    Great stuff. I heard a little “Flight of the Valkyries” during a Panda Express commercial this weekend. I wonder how much Wagner will trickle into mass culture with his bicentennial next year.

    You Wagners have to stick together, I guess. Rheingold the dry beer is my beer. Not bitter, not sweet, it’s the dry-tasting treat. Won’t you try, when you buy, Rheingold beer.
    Dreadful stuff, but my mother used to set her hair with it.
