Stephen Fry’s Appreciation of Wagner
Wagner, Vagner, or whatever his name isn’t, is such an oddball. He’s like a cross between Ron Jeremy and Dog the Bounty Hunter. He can’t really speak English, and, apart from being able to reproduce roughly the same outfit week in week out, he is incapable of singing in a normal fashion.
Whatever he’s done right or wrong, though, he’s clearly had an affect on one of the world’s smartest minds. Indeed, star of QI and, well, breakdowns in Brussels – Fry is a fan of the long-haired warbler. ‘A journey of connecting all kinds of emotional shapes’, ey? Well we just thought it was a crazy Hispanic man who had slipped through the dubious net of X-Factors ‘talent’ pool. Each to his own.
