Nasal-voiced Beach Boys singer Mike Love has long been a conservative Republican. And a bit of a shit in personal terms. Back in the mid ’60s he did what he could to dissuade Brian Wilson from musical experimentation instead of sticking to the Beach Boys formula. Director Bill Pohlad didn’t portray Love as one of the three bad guys in Love & Mercy (along with Murray Wilson and Dr. Eugene Landy) for nothing. Love is some kind of green Republican (he supports environmental causes) with an investment in Transcendental Meditation, but he nonetheless supported John McCain in ’08 and Mitt Romney in ’12. And now, of course, he’s with Donald Trump.
