Sure, you can force yourself to enjoy jazz, and soloists who play a ton of outside 'random' notes, but why would you want to do that?
However, if you really do want to try to get into that style, that's fine too.

It's not a question of whether he likes it or not, it's whether or not he can understand what's happening... just because you don't like the sound of a language doesn't mean that the ability to process it is a worthless skill.
And ultimately, personal opinions aren't worth much unless they're informed by a deeper comprehension of the subject - how can you really ever know if you dislike something if you can't express in specific terms what it is that you dislike?
Statements like 'it seems like there is no rhythm at all' or 'hitting quite a few random notes' show that the problem is not necessarily Griffith's subjectivity, but rather, his inability to process - there is nothing random about this music.
