Very sad to note the passing of such a figure who influenced the sounds
we heard and still hear...

And without whom, many people would be able to hear a lot
better than they can.


People have proven conclusively that by behaving unwisely, they were able to
destroy their hearing with amplifiers that max out in the range of a few
dozen milliwatts.

With technical power often comes the ability to do good or ill, to oneself,
and others.

I'm not ready to criticize Henry Ford for making the automobile more
available to the masses, despite the grievous damage that has been done with
them.
