mike love beach boys interview transcendental meditation

[TheSom03]

One thing, Mike Love IS talented, he's just a douche bag.

[PeterJurik]

Pretty sure this is 1983, he mentions the band is playing "Imagine" on stage, which happend in 1983.

[comedychow]

I'm glad he's bald.

[MIKZ562]

all i member is about mike love is so many people hate him smh lol

[UKWelsh]

Notice how he ALWAYS wears a HAT.. wonder WHY? Watch him on Beach Boys: An American Band. It shows them arriving somewhere in Europe, shows him sneaking off somewhere with a young groupie! After the 1:30 mark or so, I am about to throw up from his far-reaching description of himself. And all of his TM gibberish, please---

[MIKZ562]

@UKWelsh i think he always wear a hat cuz he's bald or has a receiding hairline lol

[jwild611]

When it comes down to it Mike Love is a good person who cares about the goodness of the world. However when it comes to his relationship with the Beach Boys he let ego and commercialism get in the way of the art. Once SMiLE came about he should of shut his fucking mouth and let that album be released. If that had happened the band would have stayed huge.

[ironbmike]

lyrical and conceptual contribution? lolol

[kewlklutzklan]

mike love is an opportunistic asshole with a gift for self-promotion and being in the right place at the right time. that's a funeral to look forward to.

[oijoinjouijnion]

Not a bad band. I love everything about TM. I've been doing it since I was twelve (Now I'm 20). Certainly not all peace-loving mediators are hippie/druggie morons. Eg. I'm a conservative nationalist.

What's wrong with Mike Love?

[thedayxyz]

i WOULD say this was made in either 1987 or 1988 just saying by him talking about vice prez bush andn the way he looks, he looks around 46 or 47 years old right??

[sjk72]

@thedayxyz I was thinking more early 80's based on that stupid shirt the interviewer's wearing.

[thedayxyz]

@sjk72 yeah, i doubt it was before 1986 though cause mike love looked different in 1982, he looks more haggard in this clip, thanks though.

[thedayxyz]

@sjk72 yeah, on second thought that shirt he;'s wearing AND the pants are really GAY!!!!!

[ltdrichard]

i hate mike love

[HuntersMoon73]

Love handled those heavy, potentially awkward questions very well. If someone just dropped "Who are you?" in the middle of a conversation/interview, outta nowhere, I would have just sat there slack-jawed, not knowing what to say. Ditto, "what do you want to be remembered for?"

[johnnyappallseed]

if the band had listened to mike love they wouldve been more successful, we dont want to hear artsy fartsy "deep" hippie garbage, we want surfin and cars and sun. same thing goes with the ramones, too bad the band didnt listen to johnny, they wouldnt have three albums that totally stink if they had listened to him. mike love is alright.

[ilovetheruttles]

you sound like complete morn that doesn't know anything about "real music" Your as bland as white toast

[BucksStudent]

Despite him being one of the most hated people on Earth, TM is serious stuff.

[Joaopandao]

10sec of Brian Wilson s music are far better than this stupid criature called mike love.

[Brenniman65]

We're assuming here that when you spell "criature" you are actually trying to spell "creature?" Mike Love is trying to share positive energy so it's easy for all the negative and miserable individuals to jump in and hiss isn't it?

[Joaopandao]

creature or criature, the same deal.... It was a grammar error: i know it is crEature.

And no it isnt. I know i was hard, but there is really a looooong distance , an infinit space betw. M.Love and Brian Wilson. I take off the "stupid", and keep my previous comment.

[colindominy]

Here, Here, to all the commentators below, who rightfully put this shit-head Mike Love in his proper & rightful place. Granted, his role in the BBs gorgeous harmony-sound & their long career was crucial .. but what a fuck-wit as a human being. Yes, you folks are all correct - ML has been a jealous, up-himself jerk, possessed of a very seriously low self-esteem, for a long, long time. Just empty spin and hot air .. nothing more. Empty vessels make the most noise.

[friendo14]

all you haters go suck chode

[branship]

mike love rules shut up. you have to thank mike. who cares about buddisht or meditation he is who he is he song many of the greatest beach boys hits

[Justshutitoff]

When I think Brian Wilson, I think Pet Sounds. When I think Mike Love, I think Kokomo.

[Obiwannabe]

Fuck you mike love

[bndck7]

Mike Love is the balls. Sit down and talk to him and you will know the goodness in his heart. He was and always will be a musical lyric icon. Keep up the good work Mike Love!!

[M3town3]

I AGREE! I Love him!

[jbartz]

"is the balls" LOL is that an expression now?

[BeachBoysGuy1]

@bndck7 "Icon" ????? ...sure

[rouens]

@bndck7 nothing but an egotistical douchebag

[soulsurfer56]

Full of crap again. Beach Boys hanger on and a poser.

[KallenK]

mike love has always wanted to have the talent of any wilson brother. He doesnt so he makes noise. really annoying noise. and he thinks he counts. i think all beach boy fans know who counts. its not mike love. it never will be. he is the embarrasing beach boy. i like the talented beach boys.

[chriskassel1]

He's a great bald singer. But drunk in this interview.

[kookadams]

the man is so full of shit. how the hell can he be an environmentalist/humanitarian/­buddhist and a fucking conservative rublican?

[KallenK]

because he isnt anything. thats what is soooo sad. he wants exposure and thats all.

[timetherton]

gotta love this guy. TM is legit. highly highly recomend it.

[AndyImsdahl]

George Bush's Birthday For World Peace!

[laughingcrowspeaks]

NIce words, Mike Love. How could anyone react negatively to such a benign interview? Forget the past. The comments about TM were right on.

[theassman345xxxo]

love the love

[bigmartin3000]

He is such a loser d*ck. He had his body gaurds beat up Carl Wilson etc... 2 faced devil. He has no talent, never had - just a backseat drive for him.

[scatmanwfm]

hahahah u could tell that guy was trying to hard not to laugh at the end "that ive lived up to my name" what a shitface. rot in hell mike "money" love

[bwsmyhero]

Why does Mike Love always wear a hat nowadays? Because he doesn't want the public to see how bald he is? Or could it be he's covering up the hole in his head so that what little brains he always had won't leak out?

[ilsy74]

Mike is pure genius! So is David, Al, Bruce, Carl, Brian and Dennis of course. But what you gotta realize is that if you take out any element of the Beach Boys away, YOU DON'T HAVE THE BEACH BOYS.

[soadisdstrbd]

he talks a lot but he should take some of his own advice. FUCK MIKE LOVE!

[flopsly]

This is great. Mike Loves gets such a bad rap from his differences with Brian Wilson, people don't give him enough credit.

[suparni]

Gee I thought that Mike Love was known for being a total jerk and ruining the Beach Boys... not his conceptual contribution.

[JoshSitar]

I love the awkward silence that follows Mike's last statement.

[frandra]

Great Mike!

That's the program mankind should do!

[NancyHey]

Good! Mike Love, not war!

[thebeachboys]

Thanks for posting, never saw this before!
