Just Wasn't Made for These Times: Brian Wilson (1942-2025) | Tributes | Roger Ebert
Briefly

The article reflects on the emotional responses to the deaths of beloved artists, particularly Brian Wilson. As favorite musicians pass away, often through social media news, the author expresses a complex mix of nostalgic remembrance and grief. Though many artists lived fulfilling lives, occasionally a particular loss strikes deeply. Wilson's music, notably from the album Pet Sounds, represents profound emotions of outcasts and misfits, evoking feelings of loneliness and being out of place. The personal connection the author feels to Wilson's lyrics underscores a shared experience of alienation and longing.
I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
As sung by Wilson, not long before his psychosis reached debilitating depths... resonate with aching, defiant beauty.
