I've heard a couple different versions of the story, so more than one thing could have influenced the process--who knows?

Mike Roe Trivia

Doctor said:

------------------------------------------------------------------

If Tony Shore can be called 'doctor', then etc.....



This thread has brought me to ponder how everyone here so quickly and easily accepted one of the most ridiculous moniker/nicknames ever. A bit of history is in order.

I honestly cannot remember how or why the name got started, but part of it had to do with being obsessed with the KISS song "Calling Doctor Love", having not heard it in at least a coupla decades. For some strange reason, I thought that it was an Al Green song -- can you believe that? This is probably why I allowed it to stick so hard, thinking I had aligned myself with a 'soul king' rather than the kings of 'bubble metal' Shocked I also heard Mike Love of The Beach Boys refer to himself this way in an inverview when he was trying to justify deserving the $5,000,000 he weasled out of Brian Wilson for songwriting collaboration back-royalties. It's easy to hate Mike, but for some reason when I heard him call himself "Doctor Love", I suddenly liked him -- don't ask me why.

I also think I was trying to piss off some girlfriend who was putting me down a lot, and calling myself "Doctor Love" made her even more angry. I decided to create a phone message on my answering machine with the name, just to try it out on unsuspecting callers. It had an immediately polarizing effect, especially with women, most of whom absolutely hated it. I knew I had a winner then

It all became official in my mind when my Dad left me a phone message calling me "Doctor Love". The rest is history.

Yea....I was kidding! I really didn't think Mike got Dr. Love from this......My "guess" is that Mike is a Brian fan mostly. I, for one, am and it makes me ill about all the family issues revolving around that family who are sooooo talented (some more than others).

Hey! I am a doctor! :-) Honorary, and because I was a radio DJ, but hey...I'll still never be as legit as you Dr. Love! Hope to see you soon.

I didn't think but this

"I also heard Mike Love of The Beach Boys refer to himself this way in an inverview when he was trying to justify deserving the $5,000,000 he weasled out of Brian Wilson for songwriting collaboration back-royalties. It's easy to hate Mike, but for some reason when I heard him call himself "Doctor Love", I suddenly liked him -- don't ask me why."

is very funny as I had no idea I just happened to read it and found Mike Love's ranting humorous.....very funny that this could be the interview that helped bring about the name...very funny.
