But when i read the news

Headed by lead vocalist and Beach Boys founding member Mike Love

.. okay, now that is just sooo biased!
.. i realized then, that Brian Wilson wont be around to play any of his stuff. Sadly, i doubt if they will even play any of Pet Sounds… which is the only album of them that i love. *sigh*

coz of Mike Love and Brian Wilson’s fight over royalties some years ago.. (erm, decades) because Wilson “wasn’t Beach Boys enough” huh?! hmm and Wislon’s release of SMILE album (2004). I doubt that they even have communication at all.. now i can imagine why he sounds tentative and forced when pressed to live performance, that he abruptly jolts “Hooray for the audience!” into a blank void.

Oh well im having doubts if the concert will turn out as i expect it to be.. hmm.. so maybe ill just grab me a copy of Pet Sounds Live by Wilson’s 2002 first solo tour of Europe and England. Just hope the CD do not conatin him saying in the concert :
Here’s an instrumental, with no voices, okay?

Brian Wilson: (then and now)

Anyway, anyone can still buy me a ticket.. hihihi
