Things that aren't directly connected to BBM and yet are somehow Brokieish
Kelda:
I was listing to a spotify playlist my friend had made of Christmas songs (267 songs in total - and very eclectic just like him) and up popped a rufus wainwright song.
I hadn't realised until right there and then *quite* how distinctive his voice is. I
was listening with my earphone while tapping away on my computer at work, so it was really just background noise but as soon as he started signing - I knew who is was instantly. And back thinking of Brokeback straight away.
For anyone interested the song was "What are you doing New Years Eve?" which Id never heard before..

There was another one later called "Some Children See Him" which I again had never heard before.

I'll admit that could be me. The first I ever heard it was K.D. Lang's cover, and I remember thinking to myself, "Who's Leonard Cohen?"

I just watched The Hired Hand, 1971, directed and starred in by Peter Fonda. Very Brokieish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCsCRNByc3g

Was it good?
Speaking of Peter Fonda, my son just watched Easy Rider. I guess he liked it pretty well, although he was highly skeptical about the ending. I told him that [*SPOILER ALERT*] even back in the day it was pretty implausible that a redneck would shoot random passersby just for being hippies.

I enjoyed it. If you like obscure Westerns with homoerotic undertones, it's one to add to your collection!

We city dwellers are rather naive. This happened all the time in Wyoming, and still does, probably. Strangers passing each other on country roads are careful to follow a ritual of safe passage that I learned on my first trip there. I imagine it's much the same in the deep South.
