End of an (ridiculously lengthy) era

I just read about the death of Wolfgang Wagner, Richard Wagner's grandson. He died on Sunday and he was 90 years old. I found this out through Alex Ross's blog, Unquiet Thoughts. It is strange to think that this guy was walking around after 8 generations or something. He called Adolf Hitler Uncle Wolf.

    And those NAMES! I didn't realize that RW's son was actually named Seigfied. This whole 'era' was like its own giant ring cycle.
