Thanks MarvinStinson. This is under the Oh So Mysteriouso heading in GGG, and it's creepy for anyone who hadn't noticed. The SS had its own rites, such as one purportedly called "The Ceremony of the Stifling Air". Oh, and there used to be an unwritten rule in Israeli broadcasting -- no Wagner, ever. Sidebars -- when Henry Kissinger was in charge of one of the US-occupied postwar German towns, he introduced or reintroduced music by Jewish composers (including George Gershwin) to the local airwaves; and somewhere around here I've got a CD of wartime German big-band covers of big-band music written in the US.
