I have no pictures, but I did fine this quote from an interview w/ML in Psychology Today (?!):

ML: Without meditation, I'd probably be dead. It has allowed me to transcend all the bothersome things that happen during the course of a day, a week, a month, a career or a lifetime. I go beyond a certain level of thought. Some of those types of thoughts come from a stressed physiology. They appear in your mind as, "I want to kill that person," "I want to kick the dog," "I want to hurt my wife," "I want to emotionally abuse people."

Ummm... no, they don't, Mike.

darin (darin), Thursday, 28 April 2005 18:39 (nineteen years ago) link

awesome! i always thought he swapped a "t" for a "c" when he bragged about his meditatation...now im sure hes on the drugs.

Apparently that last one was too large to display. So be it. But by all means, click. His name really is Mike Love -- and yes, he's the little one.

craig keller (evillights), Thursday, 28 April 2005 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the real challenge would be to do a google image search for mike love and find one picture that's not weird in some way.

Black holes, man -- itty bitty black holes.

I love how the text is arranged strategically so that Mike seems to be fixating on it, tell-tale heart style, with his blue, vulture-like, wandering right eye. Of course in reality there was probably a sushi bar/massage parlor/naked lady positioned just outside the frame.

Closer now to the destination of his culinary pilgrimage, Love made a beeline through the crowd into Quincy Market, weaving through the throngs of grazing tourists with his arm around his daughter. We pushed through the sensory overload of grilled meats, fried fish, pizzas, spices, and sweets that permeated the stuffy food court. Mango drinks and dosas from the Bombay Club were procured. "I love Indian food," Ambha explained. "My name is Indian."

"It's actually an ancient goddess name," said her father as he searched for a table. He traveled to India for the first time in 1968 to take a course by the Maharishi. "It was the same time the Beatles were there. George Harrison and I had our birthday parties there the same month, thrown by the Maharishi," he said.

A lengthy discussion on the history of transcendental meditation followed as Love unpacked the bag of dosas and spicy Indian soup, placing a spoon in our bowl and making sure we had enough napkins. His hands were bejeweled in a dazzling array of rings and bracelets. Love walked us through his techniques of chanting, meditation as a means to invoke the powers of nature, spiritual safaris to the temples of Southern India, and harnessing the powers of positive energy.

A lot to take in between spoonfuls of lentils. He's been meditating daily since that first trip to India and even became a teacher of transcendental meditation.

"There is fascinating knowledge to be gained," he said.

Indeed there is. All you have to do is listen.

I ♥ this guy. I don't know why I ever doubted him.

Every company on his hat is one that he has a personal vendetta against and he wants to ruin by association with Mike Love

reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Friday, 1 April 2011 08:32 (thirteen years ago) link

including the beach boys

is wearing a hat that says the name of your band worse than wearing a shirt of the band you're seeing play, or does it circle back around to being acceptable somehow?

second from left is Jeff Foskett, who was Brian's right-hand-man onstage for fifteen years or so up until the 50th anniversary reunion tour, and then switched to Mike's band afterwards

Watching The DC Memorial Day concert with the family, The Beach Boys Rolling Road Show just wrapped up and Mike didn't disappoint--apparently now he sings live with this weirdass autotune filter effect.

Now I Know How Joan of Arcadia Felt (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 30 May 2016 00:58 (seven years ago) link

i worked on promos for the Memorial Day concert yesterday, when they did rehearsals. Mike Love and Bruce Johnston came over and taped a couple promos with us, although they seemed to have little patience to jump through all the hoops and just did the bare minimum and then moved on. before they showed up, the twentysomething producer kept saying 'Mike Joy' was on the way and i had to correct him and hopefully helped him avoid some embarrassment. i sat there the whole time thinking "there's Mike Love, i'm one of the weirdos in the vicinity of Mike Love right now."

some dude, Monday, 30 May 2016 01:21 (seven years ago) link

i could hear the BB rehearsals but couldn't see the stage from where we were, and i was really wondering about that vocal effect.

