Too loud?
The QOTD this morning gave me a laugh. Rock concerts are loud. They’re supposed to be. That promoters would stage one in a venue that has noise restrictions is funny. That someone thinks they could have enforced those restrictions is even funnier. 73 decibels? Deep Purple’s record was 117 decibels. The Rolling Stones are not a particularly loud band but I think all rock bands are louder than 73 decibels. I think the city workers assigned to monitor this event were pure window dressing for the local residents. My guess is those sound monitors were instructed to disregard their meters and let the show go on. Or maybe they’ll just fine the promoters $100 or so.
I linked to this entry from Pitcherlady two years ago today. It is still a classic.
Injuries are part of football but death shouldn’t be. Thoughts with the Herrion family.
Lawrence Phillips had a lot talent and a lot of demons. No sympathy here.
6 days until CFFL Draft Day (Go Ragpickers), and 17 days until football season (Go Saints) begins...............
Quote of the Day
If the sound level breaks 73 decibels, the promoters of the concert will be asked to turn down the sound.

A rock blog with a picture of Donna Summer on it. Not something you see every day. -Rob
And if it hadn't been for you Rob, approximately three people would've read that post! Thanks.
I hope more than three saw it.
