Well, since the opera are in german and I only know about acht words in German, the lyrics certainly won't hurt me if they have some "bad" motive. The music itself is better than anything heavy metal could put out today.

Ever seen "amadeus"? Seeing it, do i like Mozart's music any less? Not really, cause if i wanted to concern myself with these guys' opinions, I would read their letters to the editor, not listen to their music.

Of course, anyone who would listen to the "Ride" and be subconsciously inspired to kill jews has bigger problems then Wagner ever did.

Also, if we "ban" music because of the opinions of the composer, aren't we no better than the society Wagner supported?
