It's 2026: Mike Love is on Tour, Paul McCartney was on Chicken Shop Date, & The Rolling Stones Released a New Album

all your heroes die deaths of over exposure or scattered obscurity, even the ones who made crossroad deals with the devil in the pale moonlight; they die doing what they love, their fans old & sad & grasping too hard at past straws, the groupies now throwing support bras & popping arthritis pills, riding home on mobility scooters soon to be abandoned in empty parking lots & yes, sometimes the singer forgets to move his lips to the lyrics but that's a small price to pay for glimpsing a memory well past its prime & still the music lives on even after the flame flickers out, no one no longer hoping to die before they get old
