After Mike and Al tried to get Brian to vote with them and kick Carl and Dennis out of the BBs on an airport tarmac in 77, the group was never the same again. The next album after that fiasco was the 1978 MIU album, to which Dennis and Carl each phoned one lead vocal, but did not attend the sessions. Brian was removed as producer, and Al and Ron Altbach, the keyboard player here, produced the album, which was wretched. Then Brian and Mike did this crap for a cheap movie, and it's the kind of formula Mike had wanted to stick to since 66. The single "Almost Summer", was a minor hit, hence this appearance on American Bandstand. In 79 the group signed a $7 million deal with CBS, and when the president of CBS, Walter Yenkitof, heard the L.A. Album, he uttered the immortal words "I think I've been fucked". He had been assured that Brian was in charge, but Brian was AWOL on that album, contributing nothing: 2 old Brian tracks were revived and one old Brian song was given the disco treatment. Their next CBS album, "Keepin the Summer Alive", had, for the first time, Brian phoning in several new songs, not one of which was of high quality: Dennis didn't even attend the sessions. Finally, in 85, they went to England and were produced by a producer of the month Steve Levine who promptly sent Brian for singing lessons: the resulting album tanked. The Beach Boys did not record another album with Brian until 2012, and the "That's Why God Made Radio" album, produced and mostly written by Brian, went to #3 on Billboard: the BBs wanted to continue to tour with Mike, Brian, Al, Bruce and Dave Marks, but Mike "fired" them all except Bruce because he wanted more cash for himself. Since then, Al and Blondie Chaplin tour with Brian and his fantastic band, and Mike continues to tour with a bunch of anonymous backup musicians and Bruce, who years ago should have jumped ship to Brian's band- God knows why he hasn't. As Dennis said in 77 that day on the tarmac when Al and Mike tried to fire him and Carl, "Remember this day: this was the day the Beach Boys broke up."

When you shine a light onto negativity, that's all your going to see. It's best to look at things with a more balanced approach because life is complicated. Your thesis is that the Beach Boys broke up in '77 and they were a shell of their former selves every year after, and you're willfully ignoring history to make that thesis a reality. The truth is that the Beach Boys had been a band of little pockets for years. You had some members working on x tracks, and some members working on y tracks, and the whole band working on z tracks. Just because that also happened *after* 1977 doesn't mean that's unequivocal evidence that they were dead as a group. It's funny - when people generally talk about songs like, say, Sail On Sailor, they say they were comeback hits for the group, but when it comes to Almost Summer, it's always a "minor hit." People love to discount the success of songs they don't like. When The Beach Boys Love You charts at 53, it's an underrated gem. When The Beach Boys '85 charts at 52, it's a flop. Maybe history and people are more complex than just "before x year it was this and after x year it was that." I don't know where you got the story that Mike cut Brian out of the band after 2012 "because he wanted to make more money for himself," but if that's the case then he made a very grave error because 1. the size of shows they were doing in 2012 were much larger comparatively and 2. he still contractually has to pay Brian and Al major royalties for using the Beach Boys name. The 2012 tour was a major, major ordeal with a lot of cooks in the kitchen. You had two touring groups which had both been used to performing a certain way for years suddenly forced to change. A follow-up reunion tour was not an inevitability and no one ever made any mention of it. If Brian was indeed cut out as the story goes, why wasn't there any effort at securing a contract for said follow-up tour? These things have a lot of moving parts and take a lot to get off the ground. If the plan was to continue, then they would have attempted to make those plans. You don't wait until the last minute at the point where you can already start booking venues, because at that point it's too late! Those venues you want to book will already be filled up by the time you negotiate your contract. The narrative just doesn't make sense when you put it into context with reality. I really resist fans constantly pitting Brian and Mike against one another because it makes for a better story. They've said good and bad things about each other. Brian has said scathing things about Carl and Dennis too, but that surely doesn't mean he always hated them or still hates them. People change and evolve. 60 years is a long time. Life is complicated.

I think the reason Dick Clark stumbled there at the beginning is because the group was Mike Love & Celebration and here Brian Wilson shows up with him. Maybe they should have had their little chat before the cameras started rolling? But what they explain is all true--the movie people wanted the Beach Boys, but the soundtrack was being released by a competing record company. It seems that many people think (and even want to think) these guys were at each others' throats all the time, but that's just not true. (People want to think the same of Lennon and McCartney, but that wasn't really true either.)

THAT'S the best lyric Mike Love has, rhyming books with looks? Love sees himself as a great writer. Yet, he is touring with a semi-talent group of guys who are supposed to be the Beach Boys, singing 50-year-old songs. Where is all Love's great newer stuff? (Hint: there isn't any.) Brian Wilson, on the other hand, has great new music rolling out monthly, and tours with a great group of musicians and singers--true artists. Love is pathetic. Love can make all the jokes about how everyone hates him he wants--he's the one who turns it into reality.
