It absolutely terrifies me to think that this sentence is grammatically correct.

Not so sure about all this as this ad popped up with this post as if trying to drop a hint that all is not well in gramma tickle land.

Well, you see, Bob, it's like this ... When you play loud for a long time, you start to hyperventilate, and the excess oxygen does the same thing to the slowest and weakest brain cells as beer does (although the mechanism is the opposite -- rather than poisoning them, it makes them burn up). Naturally, as they burn, they produce flashes of light. Because these flashes of light are caused by breathing in excess oxygen, they are known as "flashes of inspiration." And that, Bob, is why you always play better after a few loud long tones.

And.......
That light-headed feeling you get is the result of having shed the weight of all those slow, useless brain cells which were burned as explained by Kevin. A great way to improve your brain is to drink PLENTY of beer while practicing a lot of long, low loud notes.
I used to be rather buffaloed by what was happening but have now reached enlightenment by having achieved the maximum possible level of intra-cranial combustion.
