   Of course! That's another reason why I want to play concerts!

   I'd *like* to believe that Dangerous sound levels will go away, but I'll   
   keep the earplugs handy just in case.   
      
   Terrorist attacks...to reduce dangerous sound levels?

   When they can't sell things to those who have in one way or another, have to   
   TRY them first, it might  give them cause to think about it - I already   
   have, many times, but then I'm not a Zombie ;)

   Electric is great, only problem is with the power source.

   I'm for getting rid of cities altogether ;)

   Maybe the use of headphones would solve that, because those who *want* their   
   hearing damaged can have it without endangering anyone else's hearing ;)

   Dropped the level about 3 dB, no big deal. I like the power *necessary* to   
   fill the *volume* of the venue, that's where the term "volume" really comes   
   from, and why the volume control can be cranked *counterclockwise" as it can   
   clockwise.

   Not really because 122 dB was NOT stated at being that level at WHAT   
   distance.   
      
   gotta run .... somehing came up.

   I'd still like to the HONEST parameters! But since Bose-O is NOT honest,   
   preferring to deal in Silly Gimmicks, I wonder if they'll ever tell.   
      
   Too band I don't have access to the lab I once had - they I'd measure it   
   myself and publish my findings!
