Don't mistake me about Wagner. He's sometimes appropriate, but seldom for me I find. Like a stretch limo: they look shiny and ostentatious and gigantic, but I'd not wish to ride in that automobile-penis-extension more than once a decade. So, I meant MUSICALLY a dick...uhm...I think.
If we want levels of personally dick-ish but whose work I appreciate, then Ezra Pound is pretty difficult to top.
I agree about composer's personalities not affecting their music. Wagner's music is rather fantastic. The first time I heard/saw the Ring Cycle (on BBC2 over a week) I was pretty blown away. As long as Wagner's political views never influenced his music then I'm okay with it.

However, two weeks until the Anime Society 48 hours Showdown. So I hope to regain my title when the time comes.
