Oh hey, that's kind of cool, I guess. Maybe I'll watch a YouTube clip of it later if I don't forget.

"Brian you can't make us sing Surf's Up or Cabin Essence! We can't sing hippie songs! What will our fans in Omaha or other non-psychedelic markets think?? You don't want to lose your fan base!"
- proceeds to take over the band and perform on a conservative talk show

Now Melinda should book Brian and Al to visit the Thom Hartmann show. If you're not aware of Mr. Hartmann (which, quite frankly, wouldn't surprise me), he's a progressive talk show host, seen on Free Speech tv, and heard on radio all over the US. And he's not a screaming, ranting liberal version of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, or Alex Jones, he's pretty calm and enjoys a good discussion with people from the other side of the aisle.
Brian and Al should write a song about why they are against trophy hunting. They could call it "Don't Go Near the Forest".

Friends I respect everyone's politics but I wouldn't make too much of a political issue of this. governor Huckabee has had a show for a long time and he himself is a bass player and hes had Meryl Streep on his show and the great New York Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams, and he loves music and he loves Americana, so even though he comes from one particular political party I would just say this is a celebration of music and American culture in a very innocent and wonderful way and I won't fight with anybody about it. I just hope it's a good show and there's some good insightful discussion about music and maybe the governor will strap on the bass and join in for a song.

My remark was along the line of them being on "old folks" TV. I hate this getting old.
Hey kid, get off my lawn......

Isn't all TV old folks TV now? I'm half-joking, but one could argue that cable TV itself is becoming antiquated in the age of streaming services or (my preferred option) video sharing sites like YouTube. I mean, I rarely ever watch TV in the traditional sense these days, and I find that content on YouTube tends to be just as if not more entertaining than most of what you see on local/cable television.

Yeah, this is the kind of thing Mike & Bruce have done quite regularly -- they were on Don Imus' show back in around 2006, and that was hardly less right-wing than Huckabee's...

Anyone ever considered the possibility that right wing shows and events are the only people who will have The Bruce Boys? I mean, I’m sure they’d play shows/events on the opposite end of the spectrum, but would those people/events never even think about it because they all hate Mike Love? The target market seems to be the whole All-American, heartland, meat & potatoes “America’s Band” thing which will always be right leaning by nature.

The target market seems to be the whole All-American, heartland, meat & potatoes “America’s Band” thing which will always be right leaning by nature. This crosses over to the political domain I think maybe another thread but it relates to a performance. A lot of Demmies have been disenfranchised by the false appropriation of the socialist labels and it is a bridge too far. I am still a registered D, but I’ve watched members of my party get rolled-over (punished if they deviated from the “D” message as they are not allowed to deviate from the official party line) and bought-off, with positions that are not moderate and some of them are a bridge too far. It is a party in migration. We’ve been evicted. When someone calls you “deplorable” and you grew up in the big tent of the party, you are forced to rethink why you are staying with people who verbally abuse you because of your positions. Abused people are always told to get away from their abusers. And being called “right wingers” or “uneducated” (a joke) does not help their case. Iowa was rigged with this app. And, I never heard of Mike Huckabee - never knew he had a TV program, but am always open to his point of view - and a lot of it aligns nicely with moderate-conservative Democrats who are “originalist” constitutionalists, and who have been “constructively evicted” from their party for not being “woke or socialist” enough. The guy in the White House was a Democrat during the 2000’s, and both Senators Warren and Clinton were Republicans. It is fluid. You run where you can win. Bernie didn’t run as a Socialist. He stole the branding of the Democrats who laughed at him and screwed him at the convention. I voted for Bernie in the last primary because I saw him getting screwed - and I agree with absolutely nothing he has to say. The party affiliation thing is a very fluid situation right now. But all people love good music. Music knows no political party. It is neutral. I watched them on Bob Hope, Ed Sullivan and Andy Williams which were programs my grandparents watched because it was The Beach Boys and had nothing to do with age or political affiliation. And, they have played plenty of D-related events over time, with voter registration drives going back to the 70’s and playing free impromptu concerts post hurricanes and tornadoes and other natural disasters. Can a business (any business) afford to turn down work (or if they are in a corporation designated to “make money” for an entity - and refuse work - causing economic losses for the parent corporation?) and because outside political factions don’t agree? Where does it end? It is a question for Solomon.

