I know the Beach Boys love to sue each other, but this lawsuit goes too far. Mike Love didn't write any songs for SMiLE, and wrote exactly eight words for "Good Vibrations." Brian Wilson sold a bunch of records, hit the top 20, and won a Grammy thanks to SMiLE. It takes a small man to sue your own kin out of jealousy...

Brian Wilson is still alive? Isn't his brain fried from LSD or something?

Mike Love is a loathsome tick.

The dead Boys are lucky to be dead, or else they'd be suing one another and being sued by the live ones. Speaking of the Dead Boys:

Love has made a habit of this. It's not the first time. Brian Wilson has previously paid Love millions to get him off his back. Now he's back again.

Love already has the exclusive right to use the "Beach Boys" name for the purposes of live performances and recording. In practice that means him and Bruce Johnston and any backup musos. Big deal.

Maybe he has big alimony and child support obligations. Alternatively (and much more likely) he's simply a jealous, avaricious leech.

The "Beach Boys" today (or whenever the photo was taken.)

They'll probably meet some "Surfer Girl" in "The Warmth Of The Sun" and be singing "We're Together Again" in no time.

Beach ping!

As you know, Mike is properly credited for "Good Vibrations" on the "Smile" CD. I guess he's now trying to get some credit for the songs he is documented to have made fun of when "Smile" was first presented to the Boys.

I doubt he'll succeed in that.
