I had to post the above photo. If you're someone familiar with the history of the Beach Boys, you probably know why it's so snicker inducing. If not, a good primer would be Why I hate Mike Love, a post on the blog, Man vs Clown. The flipper in the photo is Dennis Wilson, and the face in need of a slap in the lower right corner is Mike Love. Almost as funny as the photo is a comment from Gene Taylor, left on Facebook, where I found the photo. As many of you may know, Taylor was the piano player for the Blasters. A few years before that, he toured with Canned Heat. Here's what he had to say: "When I was with Canned Heat in the mid-1970s, we toured with the Beach Boys (minus Brian). Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston were friendly, Carl was friendly but quiet, Dennis was always on us to share our stash and Mike Love was a complete dick." So, here's a couple Beach Boys songs with Dennis on lead vocals, and an outtake from his solo LP Pacific Ocean Blue. Tee-hee.
