so i should spend several years listening to music i don't like, and if i
happen to pick the right people to listen to, i then will find i don't like
any of the music that i like now.

what a deal.

truth be told, i like some jazz.  and some classical, and some of lots of
other kinds of music.  i don't see any of them as superior or inferior.  it
either moves me or it doesn't.
