I
\nknow this is cultural suicide, for me to admit that I can’t stand the
\nfucking noise anymore. I have friends who are kissing their mid-40’s
\nwho’ve decided, out of desperation and fear of death, that they’re 22
\nyears old forever, and could ya turn it UUUUUPP??? Whoooo! They’ll
\nsacrifice clarity of thought and peace of mind and a lot of other shit
\nso they can fool themselves into thinking they’re still riding the
\ncrest of the Youth Wave. <\/font><\/p>\n

Fucking
\nidiots. I can’t wait to be an old man. And to speed that process along,
\nI’ve got my pair of Howard Leight earplugs and a pair of Bose
\nnoise-canceling headphones. ‘Cuz I’m in revolt. ‘Cuz I DON’T WANT TO
\nHEAR IT.

Hey,
\nwhen you’re twenty, and still young and sexy, it’s a good thing to have
\nthe music loud. ‘Cuz you’re not going to impress anyone by saying
\nsomething startling or original or truly funny. That’s the age when you
\nrely on your looks. Or, if you look the way I did at twenty, you become
\na comedian, so you have a spotlight on you and a microphone in front of
\nyour yap, so you have a fighting chance.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
