Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s memoir pulls no punches

I am Brian Wilson with Ben Greenman (No credit)I AM BRIAN WILSON: A MEMOIR
By Brian Wilson with Ben Greenman
The Beach Boys, pioneers of the California sound of the early 1960s, were the right boys—brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Love and pal Al Jardine—at the right time, with the right themes: sand, surf, souped-up hot rods and suntanned girls. Beginning in 1962, they churned out a tsunami of hits, from “I Get Around” to “Good Vibrations.” But it wasn’t all fun, fun, fun. Their wave crested in 1966 with the release of Pet Sounds, widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, just as Brian, the group’s driving creative force, began showing signs of mental instability.
The Boys soldiered on, amassing a few more minor hits (plus one massive chart-topper with the throwback “Kokomo” in 1988). Drug use among all three Wilsons, creative and philosophic differences, and financial squabbles escalated infighting, with Brian and Mike Love the principal combatants…
How do men age? Here’s why the answer is ‘poorly’

How Men Age by Richard G. Bribiescas (No credit)HOW MEN AGE
By Richard G. Bribiescas
Badly, in a word. There’s nothing newsworthy about that, of course; elderly male squirrels have their problems, too. But the lens through which Bribiescas views the issue, evolutionary biology, offers a nuanced explanation of why, during almost every phase of human life, men die at a higher rate than women, despite the latter’s own health risks, including childbirth and male violence.
Bribiescas, a fiftysomething Yale anthropologist, notes how natural selection has shaped our species to ensure more boys than girls are born, although the process remains elusive. (Possible causes include: more X chromosome-bearing sperm than Y-bearers, a fertilization process biased in other ways, and “unequal attrition during gestation.”) The species needs a larger pool of males to start with on account of the, uh, post-gestational attrition.
That spikes in early manhood, when male risk-taking (and war participation) peak…
