Mike Love's ill-advised speech at the Beach Boy's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of 1988, in which he makes inexplicably hate-filled potshots at his rivals in the business, including the Beatles (who he refers to as "the mop-tops") and Mick Jagger (who he calls "chickenshit"). Prominent musicians like Jagger and George Harrison were in the room during the speech, and the other members can be seen embarrassed; at the end Elton John comes up and says "thank fuck he didn't mention me!"
I'd never seen this clip until today but for me it really shows the other side of Mike; the jealous and aggressive part of him is exposed uncomfortably clearly here.
