Joy Reid said the Beach Boys are considering performing for Drumpf.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I would be mightily disappointed !!!

[BigDemVoter]

1. Don't be surprised, and get ready to be disappointed.

They played for GWB after he stole the WH in 2000.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Bush didn't run on a racist, xenophobic, nativist, sexist, and pussy grabbing platform.

[BigDemVoter]

24. Ok-- GWB is not as awful as tRump but. . . .

GWB did run on a racist, xenophobic, nativist and sexist platform, but I will say that good ole GWB, g_d bless him--never talked abut grabbing ANYBODY'S pussy!

No, seriously-- I agree with you--Trump has gone into the slime. . . . But I have to say we wouldn't be in this shitty situation were it not for their damned Saint Ronny Reagan. . .

Is it not just a nauseating thought that this thing will be president next month?

[pstokely]

2. Isn't there only one original member left?

Shouldn't they just open a theater in Branson?

[skylucy]

5. There is one original (Mike Love) and one semi-original (Bruce Johnson) in the group.

As someone who goes to their concerts whenever they play near my town, I would NOT be happy if they accept the invitation.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. They get a pass for playing for Republicans from me.

No pass for playing for Drumpf.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. And obviously no Brian Wilson.

To Whom The Beach Boys owe essentially their entire legacy.

[skylucy]

16. Yes. Brian was (is) definitely the genius behind the Beach Boys. Glad to see that others

appreciate his talent!

[sarcasmo]

19. Did you see Love and Mercy? John Cusack played the older Brian and Paul Giamatti was

the controlling, pill subscribing Doctor.

[Freddie]

23. Great movie

Elizabeth Banks played his 2nd wife who basically saved him from the malpracticing shrink. True story.

[AngryAmish]

32. They has a world tour with Brain Wilson in 2015,

A buddy of mine is in Brian Wilson's band. Mr. Wilson is not right in the head.

[tanyev]

3. "And he'll have fun, fun, fun till Ivanka takes the Twitter away."

[Ilsa]

10. That's most excellent! nt

[marlakay]

6. My hubby says one of the guys is pretty

Scatter brained.

Says they wouldn't need the money they have tons.

[dionysus]

11. Trust me, brian wilson won't be there. Mike love is too cheap to share dough

[nolabear]

9. Time to let them know what a bad idea it is.

Of course Brian Wilson was so much the driving force behind them in the great years. Love is just willingvto take credit. Still...

[Cartoonist]

12. Mike Love, not war

[Emilybemily]

13. Has beens

That's all they are

[Vinca]

20. Oops - I deleted something I immediately thought was wrong, but it turns out it's right.

The Beach Boys will be playing in the large metropolis of Keene, NH at the Colonial Theatre in March. It's almost sad.

[oberliner]

15. It is embarrassing that Joy Reid is reporting on this at all

Please cover actual news.

[C_U_L8R]

17. He may as well have booked Lawrence Welk

There isn't a person under 50 who gives a shit.

[Stellar]

18. That's like a blast from the past man...

[pinboy3niner]

22. They can lobby to play on the Mall for the Fourth again

It's been 34 years since they did that, 33 since Sec. of the Interior James Watt axed them.

[MFM008]

21. Most of the people I know

Won't be watching anyway.

[boguspotus]

25. It would be the Mike Love led Beach Boys cover band, not the real BB's:

No Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks = not the real Beach Boys.

[kimbutgar]

26. How relevant are The Beach Boys?

I doubt anyone over 30 barely knows who they are. Has beens....

[anneboleyn]

40. They are still well known but w/out Brian Wilson (no Carl or Dennis either) this is Mike Love

with shitty musicians.

[mchill]

27. Message them on Facebook and tell them your feelings

[WillowTree]

28. Without Brian Wilson, it's not the Beach Boys, no matter what they call themselves.

[briv1016]

29. The Beach Boys are still alive?

I thought they died years ago. (29 FYI)

[anneboleyn]

41. Um, Brian Wilson is and he is the soul of the band. But he won't participate in this debacle

This is Mike Love (the weakest out of the original group) w/a cover band.

[kwassa]

30. Help me, Rhonda.

[RKP5637]

31. I won't be listening to any of it anyway. I'll be looking on the net for protests. M$M won't

cover sh**.

[femmocrat]

33. We must all tweet or contact them on FB!

It worked with Andrea Bocelli!!

[msongs]

34. the Beach Old Men is more like it nt

[bravenak]

35. Who? I don't know this band. :(

When were they popular, I was born in the 80s, but my mom was born in the sixties so maybe when she was a teen? I'll ask her.

[bravenak]

37. Oh, duh! It's like, Wilson Phillips' dad and stuff.

[anneboleyn]

39. Are you serious? I am not much older than you and I know the Beach Boys VERY well.

The Beach Boys were one of the most famous bands of the 60s, their songs show up everywhere, there have been hundreds of cover versions of their songs, and their influence is astonishing. The Beatles repeatedly claimed that Sgt. Pepper's would never have happened if it hadn't been for Pet Sounds. I would definitely recommend to listening to more music from the sixties. I love eighties new wave the most but the sixties bands are incredible.

[bravenak]

44. You do realize I'm black and we have a cultural difference?

I looked it up. I cannot relate to their music, which is probably why I do not remember them. Surfin usa? Yeah, ok. Music was still segregated when they were on the charts, so, my family probably wasn't to excited about them either. But I know damn near ever band that topped the soul or rap or r and b charts for the last thirty years.
I did just listen to a few and I see why people are nostalgic for those times. I like Wilson Phillips better.

[gratuitous]

36. The Beach Boys were okay with hanging out with Charles Manson

But Trump might be just over the line . . .

[raccoon]

43. Dennis Wilson got mixed up with some of Manson's people.

He later regretted it and considered himself lucky to have only
spent lots of money on them.

[anneboleyn]

38. Not Brian, Carl, or Dennis Wilson. And Mike Love has always been a huge dick.

Brian won't be performing with whatever band Mike Love has assembled and is calling the "Beach Boys," and obviously Carl and Dennis left us years ago. Mike Love was always the no-talent idiot in the band, ferociously jealous of Brian's genius, and he has always loved acting out for attention.

[cally]

42. Seriously, this is funny. Way, way past due date

I love the Beach Boys but they are not A list talent anymore. Is this the best they can do? Men older than I am who are playing hits from 40 years ago?

[Cha]

45. "Considering"? Why aren't they saying Yes right away..

or No for that matter? What's there to think about?
