If you read Wilson's reply to the Love letter though it seems that Brian was the first one to get his attorney involved.. "At that point my attorney merely suggested to Mike's attorney that a possible press release in those markets might be appropriate" Funny how artists refer to countries as markets.Barry Womhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283427738573284957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-92138543133682220502012-10-10T20:14:47.854+01:002012-10-10T20:14:47.854+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233390630529657198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-10214644630179151072012-10-10T20:12:41.162+01:002012-10-10T20:12:41.162+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233390630529657198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-64145401840225963282012-10-09T08:03:12.319+01:002012-10-09T08:03:12.319+01:00It's a good point - people don't often adm...It's a good point - people don't often admit to what extent their views are coloured by outside sources. But believe me, ever since the mid-sixties I've been convinced that Jimmy Savile was a nasty sod. Mike Love is definitely hewn from the same guano. henrymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629517499998339638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-90093052678365289852012-10-08T22:25:10.915+01:002012-10-08T22:25:10.915+01:00To be honest, I doubt that many people give a seco...To be honest, I doubt that many people give a second thought to who the bad guy in the Beach Boys is.Huwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743262251212584449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-43530973140182775822012-10-06T16:16:52.172+01:002012-10-06T16:16:52.172+01:00Reminds me of Christopher Hitchens' comment th...Reminds me of Christopher Hitchens' comment that, all too often, we get someone's reputation and judgement of their actions the wrong way round. Ideally we should look at their actions and then gradually form their reputation in our minds; what tends to happen instead is that someone quickly acquires a reputation, and then this colours all the judgements made about their actions thereafter.<br /><br />His most famous example of this was Mother Teresa, which makes for interesting (if controversial) reading.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112354725005655943noreply@blogger.com
