Quote:As for Hendrix giving you a headache, you may want to try listening to him at a lower volume.
When the previous song on the radio at the same volume wasn't giving me a headache, it's not the volume that's the problem. You said to each his own earlier, but now you seem offended that I don't like Hendrix.

I am not offended that you don't like Hendrix. If you literally mean that you get a headache, you should listen with the volume turned down. If you are being metaphorical, that you just don't like him, then turning down the volume would be irrelevant.
I personally like Hendrix, but only when I am in the right mood for him. I can listen to something like Bach's Brandenburg Concertos pretty much any time, but Hendrix only sometimes. In the wrong frame of mind or wrong mood, Hendrix would be unpleasant.
And, again, I am not offended if you don't like Hendrix.
