RIP thread

[AFTT47]

Possibly Hitler's lover, Verena Lafferentz was a granddaughter of Richard Wagner. She has died at 98, the last surviving grandchild of the composer.

I think Richard Wagner's RIP is especially ironic. The "Ride of the Valkyries" (German: Walkürenritt or Ritt der Walküren) refers to the beginning of act 3 of Die Walküre, the second of the four operas constituting Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. This is perhaps his most emotionally stirring work. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on your point of view), this work may be most known to future generations as the, "Kill the Wabbit" song.

Kill the Wabbit. Skip to 1:04 for the most pertinent parts if you're not a Bugs Bunny Fan.
