Excellent quote (or paraphrase) Ken. It sums up how I feel about the subject.
Suggestion: If anyone is tired of music, take a vacation. Go somewhere you haven't been before and don't ask ahead of time "where can I find Detroit techno" being played there. Go discover the local flavour. Don't listen to what you listen to at home. Give it up for a week. I promise you when you get back you won't be "tired of music" anymore.
