I've been a huge Beach Boys fan ever since Surfin Safari on 45rpm.  I've always thought Brian Wilson was a musical genius and the music and harmonies he created with the group are complex and gorgeous.  I've read numerous books on the BB's over the years and always felt I was getting a one-sided view of the band's history, especially the portrayal of Mike Love.  I've always felt the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and that Mike's contribution to the music of the BB's was under appreciated.  I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  I enjoyed it very much, found it to be an honest attempt at telling the history of the band, and an honest self-evaluation on Mike's part.  His portrayal of Brian is honest and heartfelt, not bitter or acerbic.  I admire Mike for this effort and for continuing to spread the joy of this music to generations throughout the world.  Not a money grab, but a mission to impart the gift of this music and the pure fun and positivity of the lyrics to fans, both old and new, throughout the world.  A good read.  Highly recommended.  Left me with a mix of sadness and joy.  God knows, nobody's perfect, we all have our flaws, and the best we can do is to try and be kind, give something back, and leave this place better than we found it.

This is an entertaining read. I am disappointed that it provides no insight regarding the relationships between Brian, Al, Carl, Dennis,and Bruce; and I am disappointed that it evades the important subject of how and why Mike and Al became estranged after Carl's death and have not toured together since, except for the 50th Anniversary tour in 2012 (Mike's cursory treatment of the topic is unconvincing); but this isn't a general or objective story of the band. It is Mike's story, with emphasis on his relationship with Brian and Uncle Murray; on his contributions to lyrics; and on his struggle for just credit and respect. It works on that level, and is persuasive on those subjects.As I've read it said, genius isn't everything, and often it is not enough. Concentration and hard work are underrated. Mike, and Carl and Al, kept the flame alive for years when fast changing fashions might have extinguished it. They kept on keeping on. Mike has kept this catalog of music on the road for the past 20 years, and whether or not his band is or isn't the Beach Boys, they're good. Mike explains himself and his life mission well in this book, both intentionally and unintentionally. If the Beach Boys had and perhaps still have a place in your music soul, you'll be glad you read it.

    A Wave of Fun Fun Fun!!

Good guy or Villain? There's two sides to every story.  Mike Love of the Beach Boys finally takes time to look back at his life and his role as a Beach Boy. For years, Mike seemed to be the glue that held the band together, toured, made appearances, and branded a product that's still popular over 50 years later. Yet, many believe he was the problem behind many of the lawsuits and fights with bandmate and cousin Brian Wilson.  Mike Love finally gives us "the other side of the story!"  Mike takes us on a journey from childhood to the present. He not only tells us of his successes and failures, but how they happened..and how they helped or hurt him. While most bands are lucky to survive 5-10 years, The Beach Boys, although broken at times, have survived. To those who love his music and showmanship, the book takes you on a fun but rocky journey. For those who only want to bash him because they feel Brian Wilson is "The Beach Boys", you'll understand what really took place and have a better appreciation for the situations that he, and all members of the band faced. I've personally met Mike, interviewed him for the radio and my Beach Boys show, and introduced the band at a concert in Harrisburg. It's great to get a new perspective on his life and that of the Beach Boys.  You won't want to put this book down. Enjoy.
