The Big Wakeup Call

Mike Love returned to the show to talk about his new solo album "Unleash The Love." It's a double set featuring unreleased songs and a bonus disc with new versions of Beach Boys classics. We discussed why these songs remained unreleased for so long, learning Transcendental Meditation from the Maharishi, traveling to India with the Beatles, and why Mike and George Harrison are Pisces Brothers. Plus: why the Beach Boys and the Beatles never worked together or did a co-headlining tour.

Sebastian Bach called in to talk about his memoir 18 and Life on Skid Row. We discussed our mutual love of rock and roll bios (particularly Springsteen's & Keith Richards' "Life"), why he didn't turn to a ghostwriter, and how his love of KISS inspired him to share his stories.

Bill McCormick called in from the World News Center to talk about trademark infringement cases involving the terms "Super Hero" and "Comic Con." Plus: becoming a Furry Award-winning author and Green Lantern's catcher's mitt.

The Movie Man called in to share his thoughts on "Justice League," "Wonder," and "The Star." Plus: thoughts on Rotten Tomatoes, getting rich 20 cents at a time, and why you're better off watching most movies at home.
