Anybody know of a biography of Mike Love? I can't find one, nt

1. Probably because no writer in his right mind would want to deal with that giant asshole. nt

[Richardo]

2. Probably the same reason there's no autobiography either.

3. Probably right. That's exactly why I wanted to read one.

Other Beach Boy bio's mentioned him being bad-tempered and abusive. I expect they didn't expand on that because of fear of a lawsuit.

4. When he's dead, someone'll spill. Count on it.

For a zillion reasons, I sincerely hope Brian Wilson outlives him.

5. Where did you hear that about him? Only place I've heard anything

is where I mentioned, bits here and there in other bios.

9. Read it a while back, but it might be worth a re-read.

Most of what I remember from the book is about Brian and Dennis.

conniving scum
