Can we be shown weirdos + Mike Love?

ffs Alan Jardine!

I'm not a big BB fan but the Jokermen podcast is now going through every Beach Boys album (having already done Dylan & Lou Reed/John Cale).

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.

So their biographers are also racist?!?

maybe one for the controp thread

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.
