A meta-musical question

[womzilla]

In a discussion at last night's gaming session, one of my friends said, "Everyone likes music. There's no music that *everyone* likes, but everyone likes *some* music."

And I scoured my brains for a prominent, or even minor, counterexample and couldn't come up with one. supergee suggested President Ulysses S. Grant, who was quoted as saying "I only know two tunes; one is 'Yankee Doodle' and the other isn't." The UK version has Sir William S. Gilbert (of "and Sullivan") saying the same of "God Save the Queen".

So, how about it? Do you know anyone who simply doesn't like music? Are you such a person?

According to Paul Theroux, V.S. Naipaul likes to tell people he hates all music. He does seem to hate most of it, but he turns out to be something of an expert on traditional calypso.
