“I only listen to praise music. I feel most in touch with God when I listen to it. My body and soul feel exhiliarated…”
•
“I only listen to music on the radio–whatever is on the radio. I mean, do you wanna know what station I listen to? Oh. Well, it’s kinda indies meets oldies.”
•
“I don’t like music. I don’t own any, and when it is playing in a room, I choose to not listen to it. Music is simply annoying.”
•
“The only true contemporary music is largely in Europe. Sadly, America only has Elliott Carter to boast about, and I’ll grant them credit for him. Otherwise I find American contemporary classical music derivative, retrogressive, conservative, and simply uninteresting. I try to avoid confessing this publicly but it IS what I think.”
•
“The only real music is country music. That’s GOD’S music. Everythang else is just shit.”
•
“Music today is so overproduced. There is nothing out these days that’s any good.”
•
“I like nice music. I work all week and have enough stress in my life, so I don’t need to come to concerts and here all that gosh darn squeak squawk jibberish. Give me something with a melody.”
•
“Classical music really stopped after Mahler you know. And I’m being generous. Everything after Stravinsky is, well, need I say more? It’s just nonsense music. Anti-music. And so-called popular music is simply AWful. Dreadful. Just barbaric. That’s why I stay home these days.”
•
“I only go to clubs. I listen to dance music all day long. It’s like, ya know, taking a little part of the club to work on my iPod. Sometimes I like totally break into a sweat imagining myself dancing with Kevin at the club. Sigh…”
•
“I listen to music from the 50s and 60s. There ain’t nothin’ better since then. Tell me one song that’s better ‘n’ anything from that time. I know it all. All the words, all the names of the groups, hell, I can even tell you where I was when i first heard it!”
