    personally, not only do I love this, but I am extremely satisfied in knowing that Wagner the man would be absolutely HORRIFIED at the thought of his style being mashed up with that of a Russian-Jewish-origin composer who wrote in styles originated by Black Americans. anyway this is great and you just got yourself a new subscriber.

    Oh, then I can relate. But why me? Last time it was all about you. How can a lance can hurt so much? … Shit.
    No, Isolde, that's Gershwin.
    A matter of taste, ain't it? - however improbable. It ain't always necessarily be Gershwin, Tristan.
