Jazz listening has dulled my taste for Rock...you?


Since seeing Ken Burns Jazz series, and beginning to listen to, and appreciate Jazz... I find that I no longer find Rock music to be very interesting. Compared to Jazz, the music is BORING! The very best of Rock can still hold my attention a bit, but generally Rock is just too primitive and 'simple' compared to Jazz.
Classical music is so different, and has such different rules, that I still find it very appealing, but Rock... bleeh!!! (sorry Rock fans... and I'm not trolling, I really wonder if anyone else has had this happen!)

Oh Elizabeth, this is just another phase you're going through, just like the piercings the Goth outfits, and the Donny Osmond posters. You have to admit now that you were never really 'in love with him!'

Actually the older I get the more I believe that if you don't enjoy all music you don't enjoy music. I refer to good quality, well played music, not just some crappy knock-off of any particular style. My tastes have broadened over the years to include many things I did not enjoy before.

I listened to Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway last night. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I ever had those two on the CDP in such close proximity. Before that I listened to ELO, so what does it all mean?!?

As long as the racoon and I are happy, I guess it doesn't matter.
