You are supposed to post excerpts up top, not your own re-write of the story. That way, you don’t make mistakes like this.

You are allowed to excerpt up to 300 words from the actual story, and can choose any 300 you’d like, and the more you choose, the better.

In this case:
“each Boys founder Brian Wilson has launched a petition calling for the band he helped create to cancel an upcoming show at a hunting convention.

The Safari Club International Convention takes place in Reno, Nevada, this week with the Beach Boys due to play on Wednesday.

Mike Love, another band founder, will perform alongside longtime member Bruce Johnston - to the fury of Wilson, whose name is synonymous with the group.”

SO yes, part of his problem might be because of Trump, but he also is really mad that they are playing at all without him.

BTW, there is actually NOTHING in the article that says Wilson is doing any of this because of Trump. The article INCLUDES that Trump is playing, probably to confuse the readers into thinking this is the issue.

But the two reasons directly taken from Wilson are first, he is furious they are playing without him. And second, that they are playing at a hunting club, he opposes safaris and hunting for sport.

Brian Wilson is a musical genius who suffers from mental illness.

That being said, he has the right to express his dislike of hunting.

Not all gun owners are hunters.

"There’s nothing we can do personally to stop the show, so please join us in signing the petition."

I've seen a BB contract (a non-Brian show within the past 6 years), and all the riders, and Beanbag is exactly right - he will have no success trying to exercise prior restraint. He's a beneficiary who rakes passive income from their Mike Love-led performances! Not just the royalties but paid as if he's there.

Which is why Beanbag can't do shit about their schedule, Mike & Co announced this date last December, and Beanbag had his chance to object before then.

Beanbag singularly makes being a Beach Boy fan so goddamn hard (could care less what Al thinks about a bus schedule, Shorty is a moron).

I saw them in concert back in the early 80’s. It was by far the worst concert I have ever attended. They were late getting there, causing the warm up band to keep on playing. When they did show up, it was only half of them. They were all drunk, having attended a Notre Dame football game earlier. The warm up band ended up playing for them. They were better than the real band. Finally, the others showed up, played three songs and left. The only good thing was I didn’t pay for the tickets. My brother gave them to me. Beach Boys suck.
