I believe it was pete townsend. Its happened to a great number of musicians.
I really don't think people who where earplugs are pussies or wimps, its just
that they valur their hearing. I've tried wearing earplugs at shows but I found
it to be somewhat uncomfortable. Now, I typically try to stay a rational distance
away from the speakers. I love music too much to let one show blow it for me.
