The New American Inequality: The Cooled vs. the Cooked
Summer is not what it used to be. On a hot August day, an outdoor concert can feel like a picnic in Death Valley. A trip to Disney World is a roller-coaster ride through unshaded hell. The Beach Boys' 'All Summer Long' sounds like a love letter from another planet. In the hottest regions of the country, such as Texas, where I live, the climate crisis is not only changing our world; it is also dividing it. When the heat spikes during the summer, we morph into a two-party state: the cooled and the cooked. On one side, there is water, shade and air-conditioning. On the other, there is sweat, suffering and even, in the worst cases, death. And it means that no matter where we live, we have to update our conception of heat as a disruptive and punishing force. The cooled are people like me, who work mostly indoors, bathed in the soothing breeze of manufactured air. We live hidden from the brutality of summer, except when we run out to the mailbox or the grocery store. There we hit a wall of heat that feels like an alien force field and burn our hands on the car's steering wheel. We live vampire lives, out early for a walk or to run errands, retreating indoors to our comfy caves during the afternoon, then out again after sundown to hang out with friends and complain about the heat and plot a getaway to the beach or the mountains. For the cooled, heat is an inconvenience, an intrusion into our lifestyles and a reason to finally pull the trigger on a loan to build a backyard swimming pool. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Billie Joe Armstrong Shares Unearthed ‘I Get Around' Cover in Tribute to Brian Wilson
Billie Joe Armstrong has paid tribute to Brian Wilson by sharing a cover of the Beach Boys' 1964 classic 'I Get Around.' The Green Day guitarist and vocalist shared his rendition of the song on Instagram on Wednesday (June 12), hours after the news of Wilson's passing broke. More from Billboard Woman Arrested for Attempted Break-In at BTS Jung Kook's Residence on the Day of His Military Discharge Carín León Is Ready to Prove He's The 'Missing Link' Between Regional Mexican and Country Music The Grammys Add New Country Category for 2026 'Thank you Brian Wilson,' Armstrong wrote. 'I recorded a cover of 'I Get Around' a few years ago.. never got to share it. One of my all time favorite songs ever.' Originally released in May 1964 as the sole single from the Beach Boys' sixth album, All Summer Long, 'I Get Around' would become the group's first song to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, a feat they would achieve twice more in the '60s – thanks to 'Help Me, Rhonda' and 'Good Vibrations' – and once in 1988 by way of 'Kokomo.' Armstrong's rendition of 'I Get Around' isn't exactly a left-field choice for the musician, especially given the influence that many bands of the pop-punk genre have taken from the Beach Boys' approach to music and songwriting. While Green Day's 2009 track 'Last of the American Girls' was noted as containing harmonies reminiscent of the Beach Boys, Wilson himself showed an ignorance toward the punk genre in 2015. 'I never went for that. I never went for the fast kind of music,' he told The Guardian. Wilson passed away on June 11 at the age of 82, with his death inspiring countless tributes from musicians around the world. In the same vein as Armstrong, Sting honored Wilson's legacy by performing a live rendition of 1966's 'God Only Knows.' 'Today, one of my heroes died, Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys,' Sting said during the encore of his Wednesday night concert in Rostock, Germany. 'So I want to sing a song that I love.' Both Sting and Wilson had previously performed the same song together during a 2008 concert at Carnegie Hall.
