14. I go to classical concerts and opera.

When I can afford it. I haven't been to any other sort of concert in decades. I have heard some blues and some rock, but that was only because they happened to be playing at a bar I was at.

There are plenty of people who prefer classical music.

Bach rules! So do Mozart, Shostakovich, Ives, and Bartok. Many others as well. The classical music well is deep. One could dip into it all day every day and never get to the bottom of it.

So, as I wouldn't malign people for their taste in music, please don't malign mine. Whatever you like, that's cool with me. Go for it.
