Pete Townshend has a nasty case of tinnitus that pretty much has rendered him deaf.
“But when you are over 70 the clock is at 11:30 pm.”
I’m 85——————I guess I’m past midnight.

That's when the good parties start!
Are you going to let it all hang out?
Losing my hearing and suffering with tinnitus after 35 years of wearing headphones on a daily basis at a radio station.
When the sheriff brings you home, don’t shoot him or the deputy.
.....growing up, my Grandmother played all sorts of piano. It was nothing for her to go into a restaurant and after a meal play a few songs ( if invited)
and get a round of applause..*smiles* I know later on in her life how much she missed playing after arthritis crippled her hands.

I saw Eric , Phil Colin’s , and Robert Cray at a small venue in 1988 , I think . I was in the second row and it was a blues fan dream .
1971. Ten Years After at The Warehouse in New Orleans. My ears still ring.
Stop that!
Sharif don’t like it!
Rock ‘n Roll never forgets...

I’m 72, and retired from playing several years ago. I’m a pedal steel guitarist, and you have to have very accurate hearing to play stringed instruments that don’t have frets. Steel guitars, violins etc.. My hearing is still good to about 3 cents, and when I hear someone singing flat, it drives me crazy! I attribute my loss and tinnitus to always sitting in front of the drummer on small stages. Those ride cymbals are killers even though we didn’t play that loud.
I understand but realize that it was worth it. It was all worth it.
Yes it is. Rock on as long as we can.
I read an article on MSN this morning where he was apologizing for his racist past. I didn’t have time to post it and it’s a pain in the butt trying to do it from my phone.
Very interesting side of him I never heard of before.
Saw EC four times in his prime 1977 - 1985 in So Cal back when Carl Radel (before he died) and Yvonne Elliman we’re with the band. Seems like Duck Dunn was on one tour as well.
