24. Mike is also a right-wing douchenozzle politically

Fri Aug 10, 2012, 07:57 PM

Aug 2012

He was campaigning for #41 in '88, and his crony Bruce Johnstone(the lame-ass keyboard player they brought in when Brian got too crazy to tour) actually calls Obama a socialist(he's quoted doing that in the Rolling Stone article about the Surviving Beach Boy Reunion Tour.)

Other than being blonde and looking semi-studly on stage back in the day, what the hell did Love EVER bring to that group? He can't sing for shit and he also basically ordered the band to stop trying to grow creatively in 1966 or so(it was Love that decided to turn down the Boys invite to Monterey Pop, thereby instantly turning them into a cheesy nostalgia act).

I think having to deal with Mike Love is half the reason Brian lost it in the late Sixties.
