We used to have a member named Don who only listened to Bach organ works for fifteen whole years, which is the standard you should measure yourself against anytime you feel your genre listening might be crossing the line into insanity 

If I'm thinking of the same Don, he also listened to harpsichord music (especially the Goldberg Variations) as well as a smattering of other music.

Bad for Pbgh, bad for New Music.

I had a dream overnight that I was on a video conference call for journalists, where I was trying to interview Klaus Heymann about Naxos at the same time that all the other journalists on the call were trying to interview pop stars about pop music, using the same call 

After the call ended in the dream I kept thinking of more and more questions until my brain got too active and woke me up.
