- The Minnesota News Network's Scott Peterson talks to Mike Love about the Beach Boys' beginnings, Love's new autobiography Good Vibrations--My Life as a Beach Boy, Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson, the Maharishi and more.
I thought that was actually one of Mike's better interviews. I think the primary things that lead to him being viewed as the "villain" in the Beach Boys story was his infamous Rock N Roll Hall of Fame speech as well as suing Brian and Al. The people who were around at the time don't recall Mike ever saying to Brian "Don't F with the formula". I will give Mike the benefit of the doubt with the Reunion though. There have been conflicting stories on why it ended when it did. As for Mike being able to bill his own band as The Beach Boys you can actually thank Brian and the estate of Carl Wilson for that. They both voted in favor of Mike being able to tour under the Beach Boys name with only Al Jardine voting against it. But Mike does not own the Beach Boys name like some fans and members of the media tend to believe.
People seem to forget that the Wilsons were self medicating, staying in bed, and he didn't you have to give him that!
He really loves plugging that book!
