LOL but yeah it is.

Johann Strauss (who did the very first musical light show) was a man of scandal who divorced his second wife and brazenly lived openly with another woman for some time before finally marrying her. It was so shocking that he lost his Austrian citizenship over it.

The man was the first international musical superstar doing tours, selling out shows, performing before a crowd of 100,000 and the whole bit. You know that and the guy becomes a bit more interesting.

So you could say that Johann Strauss is like the Bill Clinton of composers...

I guess he liked being in the limelight.
