David Marks gives Brian Wilson a hug

“I am now settling into our hotel in Spain and catching up on all the comments from my last post. Im blown away by all the love, thank you! You really know how to make a guy feel good. I heard about some of the less than positive things (not on my page, thankfully) about last Monday’s reunion that I thought were pretty silly and wanted to address them while on the subject of gossip and blowing things out of proportion.

“For the record: Mike and Jacquelyne Love were kind enough to bring us each our own Robert Graham signature shirt as gifts. It was nothing more than that, a gift. I chose to wear mine because it was a thoughtful gesture from the Love’s – and Rob Reiner was pro matching shirts. I can’t speak for the others, but the dressing room was upstairs and not easily accessible for Brian, and Al was running late. It’s not a conspiracy nor was it a statement about ‘teams’.

“On Monday we were one team, THE BEACH BOYS.

“That said, I am happy to suit up in a striped shirt and join Mike onstage anytime. (But not until September, I’m going to enjoy a much-need month in Europe with my Lion mask first. 😊)
