Has there been an artist who you disapprove of their actions or opinions? Did it change the way you feel or behaved in regards to that artist and their work?
Background
Wagner’s operas often contained social and political ideas– his opera, “Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg” is viewed as monument to German political and cultural nationalism. Not only was Wagner a German Nationalist by expressing the stories of his country, he unfortunately, was a well-documented anti-Semitism. He wrote personal essays that document this. Additionally, after Wagner was dead, the Nazis used his music to promote their own racial and social agendas as his music highlighted Germany and his personal opinions lined up very closely with similar views by Hitler. When the Los Angeles Opera staged the Ring Festival in 2010, they drew heat for featuring a composer with strong personal opinions. Protesters gathered outside the first performance to protest that government funding (through LA County Arts Commission) went to support the performance of a work by an anti-Semite. Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich stated, ” To specifically honor and glorify the man whose music and racist anti-Semitic writings inspired Hitler and became the de facto soundtrack for the Holocaust, is an affront to those who have suffered or have been impacted by the horrors of Adolf Hitler’s National Socialistic Worker Party” An opposing view, from an audience member interviewed on their way home from the performance, “It’s great music despite his beliefs.”

In 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city’s public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees.
