I'm enjoying this, though I can't help but feel that he is greatly overestimating his influence on the BB's songwriting.

I'm on page 150 and he's talking about Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations. Anyone that knows the BB's knows that the Wilson brothers started taking drugs during this time period.

Mike's holier-than-thou attitude about his cousins' drug abuse can be rather off putting and I expect it to get unbearable over the next 300 pages.

But it's good in that it's salacious - if you like that kind of thing.

Mike Love is a very petty man who has a habit of carrying grudges well past their sell-by date.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
