	Instead we got a lunatic with a bottomless recording budget and the pressure to record hit songs in order to keep a large number of people happy who depended on him.<br />
	<br />
	He could have been Daniel Johnston, Skip Spence and Bobb Trimble rolled in to one.<br />
	<br />
	Instead he was like a retarded Brill Building savant who can't deal with reality.<br />

	What the Beach Boys were is over rated.<br />

	This is entirely possible, but we'll never know.<br />
	<br />
	Of course that's more a defense of Wilson than of the whole group.</div></blockquote>

	Mike Love sang on a bunch of the early hits including "Be True To Your School."  And he's the vomitmeister behind "Kokomo," which I think they did after Wilson was long gone.  I think I hate "Kokomo" even more than "Be True."
