Does anyone else think that Tristan and Isolde was a very boring story, but had very exciting music? Was Wagner just trying to provide a recognizable story to sell his music on? What do you think?

I don't find the story boring at all. The conflict between love and duty is fascinating and truly tragic since there are no right choices.

Sorry, Babe. But if you're holding me responsible for that, I'm holding you responsible for not knowing it was a masterpiece of medieval French literature.

Well see now that makes sense, but the problem is you're making the assumption that I have some sort of intelligence when it comes to these subjects, and I used all of mine up in pickin-out and getting the girl in the first place so you know... ummm... what were we talking about?

Heh. I found a picture of my copy of Tristan et Iseult. Here it is, right between Science All About Us and Pilote de guerre/

Tristan was reportedly responsible for creating the rules for the sport of hunting, including how to properly butcher the meat before going back to camp.
Now wouldn't that have made a lovely opera.
