Beach Boys: More bad vibrations from Mike Love
Any fan of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson will tell you one of the key reasons Wilson's much mythologized Smile album never came out back in the 60s is because the fellow Beach Boys, particularly singer Mike Love, disparaged the project and thought it uncommercial.
But now that Wilson has released his own version of Smile and launched a critically lauded tour behind it, guess who's trying to get a piece of the pie?
According to the Associated Press:
Mike Love is suing his cousin and former Beach Boys bandmate Brian Wilson, but Love's lawyer hopes the lawsuit won't mar their good vibrations.
Love filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court yesterday (Nov. 3) accusing Wilson of promoting his 2004 album, "Smile," in a manner that "shamelessly misappropriated Mike Love's songs, likeness and the Beach Boys trademark, as well as the 'Smile' album itself."
