Separate the Art from the artist. For instance, tomorrow is the bicentennial of the birth of Richard Wagner. He despised Judeo-Christianity influenced the Nazis with his racialist theories and celebrated pagan culture and carnal love in his operas. We still celebrate his music.

True. Why should we? Especially in the case of Wagner.

I’ve drawn the line at pop and classic rock, which is clearly a promoter of evil, in my view.

I wondered why I never liked his music, but I love Bach. Now I know. Music speaks.
