In the past, I’ve been very open about this sort of thing, so here goes - once again, my depression has gotten out of control. So in order to continue living, I’ve started TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or “big fuckin’ magnet”) therapy for the next few weeks. Fingers crossed.

My feeling whenever I see something like that is that it makes perfect sense for Jimmy Page to want to play with The Beach Boys and a lot less sense for the Beach Boys to have Jimmy Page playing guitar
