A New Low for Mike Love

4 November 2005, 10:04

I doubted it was possible to be more disgusted with the actions of Mike Love… until I heard the news that he is now suing Brian Wilson for having “shamelessly misappropriated Mike Love’s songs, likeness, and the Beach Boys trademark, as well as the SMiLE album itself” for the release and tour of Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE… an allegation even more baseless than the mid-1980s charge by Fantasy Records that John Fogerty, in creating “The Old Man Down The Road”, had plagiarised himself.

If this news is accurate, Mike Love is without shame and without honour.
