Bob Schneider with a younger Alan Cohen

There's a quote in today's USA Today from our very own Bob Schneider. The article is about how iPods are causing us to lose our hearing...cuz you can like...turn 'em up to 120 freakin' decibels!

"...There are just some songs you want to rock out on," says iPod user and Texas musician Bob Schneider, 40, who has been performing for 17 years and concedes he probably has some hearing damage. "At this stage of the game, I still play the music pretty loud. I can still hear pretty well, but that might be a whole different story when I'm 60."

"By then, it might be too late for Schneider or families such as the Nelsons who sometimes listen to their MP3s more than three hours a day...."

The article goes on to say...

"...Using earphones for hours at high volumes basically causes "shock and awe..."

There you have it! Bob was simply shocked and in awe when this took place!
