My fuzzy line as far as the music hovers around Wagner. I don't think I'd like his music even if he wasn't a wretched person, but I also think that you might have to have had totalitarian impulses to write music like Wagner's. If Wagner posessed all of his views and didn't let it inform his opera the way it does, I'd be much more open to listening to his music. (Disclaimer: I've mostly heard excerpts, and he does have lovely moments.)
The same thing goes for racist and sexist authors -- if the racism finds its way into the heart book, I'm not going to let it inform me very much, nor pursue more from that author.

Congratulations on the co-op placement!
