Non-music lovers

That would be awful...

I've often thought that I'd like to review music professionally, and apart from the fact that I don't think I'd be any good, the thought of losing my love of music because it becomes a job scares me senseless.

That's an interesting point. I had a friend who is a bass player, and whilst he still loves music he can't help but dissect it and note the imperfections in the way it's played.

It would be interesting to see how someone who is born totally deaf reacts to music the first time they are able to hear it - say after some corrective surgery or something like that. Wonder if there are any such cases?? Would make an interesting conversation.

It might be similar to people who are born blind. My understanding is that their dreams don't contain images and that - when they see after an operation, say - it's overwhelming and scary. Perhaps it's the same with sound?

My stepfather doesn't like music. Well, he doesn't like most music. He fixates on one song at a time, and that's all he listens to for a few years. [shudders] Nickelback..... ugh.

my stepdad is like that and likes a song until I discover it, and play it to death

One of my best friends doesn't like music - or reading! She likes to clean her house instead.

I don't get it.

Is she looking for a husband by any chance?

I do not think there can be huge peoples in the class of non music lover .... I think music is the soul of life.
