Original sentence: In the late Sixties, as founder Brian Wilson was sidelined by mental illness and drug problems, Love played an increasingly contentious role in the Beach Boys career, and rightly or wrongly, he has often been identified as one of the 'villains' in the band's story.While Love has generally (and perhaps wrongly) been perceived as a negative force in the Beach Boys creatively, there is no doubt that he has on occasion exhibited sound commercial instincts, as for example on his co-writing the 1988 US number one hit Kokomo, the only number one the band had that wasn't co-written by Wilson
