Love’s touring edition of the Beach Boys, for which he holds the legal rights to the name, also includes longtime band member Bruce Johnston. They are slated to play Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Safari Club International Convention in Reno, where hunting enthusiasts can arrange trips to hunt exotic animals. “This organization supports trophy hunting, which both Al and I are emphatically opposed to,” Wilson tweeted on Monday. Wilson’s tweets made it clear that Love holds legal authority to use the Beach Boys name for his touring group. We’ve performed at some of his venues at fundraisers and so on.”AdvertisementOne of the Beach Boys’ most highly regarded albums is “Pet Sounds,” released in 1966 with a cover photo showing the band members feeding goats at a zoo.
