Brian Wilson, From the Great Beyond

With apologies to Shakespeare, I must say that the Internet is full of tales told by idiots, often signifying nothing. For example, Brian Wilson died on June 11, 2025, yet he's alive and well online six months later. 

You'd think AOL would have heard that he died, being one of the first American web portals and online service providers based in New York City, and a brand marketed by Yahoo! Inc. What started out as an email provider has morphed into a trash collector where you can still get mail and where I do still get my mail because A, who cares where you get your mail and B, I never get any mail anyway. So I see their trash stories frequently, and they are more laughable every day.

Like today's, about how famous musicians stay fit well into their later years, including Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett. And, believe it or not, Brian Wilson, about whom they write: 

"Brian Wilson, the creative force behind The Beach Boys, has openly faced significant mental health challenges throughout his life. His ability to sustain his musical output and creativity relies heavily on proactive psychological care, incorporating regular therapy, structured routines, and personal practices (including specific types of meditation or calming activities) designed to manage anxiety and depression."

"Proactive attention to psychological well-being has fostered the emotional stability necessary to sustain his creative output and productivity over decades. His journey proves that addressing mental health is a foundational requirement for long-term artistic and personal endurance."

It must work for him since he's dead yet is still doing interviews from the Great Beyond. Talk about personal endurance!
