Going to a Concert |

My wife was kind enough to buy me a ticket to a concert next week to a big heavy metal band. We have new friends who are a huge fans of this band. Not only are they fans, but they worked a college radio station and DJ’d the equivalent of MTV’s older Headbanger’s Ball. I actually love the band, so I’m excited. However, so many thoughts are going through my head on this one…
- I haven’t been to a concert in five years. At 31 am I too old for such a heavy metal band? If I think logically, there will surely be many people who are older, but going with a group that is 25 does make me feel older than I am.
- What do I do about the noise? I bought these earplugs
for my wife to use at work. You’ll notice that they are pink and yellow. They will go in great contrast with the black that everyone will be wearing. I know I shouldn’t think about such things and just use the earplugs to save my hearing. However, there are times when I’m not comfortable in social situations and the combination of new friends, being the old guy, and wearing funny ear plugs will test me. I will use the ear plugs and be stronger for the experience.
- I wish my wife would go with me. She’s a great comfort to me in social situations when I’m feeling uncomfortable panic attacks creep up. Unfortunately, she’ll be out of town. She also doesn’t like the heavy music that will be played there.
It should be an interesting experience. I hope my ears come back in tact.

I use those ear plugs at work; we keep cases of them on our production floor. They work really well.
I also have some huge gun range style ear muffs, but since I don’t sit 3 feet from the server rack anymore I leave those at home for when I use the shop vac or mow the lawn.
I’d protect your hearing; as someone that occasionally goes blind, I’m paranoid about going deaf.
