Jesse Colin Young:
Biography: Perry Miller was born on November 22, 1941, and raised in Queens, New York, to musical parents both originally from Lynn, Massachusetts. His mother, Doryce (Van Sciver), was a violinist and singer with perfect pitch, while his father, Fredrick Miller, was a Harvard-educated accountant. h of his parents had a passion for classical music, and he learned piano from a young age. In 1959, Young won a scholarship to attend Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he studied classical guitar; however, he was expelled from the strict academy. After finishing high school, Young enrolled in Ohio State University, where he broadened his musical tastes by living behind a record store. After a semester, Young returned to his parents' home in Pennsylvania, later transferring to New York University in 1961. Young balanced his studies with performances in Greenwich Village; however, he later decided to leave college and become a full-time musician. During this period, he decided on his stage name Jesse Colin Young as a blend of the names of outlaws Jesse James and Cole Younger, and Formula One design engineer and team owner Colin Chapman, as he felt like this was a more appropriate name for the music he performed.

The moral cost of celebrity gossip:
Gossip about celebrities is often framed as harmless entertainment—a sugar rush for the bored, a brief escape from our own routines. But entertainment that depends on violating dignity, amplifying cruelty, and monetizing pain is not harmless. It’s morally corrosive. It distorts our empathy, rewards dehumanization, and, at its worst, puts real people in danger. The story of Princess Diana remains the clearest warning. And the relentless hostility toward Harry and Meghan—and so many Hollywood figures—shows that we haven’t learned nearly enough.
