Meeting Mike Love - the beach boys

July, 2008

Two special and funny moments: Mike reading my poem "Add some surf to your nation" (hahah) and singing Sumahama.
I sound a bit strange. Maybe because I was a little nervous about meeting him and because all the wine we were drinking.

Now I notice I kinda interrupted him a few times and this really pisses me off. haha

1973. Ohio University. I'm backstage with a Nikon hoping for a picture of the Beach Boys. I always kept my distance from recording artists. They needed breathing room. Mike Love walks up to me and says " Hi, I'm Mike Love- Would you like take photo's of the Band? " Very cool, Very nice guy...and of course I took the pic's and still have them now. Humble guys....and I love their music.

By the way I love your videos jk - even though I can't pronounce your name.  I'm especially touched by how you love all the Beach Boys. I'm the same way. Let others hate ... there's only time to Love
