Yeah I know. I used to go to bed at night after playing in a small club, with 
visions of an open E guitar chord dancin' and ringin' in my ears. Dangerous.
 I heard a rumor that Jeff Beck is nearly completely deaf and in constant pain 
from that affliction. I  would* never* shoot a round of Sporting Clays without 
foam plugs, and I always wear them at soundcheck. Although I don't always 
wear them during a show. I can't wait till our band goes to Future Sonics 
in-ear 
monitors!
