re: What is it with people who don't like music?

I'm over trying to think everyone should like the same things.

I don't necessarily disagree, but music is pretty basic.

I now learned that this guy doesn't like art at any level so he's a "no."

I was watching Everybody Loves Raymond reruns and there's an episode where Fred Willard's character says he's never had a muffin and Marie looks at him and says "you've never had a muffin???"

This is how I felt. "You don't ever look at great photographs?" No. "You don't like any paintings?" "No." "What about Western art?" I tried every art form I could think of, every form of music.

He watches Arkansas football.

He can't be fixed (and not because of the Razorback football )

I do find it exceptionally odd that he's never found a genre, band, or even a handful of songs that put him in a mood. Whether it be a rockin' mood, sad, angry, introspective, nostalgic, what have you. I consider myself somewhat of a "music guy", and I like the sound of someone saying they could do without music a lot more than those people who talk about how they eat and breathe music. About how each song puts them on a spiritual journey. That always just drips of tryhard bullshitting to me.

Almost every response has been about people thinking he's some kind of animal torturing rapist. Give me a break. I personally don't like movies much unless I'm in a theater and can watch them without distraction. I also think a good TV show is just way better and more compelling than most movies. I would even go as far as to say I dislike at least 50% of the movies I've ever seen. That doesn't make me some kind of psychopath. It's just entertainment.

Not a person I'd want to hang with, and especially never date. Have to be one soulless mofo to not like music.

I just can't understand how someone can "just not like music." I love reading and movies, but I can understand how some could feel differently. But music? I honestly can't recall being around a person that didn't like music of some sort. At the very least.
