Overview

• Jardine told Rolling Stone that Love’s remarks at Brian Wilson’s memorial this month lacked compassion and centered on claiming authorship of Good Vibrations, saying Love has “serious megalomania problems.”
• Jardine said he opened his own speech with a quip about co‑writing with Wilson and later summarized the difference as focusing on Brian versus focusing on Mike.
• A representative for Love responded, “That’s not true,” and said Love’s focus is on uplifting audiences, preserving and sharing the Beach Boys’ catalog, supporting fellow shareholders such as Jardine, and backing nonprofits.
• Reporting describes a private funeral near Los Angeles with formal eulogies by biographer David Leaf and editor Jason Fine, followed by a repass at the Beverly Hills Hotel with additional speeches and performances.
• The exchange has renewed attention on decades of legal and personal disputes, including 2000s cases that affirmed Love’s right to perform as The Beach Boys, with no new legal steps reported.
