re: #40 Buck

There are people who do not listen to Wagner because it offends the holocaust survivors in their lives.

This is a very interesting thread.

Can anyone see the similarity with the “Promoting/listening to Wagner” and the “Linking to sites that have political beliefs we find repugnant”?

Wagner had nothing to do with the Holocaust. Wagner was not a nazi, and did not promote nazi-like ideas. He may have expressed some anti-Semitic attitudes that were typical for the mid 19th century, which were probably shared by other composers and artists who lived at the same time.
