Just about every night I can find a good band at one of the squares that I can dance and enjoy. Uncle Bob's Rock Shop at the top of the list, but there are plenty of others.
Keep on Rocking in TV!

I'm with you........rock on...

The Music is great and not at all too loud. It's entertainment!

I wear ear plugs in movies as I find them too loud.

We tried watching Dunkirk. NOISE, and the movie editing was really poorly done. Anyone with Ship Smarts would see the total discrepancies in the movie. I asked a lady manager, why the noise? She said? "Because of the dialog?
What? We tried Kleenex in our ears. Left early and surely will not be back to that theater. In another town, with the same situation, we talked to the manager and he gave us a refund. What is it with noise these days? Ugh. Note: Your ears have a limit folks!!

I don't know why everything is so loud these days but I refuse to put up with it. For example, I walked out of our son's wedding reception because the band was too loud. I also walked out of the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation for the same reason.

At Toojays last week, members of the wait staff were talking too loud right behind my seat, so I got up and moved to another table. On several occasions, I have told the manager of a restaurant that their music is too loud and I have walked out if they do not lower it enough.

We were invited to join a few other couples at Evans Prairie one evening but I found the Rocking Relics were playing and they were too loud. I dropped off my wife and went back home to get the ear protectors I use when I mow our lawn. Then I came back, enjoyed my dinner, and even enjoyed the music wearing my ear protectors.

My favorite Jesus quote is, "If they eye offend thee, pluck it out." In other words, if something irritates you, remove it from your life. Being retired is great.

I want to preserve the hearing I have left. For years I played drums professionally, flew general aviation planes and shot some very loud rifles, shotguns and handguns all at some cost to my hearing. No thanks, no more.
