Saw the Kinks with Johnny COugar opening in 1980 at the Nassau Coliseum.

Cept I was 17 and forgot to tell my parents I was going and had 6th row seats.

Also, I had been pretending to "not hear" my mother, rip, who was royally raving nuts, whenst she spoke upon me.

ALot of "hah?" and waving of hands.

That sort of thing.

Anyhoo, unbenownst to me, momma had scheduled a hearing test with an audiologist at LIJ HMO for me for the very next day, which, due to the insane volume the Kinks played at those days, I thusly failed with flying colors. My ears were still ringing from the night before. I dint tell Mama I was at a concert, remember.

Momma cried.

Then, I had to tell her the truth, the ignoring her, the concert, the whole thing, to make her happy again, which I did.

She was as pleased.... as a mental patient could be.


Miss you Mama.

Then, during post 9/11 testing I was told I'm pretty deaf in both Ears for real, which my wife and kids knew for years and were pretty ****** tired of.

Oh the iron.

True story.
