Nope, good for me. I love music, was raised in a musical family. I play the piano, love classical, semi-classical, opera, operettas, music of the forties and most country/western. I post frequently on the FR classical music thread.
I just don't like the "concerts" of today with good musicians but a cacaphony of lighting effects and hideous amplification which serves to hide the undistinguished, near-unlistenable, forgettable "music".
However, to each his own if one prefers the incredible noise, the undecipherable lyrics, the cookie-cutter gyrations of the band's "stars".....plus, if you're lucky, explosions here and there on the stage or a fainting or two in the front row.
When I go to a concert today it's at our very fine performing arts center where they still present music which transports one's brain, not distorts it.

Glad to hear it.
His is talent that transcends genre. Composer/producer; pianist/guitarist. Arranger for Sting's latest album, "The Last Ship."
Above all the man lives his Faith.
Significant understated accomplishments. I have attended his Christmas program for each of the last 18 years.
FReegards!
I saw the Eagles (the band not the football team) at Madison Square Garden. Awesome show!
Check out Il Divo, the four guys that Simon Cowell put together. Beautiful operatic voices and they sing pop songs, among others, have a wonderful sound and aren’t bad to look at. My daughter and I have been to two of their concerts and plan to go to St. Louis in April to the Peabody Opera House to see them again. They have never disappointed us.
