A discriminating listener or viewer will indeed be selective by definition. My original gripe was that a third person would try to decide whether one was a music lover or photography lover based on the variety of types of music, medium, subject matter or lenses used. That's a subjective judgement. I can think someone is a horrible artist, yet he may love art immensely. In the case of music and art, there is such a wide variety of styles, as has been pointed out, that it is near improbable that anyone could truly love every single type of music or art and not dislike anything. But one can appreciate music and art even if it is that which one doesn't truly love. But I'm in agreement that there are many artists whose work is so awful, I can't appreciate it either and choose to ignore it entirely. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