For a guy that spent a lot of time creating and promoting an album of Murry Wilson material on this very forum...a man who many in the Beach Boys fandom consider a disgusting person I gotta say your ranting is becoming very hypocritical. This is the third thread now that's crossing forum guidelines. We have a place for people to argue politics here if that's your thing. Arguing politics online is an utter waste of time. You are literally ranting about your political views now in the other thread about the Beard article. I have stayed away from all of these threads but your beliefs and attitude you are expressing is really out there. It sounds like you want to live in a world where only people that think like you and believe what you do should mingle with each other. Sounds like your ideal utopia for artists is to stand up before the concert starts and tell anyone that didn't vote for YOUR party to leave the venue? Do you know that things like the Symphony and the Ballet would not be able to survive without the support of a lot of silver haired corporate types that vote Republican? Research it...I know I'm correct. Guess what, I voted for Bill Clinton for one of his terms. I can't stand him or his wife, all kinds of celebrities I like have hung out with and/or performed with the Clintons. I don't give a rats ass. You yourself mentioned being judged by who you align yourself with and that censure is justified in such cases. That's great. It is a FACT the Bill Clinton traveled with Jeffrey Epstein several dozen times.....what do you think he was doing...or should I say who? So if you are invited to perform for the Clintons are you going to jump at that gig? Since you quit your job because the boss liked Trump and it's "disgusting" that the BB's would perform on a conservative show, I guess that you won't sell your music to anyone that is not in your camp. Totalitarianism.....count me out. Lastly, I love animals too even though I'm not a vegetarian. Neither Mike nor Bruce did a damn thing to an endangered animal. This whole thing is so out of proportion and it's become more than clear it is much more to do with politics than animals. I hope this thread is dumped or locked as well as those others. And anyone that sends me a political PM...I won't read it so don't bother.

...aaaand we found the mildly ashamed conservative.
Not sure how Murry fits into the argument I've been making. If he were alive today and supporting evil rulers I guess could understand. Not sure how all my IMO qualifiers didn't help to support that this was my personal opinion. Not sure how the Beach Boys aligning with a pro-gun, pro murder, and pro GOP event is not considered BB discussion. Worriesome to learn I am considered disgusting by many. Please don't tell my wife.

Junkstar- I don’t consider you disgusting at all. It took courage to research what Murry wrote and I am not a Murry apologist and see the value in your work. He came from another place and time. Had Murry not kicked down the right doors - there would be no BBs. But somehow could not let go of his extreme control and became vindictive, destroying what he helped build. Murry’s stuff landed on Lawrence Welk - for that time - it was a huge deal. And I do disagree about GOP - who are as fractured as the DNC by the Socialists, in their own right. Trump is a constitutional populist who ran as a GOP candidate, and then had to make his deals and clean house post-election, to the extent that he could. The real GOP hate him. You are not disgusting. Reasonable minds can differ.

Many people consider Murry disgusting. GET IT? I thought your project was interesting. You are bringing your own political views in what is now a third thread and this is the stuff that spoils places like this. Now the BB's are pro murder....? OK. I don't look down my nose at people or disassociate with them based on who they vote for and you clearly do so good luck with that. Nice to cherry pick one point out of my rant and get it wrong on top of that. Just as well because I'm mad at myself for even wasting my time with this. I'm also done with this so the last word is yours if you want it.

I think we all do a good job of not letting politics get in the way on these boards, but if a political thread exists and it is related directly to the band, I can't sit it out. It's just too important now. History is being made, and IMO there are clear sides. Apologies for the misread.

I don't want to spoil the party, but you guys are approaching this news all wrong. This isn't just some right-wing crank. This is Mike Huckabee!It's about the music, man! That's why my personal hope is that, together with Mike & Bruce, the Huckster will use this opportunity to treat his audience to a rockin' rendition of Barbara Ann -- with original lyrics by John McCain, of course.
