Why don't we tire of music?


So, there’s a lot of smart folk’s on this site, and I’ve been wondering why people never grow tired of listening to music. For example, we don’t read the same book over and over, nor do we watch the same TV show or movie over and over.  But, we never get tired of listening to the same music.  Why is this?  What is it in our mentally that allows this to happen?  Just curious...  Thanks!

As has2be says, yeah it seems most folks regard music as comfort food. Putting it another way, while there are certainly a good deal of adventurous listeners, most listeners aren't. And yeah, that's perfectly OK. I gotta say, though, that I do get my share of cheap chuckles out of posters whose tastes don't seem to stretch much further than Led Zeppelin.
