  • James Lachman from Cincinnati OhWhen I was 6, in 1971, after a very painful earache I had a myringatomy performed on my ears (ear tubes). Immediately afterwards loud noises hurt my ears. To this day I do not like live music or loudly played music. However there is one exception. On a very rare occasion, far rarer than a blue moon, I have that universal yearning to listen to loud music... So loud that certain songs will make my hairs on my arms stand up. So I'll break out my computer and headphones and listen to about 20 or so songs that inexplicably transcend me to pure auditory pleasure (albeit temporarily) akin to a trance. One of the four songs that I must listen to, due to this rare magical conjunction of soul and music, are Led Zepplin's "Kashmir," Jamelia's "Superstar," RD Burman's "Mehbooba Mehbooba," and finally Jennifer Paige's "Crush." Why? I have no idea why these songs are like drugs to me but they are... Thank you Jennifer Paige. I love your song and hopefully in the future it will remain prescription free and unregulated by the government.
