David Crosby Really, Really, Really Doesn't Like Mike Love
He labels the Beach Boys founder a "shithead..."
*David Crosby* has a reputation for shooting from the hip.
A true songwriting legend, his role in The Byrds and CSN&Y assures him of a place in rock's upper pantheons.
Yet he doesn't hold back on his opinions. With the Beach Boys - led by Mike Love - agreeing to perform at a Trump fundraiser, the songwriter took aim and fired.
Labelling the Californian artist a "shithead" he claimed Love has "not talent at all" before adding: "As you can probably tell... I just don't like him!"
Those aren’t the Beachboys and I doubt they voted
Mike Love is ,in the opinion of almost every musician I know , a shithead , most assuredly has no talent at all , and , as you can probably tell ...I just don’t like him https://t.co/GLZwvSFN2h
