[edit] Nuclear disaster
Re my most recent edit, see http://www.thesmileshop.net/essays_reum3.html . This was written by Peter Reum, one of the most well-known authorities on the Beach Boys (cited, for example, in the liner notes for the CD reissues of the band's albums, and often credited as a researcher on documentaries, etc). He clearly states: "Brian got a form of emotional release and humor from seeing conflict. He scripted a scene at a rehearsal for Heroes and Villains at the 1967 Hawaiian Live Concerts in which Mike Love actually reads a Brian authored script making fun of Brian for having a less successful sales result with the Heroes and Villains single than anticipated. Brian is making fun of Mike making fun of Brian and Van Dyke's art during Smile's recording several months beforehand. Self-deprecation is a major form of expression of what Brian finds funny. " Given that Wilson can be heard on the tape encouraging Love, and without any actual evidence to the contrary (and no, statements by Domenic Priore do not count until he learns the difference between his own unsupported opinion and actual fact), this comedy monologue should *not* be used as an example of Love's dislike for Smile. Love's problems with the album, in fact, do not include Heroes & Villains, and he has often noted that he considers that track Brian's last great work (see, for example, his interviews in the Endless Harmony documentary) even though he dislikes the rest of the album (especially the lyrics to CabinEssence).

[edit] first cousin
If Mike Love is first cousin to the Wilsons, his mother must be a Wilson. What was her name? For that matter, what are Mike Love's parents' names? - Nunh-huh 20:48, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- Mike Love's parents are Milton Love and Emily Wilson (sister of Murry Wilson) - Little Surfer Girl xxxx
-
- True about his parents being Love/Wilson. But not necessarily true that his parents must be Wilsons. For instance, if Wilson's mother was named "love"-which of course is not the case. I'm bring this up to show the fallacy in the assumption.J. M. 01:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
