be kind to your friends and except their musical interests. You do not have to like them but when you are with them act like you like their music and listen to your music at home. Do not extenuate the fuel to the fire, just be accepting of their interests. I was very accepting of my ex-husbands taste and accepting whatever was dished out, but i would save my money and gift cards and purchase my own music. Of course i would have to listen to it when i was cleaning or alone because nobody liked it. There was one time my son had to buy a birthday present for someone and i told him to ask what genre the person liked and than i took him down and he purchased it for his friend and noted the ones he liked and SANTA delivered. My ex-husband would join these cd clubs and most people that use these clubs know how to work them, and i would look over the inserts and pick my tastes and make my list for future reference. Rarely, did I ask him to purchase my taste but was accepted of his-and most of his tastes were similar. He would and still does try to learn the music to play on his guitar. He is a wonderful guitar player and perfects it. He would and could be a wonderful guitar teacher but has to learn to be patient and learn order. Those inserts on those clubs I would ask him on some musicians and he would sometimes play them or i would go to the music store and inquire about them or ask them to play them to listen to them. It wasn’t an impulse purchase yet, it was a matter of elimination. Some music you like one song and the rest you can do without. So essentially you do not purchase it. I would always read the cd insert to read the words, where they are recorded and whom the people are and the instruments they play on the particular songs. Just be accepting of friends different choices of music genre. It is a life long learning process to be accepting of peoples different interests.
