That's scary. If he can't write "Brokeback", what are the chances that he can write an opera?

My eye was bugged by the words, but I kept assuming it was because it was all caps, and I just sort of avoided looking at it.
Isn't he all atonal and shit? If notes are beside the point, maybe spelling is too.

It continues with:
Organizers are planning to return to "Brokeback Mountain" with a performance of fiction and other literature written by "Brokies" -- an informal group of fans who strongly identify with the film.
Eric Hooper (!!!!), who lives in San Jose, is a Brokie who said he has seen the movie 56 times in theaters, flying across the country to catch screenings at various festivals and events.
The movie came as a revelation, he said, after living in a city for most of his adult life. "That's what really struck me about 'Brokeback' -- it presented the possibility of being gay and living in rural America."

"12-tone" or "serial" is more accurate. Such music is tonal to the extent that it uses the 12 standard tone relationships found in western music. Think: "notes that can be found on the piano." This is different from microtonalism, which divides the octave into more than 12 tones. I sang a musical/opera once by a composer named Harry Partch that divided the octave into 43 tones. Other composers of microtonal music come up with their own divisions of the octave. Compared to Partch's microtonalism, Wourinen's music sounds like "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
