Is wanting to share your passions "normal" in a relationship???

I am one of those "artistic type" people. I sing well and am in the process of trying to get a band together to perform locally. I write poetry. And I write essays and articles as a freelance writer. I am also a college student at the ripe old age of 32 years old thanks to the modern internet. I am a repository of music trivia, songs, song data, and am an extremely eclectic cornecopea of knowledge on lyrics, singers, information pertaining to the performance and appreciation of music. From 50's and 60's soul to the 1980's era Pop. I have had my heavy metal and thrash metal phase while in my teens and I still will listen to some of that music now. What I have learned about myself is that I love to share my love of music and the beauty of human emotion as displayed in music. I love all genres of music and I can rap, freestyle, do hip-hop, duets, origional musical pieces, and I even sing Gershwin and Rogers & Hammerstein movie tunes from The King and I, The sound of Music, Mary Poppins, etcetera. While the man that I am with admittedly is not a musical afficianado, he is tone deaf, he cannot sing, and he missed the entire 80's, 90's, all the way through 2004 when he met me. Music unless it was gospel music interested him not a whit Although every boyfriend that I have ever been with has always encouraged me to sing and perform, whether they had any singing talent at all (most could do the appreciation, but were completely lacking in the talent and ability to do more than listen to music) I find myself expressing my mood and my knowledge and musical skills to share great songs with my boyfriends. I think that white middle aged 35-45 years old guys, really NEEd and appreciation of music in the Pop,Hip - Hop, alternative, and rock genres. If they don't they'll get one anyway. Do you try to share things that you are passionate about with your lovers and loved ones too?
