It’s hard to admit I am getting old. I take a nap daily, I can't stay out late,
drinking doesn’t appeal to me as it once did, I have hearing aids and I sometimes
hurt when I do things I am not used to doing.
I mention this because last night I went to a metal show at the LaCrosse
Center. I used to love going to shows
the louder the better, it all started with my first concert with Motley Crue
opening up for Ozzy back in 84, I have been going to shows ever since. I first saw one of the bands last night back
in 2001 Megadeth played at the Hollywood a few weeks before my twins were
born. In the past few years, not as many
rock shows since there hasn’t really been any, I saw Korn and Disturbed last
year, and a few lesser known bands since then, but none have been as loud and
visually stimulating as the Rob Zombie show last night. I found myself closing my eyes a few times
and looking away from the stage because of the pulsating red and overabundance
of things to look at. I also hate to
admit I was wearing hearing protection during the show, the nice thing is that
my ears didn’t have any new ringing when I got home, just the ringing in my
ears from earlier hearing damage from not wearing the hearing protection. Today back to work, a bit tired, hearing aids
in, glasses on and coffee grasped firmly in hand, I hope my memory isn’t going
next, remind me when is nap time?
