   I've got no hate for Mike Love. I certainly prefer Brian's musical direction   
   to the one Mike wanted to take the band in. But honestly, if I was in his   
   position and the main songwriter of my surf group went off the deep end and   
   started in with all this    
   crazy non-commercial shit, I might not be so supportive either. Ultimately,   
   you have to respect Mike's dedication to the band, and his willingness to work   
   his ass off to keep it going.
