Blood makes noise
If the lyric-fragment "blood makes noise" is running around in your head, it is probably because you are worried about going deaf.
In an immediate sense, this is an on-going concern because I constantly get blocked ears - ikky wax builds up which reduces my hearing. Over Christmas, I used ear candles for the first time. Jury is still out on how useful they are, but they seemed to work.
Taking the long term view, it signals a concern about growing old. Old and deaf. Old and crotchety. Old and fretful, forgetful, forgettable.
Not mortality, although that lurks back there somewhere, too, I guess.
Of course, for the 99.99% of you that don't have 'blood makes noise' running around in your head, this isn't a worry.
In other news, Misfits is great!
And the background text in the Cowboy Bebop opening can be found at the Jazz Messengers, if you ever need it (under miscellaneous).
