Okay I wasn't sure where it should go given the subject, but I guess Beach Boys are classic rock enough...unless "oldies" go in the general music updates so here it goes:

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Mike Love is suing his cousin and former Beach Boys bandmate Brian Wilson, but Love's lawyer hopes the lawsuit won't mar their good vibrations.

Love filed the lawsuit in federal court Thursday accusing Wilson of promoting his 2004 album, "Smile," in a manner that "shamelessly misappropriated Mike Love's songs, likeness and the Beach Boys trademark, as well as the 'Smile' album itself."

Love's lawyer says it's nothing personal.

And why?

Love objected to a promotion in which 2.6 million copies of a Beach Boys compilation CD were given away to readers of Britain's The Daily Mail on Sunday newspaper. The lawsuit said the giveaway undercut the band's sales.

The lawsuit seeks damages, including "millions of dollars in illicit profits," and seeks at least $1 million for international advertising "to correct the effects of ... unfair competition and infringing uses."

[Spike-X]

Oh, fuck you Mike Love. FUCK you. Without Brian Wilson's songs you wouldn't even be able to scrape together enough cash to pay your goddamn lawyers to initiate this ridiculousness, and you know it, you pathetic nonentity.

Of course, this is the same man who accused Bruce Springsteen of "cashing in" on 9-11 by releasing The Rising. Because God forbid somebody should write songs that are actually about something.

He also claimed in Mojo that contrary to popular interpretation he didn't oppose Smile, liked Van Dyke Parks' lyrics, and respected Parks...to which Parks then wrote in calling B.S.
