Beach Boys settle lawsuit

Beach Boys settle lawsuit

That the Beach Boys hate each others' guts is a well-known fact to anyone whose knowledge of the group extends beyond Full House episodes. But it appears that founding members Mike Love, Al Jardine and Brian Wilson might finally be feeling some, cough, good vibrations. (If you make the inevitable "Good Vibrations" reference in a Beach Boys lawsuit story ironically it's no longer hacky!) A never-ending legal dispute over rights to the band's name has been settled. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. But lawyers suggested the amicable nature of the settlement could pave the way for a long-awaited reunion of the band's three surviving co-founders. "Certainly everybody would love it, but we're taking it a day at a time," Jardine's attorney, Lawrence Noble, told Reuters. "We've cleared out a lot of negative history, we're looking forward to the future, and hopefully a lot of good things will happen." For a vivid illustration of the band's negative history (Dr. Love!) see the clip below.
