Re: Michaels's Bald Head

He was losing his hair at the same time he was losing his role as main lead singer.

What function does Mike serve when he's only doing 2-3 leads per lp and doesn't play an instrument? Looking prematurely middle-aged while trying to maintain his front-man status, in what was still a young person's game?

Must of been an insecure period for Mike. Wonder if it will get a mention in his autobiography.
Kind of like his role in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9TIOr1ZY7s

  What function did Mike serve? He sang his parts under Brian's direction, just like Carl, Dennis, Al, and Bruce. In his spare time he also wrote the lyrics to "Good Vibrations."

I think he meant during that specific period when he seemed to take a less active role and Carl was running the show
Yeah, I meant that from 'Sunflower' thru 'Holland', especially, Mike's role in the band seemed as diminished as his hairline. 2-3 leads and a couple of co-writes per lp would be fine if Mike played an instrument, but if the band had continued playing mostly the new material in its live act, Mike would have been in an awkward position. How can you still be front man if the other guys are singing lead on 3/4 of the songs?
