounded like shit.
Not really an equal comparison. Mike Love was the co-frontman and was far more integral to the Beach Boys than Ringo ever was to the Beatles.
Still, he's kind of a dbag.
an argument can be made that ringo made the beatles what they are
regardless, things like this make me wish Dennis Wilson was still alive. he'd crack a bottle over Mike Loves head and tell him he's fired. you can't fire a Wilson from the Beach Boys, I don't care what copyright you have.
