Today a client friend of mine told me, “you’re too old to rock n roll”
He said this after I explained to him that I have some hearing problems this past week because I must have pushed some extra crap into my ear with all the ear plugs I’ve been wearing at my band shows. Gross yeah? I’m going to see the doctor today to flush my head out.
As a result, I’ve been a crabby old man. Seriously, now I understand why some of the elderly can be crabby. I can only hear out of one ear so I’m talking extra loud and when someone says something to me I end up just nodding my head a lot pretending like I heard what they said. “What?!”
Am I getting to old? The other day the bouncer at the club door did a double-take when he looked at my driver’s license. He looked at the card, looked at my face, looked at the card…. finally let me in. I can either take that as a compliment that I don’t look as old as the card says I am, or he’s really shocked at how an old guy like me actually shows up at the club.
I’ll pretend it’s the former.
UPDATE: Apparently it turns out it wasn’t ear wax at all. I have some kind of condition where my ear drum is stuck up in its back socket or something like that. Maybe they can do something about that but it could mean possible surgury. /sigh. Meanwhile it feels like I have one ear that’s permanently stuffy like I just hopped off a plane.
