Over the Memorial Day weekend, I made my annual trek to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway along with my father, brother and wife, and we watched the Indy 500.  Now, the 500 is many things.  Many things--with loud ranking very high on that list.  (An opportunity to see Jim "Gomer Pyle" Neigbors and Florence "Mrs. Brady" Henderson ranks pretty high, too.)

We always have ear plugs at the ready for the whoosh of sound following those famous words, "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines."  While impactful, that initial sound is nothing compared to the noise created when the green flag is dropped.  That roar is one you feel as well as hear, and even with ear plugs, it's L-O-U-D.

But this year I barely noticed the sound of the Indy cars racing by.  With all the ado of the big race, my tinnitus decided it wanted to compete, too.  And with nary a pitt stop to give it a well-deserved rest, in regards to cacophonous volume, my tinnitus took the checkered flag and drank the milk.

Basically what I'm trying to say (and kids, this would be the time to check out the latest kitten video on youtube, as I'm about to use a bad word), sometimes, and it's happening more and more frequently, my tinnitus drives me f--ing crazy. 

Phew.  Getting that off my chest (at least for now), some "crazy" tunes to enjoy.  (Note:  None of these were earworms.  But they are great songs.)
