The Sound and the Fury



December 24, 2019

I saw “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker” last night. I actually like it better in retrospect than I did at the time.

Part of the reason for that is that I was assaulted by sound—even wearing though I was wearing earplugs. I really couldn’t concentrate on anything. And I don’t see how other people could stand it, especially young kids.

We’ve got laws about putting kids in car seats, but whatever laws there are about protecting them from damaging sound levels aren’t working. I think we need better ones.

If I want to get lawmakers interested, maybe I should figure out a way to tie the issue to sports.*
