2008 I’m Picking Up Bad Vibrations

onThis is kind of surreal:
The press release, via Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic Monthly:
I hope this note finds you well. You may have already received the attached invitation from L.E. and Ginny Simmons, but I personally wanted to invite you to a reunion with Mitt Romney and the Romney for President National Leadership Team featuring the Beach Boys on Friday, May 9th in Houston, Texas.The Governor is looking forward to seeing many of you again at the reunion and we hope that you can join us for this very special event.
In addition to the reunion, Governor Romney will be hosting a breakfast to kickoff his fundraising efforts for Senator John McCain on Saturday, May 10th. The breakfast will begin at 9:00am and I’ll forward the details as soon as they are finalized.
For those wondering, the Beach Boys now consist of 67-year-old Mike Love and a group of backup singers. If you’re in Houston on May 9th, this is probably the most productive thing you could be doing.

Any idea why the next (above) column by Amy Kate Horn, supposedly explaining why Dan is away, points to a column that says absolutely nothing about why Dan is away?
I'm confuseled. Almost as much as Mitt Romney is about why GWB is about to burn down some extremist LDS nutters near his house, just like GWB's dad did ...
Mike Love was always the element of the Beach Boys I liked the least. The very first live band I ever saw was a similar lineup of the Beach Boys in the early '80s, at the Puyallup Fair.
shouldint it be called beach boy then?
GO BRUINS!!!
I think he wants to be vice-prez, and has a pretty good chance at it unfortunately.
Obligatory "Fuck Mike Love" comment.
Damn it. Stop ruining my birthday, people.
Another "Fuck Mike Love" comment.
Excerpts from Mike Love's Hall of Fame speechI wish he didn't have the rights to use the name anymore.
Mike Love is the foulest twat in the world, and even though I love The Beach Boys, the REAL Beach Boys, I'd rather entangle my pubic hair in industrial machinery than listen to 30 seconds of Mike Love's FAKE Beach Boys music today.
I saw Brian Wilson at the Puyallup Fair a few years ago, and even though he was similarly unencumbered with original members in his backing band, they were fucking great Fuck you, Mike Love.

"Follow that car"
Mike Love should have been kicked out of the band after Smile, then invited back on guest vocals for the few good songs they did after that featured him (Do It Again, Add Some Music).
The McCain girls are pretty surreal, too. A new video!
