**The Gospel According to Al Green: How a 1970s Soul Legend Became the Internet’s Unlikely Voice of Sanity**
MEMPHIS, TN—In a twist no one saw coming, the Reverend Al Green—yes, the man who made *Let’s Stay Together* a universal wedding staple—has officially been crowned the internet’s new spiritual advisor. After a chaotic week of political meltdowns, AI-generated deepfakes, and a viral video of a goose refusing to pay rent, Gen Z has turned to the 78-year-old soul icon for answers.
The irony? Green’s 1971 hit *Tired of Being Alone* is now trending as an anthem for people who are simply “tired of being chronically online.” Meanwhile, his later gospel album *The Lord Will Make a Way* has been repurposed as a meme to caption any situation where chaos gets resolved by sheer, baffling grace (see: “When the WiFi comes back without restarting the router”).
The internet’s favorite punchline? A looped clip of Green hitting a glass-shattering high note in 1972, captioned: *“Me explaining to my therapist why I haven’t changed my insurance plan in 14 years.”* Experts say the trend reflects a collective yearning for sincerity in an ironic age—or at least, a banger to play while the world burns.
As one viral tweet put it: “Al Green didn’t just stay together. He stayed *unbothered.* We stan a legend who outlived the drama.”
