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.

Maybe he has big alimony and child support obligations.

Mike Love has been a "playa" for a while. I've lost count of his marriages and kids (one of whom married Cousin Dennis briefly). I'm sure alimony isn't cheap when you're a rock star.

Alternatively (and much more likely) he's simply a jealous, avaricious leech.

There have been other, less kind things said about Mike Love over the years.
