Gosh maybe I'm a fool but I love to wear my walkman skiing, or rollerskating,
or doing many other physical activities.  Need we be so conservative we don't
take chances?  How loud do you crank your car stereo?  How loud do you crank
your walkman?  

I agree that wearing a walkman while bicycling can be dangerous, I absolutely
don't do it in the city.  And since I almost always wear a helmet it is
difficult to ever listen to the walkman.  But on a few occasions I have decided
it would be nice to have the extra oomph that a nice rythmic beat can deliver
and have worn my walkman.  Gee, I lived!

Boys just want to have fun,
