Simon Cowell Rarely Listens To Music For “Pleasure”

BMG music exec and American Idol rarely listens to music outside of the workplace:
“(I can) go weeks without listening to music for pleasure. If you work at a fish and chip shop, it’s unlikely you’re going to eat fish and chips at night. The idea of sitting in an audition room for 14 hours then putting on my iPod – it’s like, ‘No! I can’t do it.’”
