Al Jardine publicly accused Mike Love of making Brian Wilson's funeral speech about himself and of claiming authorship of 'Good Vibrations.' Jardine said he focused on Brian while Love focused on himself, and he described Love as having megalomania. A representative for Love denied Jardine's account, emphasizing Love's commitment to audiences, preserving the Beach Boys' songs, supporting shareholders including Jardine, and backing nonprofit work. Jardine and Love previously litigated over the right to perform under the Beach Boys name, briefly reunited in 2012, and later split into separate touring groups.
Mike wanted everybody to know that he wrote every single word of 'Good Vibrations,'
I didn't feel the compassion, let's put it that way. Mike's got some serious megalomania problems.
Mike's focus has always been on uplifting audiences around the world through the music he helped create with his bandmates and cousin Brian. His commitment has been to preserve and share this great American songbook while providing resources to fellow Beach Boys shareholders, including Al Jardine. In addition, Mike and The Beach Boys have dedicated significant time and support to nonprofit organizations using their platform to give back to communities in need.
