When I'm not playing music, certainly the last thing I want to do is listen to music!
Whenever I hear a baby cry, I cringe.
I can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard!
I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.
I don't even like hearing my own voice on an answering machine.
I don't appreciate avant-garde, electronic music. It makes me feel quite ill.
I always hated jazz guitar. I loved jazz saxophone but I hated jazz guitar. If I would buy an organ trio record I would make sure I'd buy one that did not have a guitar player on it. The sound was awful!
There was a time when I couldn't watch sitcoms for a while because it was just cacophony, it was just noise.