The studio was a hexagon
Old men were sat on one side
Opposite three bald triplets
I stood in the middle
Fumbling with two tin packets

Listen while I tell this tale of woe
The worm in the bacon of BB
His name was Love
But how were they to know
Mike's gift was only poison

When I died - Love was all around
When I died - Love was in the air
When I died - Love was everywhere
When I died

So whilst the cat's away
And the mouse he did play
Plots came thick and fast
Satanic meditations, shadow emissions

So hoist his music on the mast
So look at the worm in the bacon
Good vibrations, man

When I died - Love was all around
When I died - Love was in the air
When I died - Love was everywhere
When I died

Well then I died

Turned the beat to the brink
To post his name high
Thick and fast on the mast
Sail is all broken

The story of Love
The story of Love
The story of Love

When I died - Love was all around
When I died - Love was in the air
When I died - Love was everywhere
When I died

I kinda doubt that story is true, or even if, it seems heavily exaggerated in its retelling.

Also, M. Love is far from talentless. For starters he has a great singinging voice that worked extremely well w so much of the beach boys'material.

Like, the guy obv sucks, but it's not necessary to make up stories about him or pretend that he's talentless when there's more than enough incontrovertible evidence out there making the case

I thought the same thing about Love’s batshit Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech. Then I heard the speech.

I don't find it that hard to believe, I've read quite a few stories of musicians of all stripes not reacting well to fans in the front row distracting them or not sufficiently enjoying the show.

The best part of that evening is not on video. Love apparently had (has?) a habit of taking off his shoes during performances. While the end-of-the-night all-star jam was happening, Mick Jagger stole Love’s shoes.

Omigosh that was something else... ok, the nachos thing is obv 500 percent true; i was wrong to question it.

Watching that speech my initial thought was, wow, he is so effortlessly creepy, it's kind of amazing... i did not anticipate the insulting his peers and then transitioning into we're all one TM glurge parts. Wow... also notable how similar it is to elememts of trump's rhetorical style during his rally speeches.

I met Bruce n Mike one time ‘backstage’ at a rich boomer party at the Peabody hotel. a high school homie was their publicist for a bit in the late oughts. It was all of an 11 minute encounter but Bruce came off way more dickish.

One of the writers in a local alt-weekly gave a bad review to their 1992 album Summer in Paradise. He soon met Bruce Johnston, who told him that his review didn't count because he was a millionaire and the writer was not.

John Cowsill was a beast on the 50th anniversary tour, made it clear why he was the only guy that got brought over from Mike's band for his playing / singing.

(Mike's bandleader / guitarist was the only other guy brought over at all, and I'm sure he did heroic work as a mediator & played well, but the Wondermints dude just stayed home to make room for Cowsill.)

bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 19:39 (two years ago) link

I don't remember who was in the band when I saw that 50th show (besides the Beach Boys and Wondermints guy(s)), but I do know there were like 8 guitars on stage, and they didn't need 8 guitars.

Was just thinking the other day that one of the many unusual things about the Beach Boys is that there are so many songs *about* surfing and surf culture, but not much actual surf music.

Think that guy says he started that page because other BB sites were either Mike-leaning sites or Brian-leaning sites and he is tilting at the windmill of splitting the difference. He also goes into some Brian vs. Carl beefing that I didn't really know about.

(I went to the Unleash The Love solo album launch at Amoeba, and even that was strictly one Unleash song, one Beach Boys song, rinse & repeat (and the band was the touring Boys))

Read Steven Gaines' early 80s Beach Boys tome for the first time recently and on that evidence every single one of the Boys was a shit (except maybe Bruce Johnston), and they were p racist as well. And yet still Mike came out on top (bottom).

Oh also in the "Heroes and Villains" book, all of the other Beach Boys disapprove of Brian dating a black woman and try to get her arrested so she can't follow them on tour. Al says something like “does he really have to put his arm around her”

Also one of Dennis's wives/gfs (clearly the one Gaines had the closest rapport with) calls a black bouncer at a Bill Graham venue the N word, and when Graham bans the group from his venues as a result Gaines clearly takes the wife/gf's side.

i mean i fucking LOVE brian dgmw and SMiLE is just... classic. very classic. but i've thought about this probably too much: i've just assumed they were all horribly racist in that goid old fashioned incorrigible old white person baby boomer "ya we're just kinda better than them" sorta way. i mean they came from the institution that co-signed brian's outright theft of chuck berry so they obviously are from a very racist system. not "fuck them all" outright forever but let's not feign any shock or outrage here. also perhaps i've just mentally prepared myself for the worst when it comes to establishment white men.
