The audience reaction is telling.

To Quote Brent / @MexicanDragon : "Yes".

Does live Political Musical Theater count as live music? (There was a live band providing the music) Saw the San Francisco Mime Troupe Present "Back to the way things were" In Mill Valley. We had snacks. And the 5 person cast put on an entertaining, and thought provoking, show. Comrade. https://www.marinij.com/2022/07/13/theater-review-san-francisco-mime-troupe-battles-robber-barons-onstage-in-the-parks/

Mine are so old school they were called ER20's ( with the stems, unlike the new fangled stemless ER20XS's ) You know, from the before times, when I might consider remaining in a crowded enclosed venue, for an extended period, while being encouraged to engage in strenuous breathing by chants of "make some noise" , or "I can't hear you", fun. Or maybe thats just me. I notice on https://www.etymotic.com/hearing-protection/ that the non Brents can now avail themselves of not just the plebian PRO's https://www.etymotic.com/product/music-pro/ but the 1%'er (upcoming?) PRO ELITE's https://www.etymotic.com/product/music-pro-elite/ Have they left room in the marketing space for the Apple compatible MAX PRO ULTRA ELITE's ? ( or some non copyright infringing combination / ordering of those superlatives)

Compare to this non critic Also , when the going gets tough in Old Corte Madera You need the ultimate in outdoor picnic gear.

Glad you spotted that "Easter egg". The motion blur should tell you she was running in front of the stage, and hence max spl. But kids eh, what do they know?

Condolences to you and your family Chris. Joanne lost her mother in part to vascular dementia and Alzheimer's, and my mother is on a similar journey. It is a cruel disease, taking part of the essence of your loved ones. #FuckDementia indeed.

A one-off Bob Dylan recording could sell for £1m "I don't look at this as a replacement for anything," he says. "I just look at it as another arrow in the quiver for every musician in the world [and] a whole new way of earning a living that we've never had before." https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-62054616
