In 4th grade, I had a music teacher named Mr. Ikis who, upon assessing my musical aptitude, stated that some people were musically retarded, and I was one of those people. I was heartbroken. I went home and told my mom Mr. Ikis said I was retarded, but this was back in the 80s so she just said to do my best and that was the end of it. So anyway, that’s why I don’t like music.
