Resonations

[roccophil at gmail.com (Phil Boeye)]

Read an article in Newsweek awhile ago on the current young generation
and how they collectively are displaying hearing problems consistent
with the 50+ crowd.  An audacious achievement.

I used to play in nightclubs in front of a stack of Marshalls and
system speakers.  And then there were all the obligatory hard rock
concerts right in front of the speakers.  I can honestly tell a
certain loss of hearing.  It mainly displays itself in the form of not
hearing very well in a crowd of people, especially indoors.  Terrible
to track a conversation that way.

Earphones are the devil.  I hang stuff around my neck or kind of on
top of my head near the ears at times (when alone, because hey -
that's weird).  They really need to work on something that is better
than earphones.  The simple physics of it tell you it is horrible.

But to be young and indestructible again.
