Bandmate Bruce Johnston says that fans who have pegged Love as a villain over the years don't understand what a positive influence he really was for the band: ["They're always angry at Mike Love, y'know (and think) all the Wilsons are gods and they're angry at Mike Love. Mike wrote some amazing lyrics that probably paved the way on many levels — including having enough money to finance Pet Sounds and all kinds of other projects."]
