10. I learned a long time ago to always start a rock a concert with cotton stuffed in my ears.

Most of the time, the band could be heard just fine through cotton, but it will muffle the loudest sounds.

I learned to do this as a fan of the band Rush.

The warmup bands would blow my ears out before Rush would even hit the stage.
