    good point. :)

    I guess I mean could you fall in love with the person if you weren't in love with their music?

    and what if you just didn't want to hear their music all the time?

    probably not. i find most musicans practice, practice, practice...incessantly...at home.....so yea, if i didn't enjoy it, i would probably go mad.


    for the record my husband is a musician, not originals though....and overall we have very, very similar tastes in music, probably one of our biggest bonding factors. he's an awesome bass player and sure, sexy too ;)...but hell yea, if he were playing top 40 BS or country.......:eek: even now, with similar tastes his band plays some songs i really don't enjoy and when he practices them too much, i let him know. :p



    and sure, you could fall in love with the person. live with them? maybe not. :D
    Stay with me...

    yeah I grew up in a musical household...totally get what you are saying there.

    but I was thinking more in terms of their original stuff, their "art" if you will. is it an extension of themselves that is so connected to them it can't be separated?

    the lyric from a song by mid-1990s Canadian alternative rock band Pluto comes to mind.....

    well again, i don't know. i am a visual artist, although have not really been doing much as of late. i think my husband can love me and not my art. :)


    i REALLY think is just how much of it encompasses your life? how much will it be a part of, or infringe upon, the relationship? whether a musican, a writer, painter, etc.....really anything that is a BIG passion in your life, depends how much it is INVOLVED in your relationship, and also how much of an appreciation your partner has for it, or not.


    to me, it's far better for all involved if there is a shared love there. however, i imagine it's possible for it to be tolerated w/o real appreciation, although would be difficult. to me, better to find a better match.


    so sure, if it's your ART...your love...your passion, it would be very important imo to love the musician and the music.


    btw - even w/o original work...there is art, and passion and love, in technique. ;) besides, you still have to listen to it. :p

    Yes, my poor wife. We have band practice at my house... and by that I mean we smoke too much herb, drink too much booze, and make way too much noise. She must be a saint.

    sure, why not? as long as they like the same genre of music i like, and as long as they don't screw groupies, then i'm cool with that.

    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Well this is the thing-- I'm sure if you're like some of my girlfriends and couldn't care less about music and have no appreciation for it, then you could probably be with any musician, no problem.

    But all of us here are pretty big music fans, no? For me, rock music has driven my entire life (and is really my true love before any man) so would someone's music be large part of my feelings toward them...???

    Kidrock always seems to have a date so it must be possible.

    Another good point. But would they tell them if they didn't like it?

    oh it's not really a specific person, a specific person just brought the question to my mind. I had formed a little "crush" if you will on a local musician, but never intending to ask him out or anything. his music is ok, and he's got a nice voice and stuff, but it's not really my thing, it's like very soft singer/songwritery (and I could be totally off but may have some influence of DMB in there). So I just got thinking, like what impact someone's music would have on how you feel toward them.

    well i used to date a guy who played shred metal in a band... it didn't really bother me, i went to gigs and such. It's not really my taste in music, but i still loved him a lot. I don't think it makes much difference really!
  • PJGARDENPJGARDEN Posts: 1,484
    In the beginning I think you will love their music no matter how bad it is b/c you always think everything about the other person is cute for a couple of months. So what do you do when you "wake up" one day and realize your spending all your time in hick bars???? I don't think I could do it.

    If he's really a great person maybe I could learn to love his music one day.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    so if she was a sexy redhead with big boobies and was the sweetest person ever, you still wouldn't?
