“In 1938, a young Orson Welles makes history when he performs a radio play he wrote based on Brokeback Mountain. His use of voices and sound effects is so convincing, thousands of listeners actually believe they are hearing two cowboys falling in love. Legend has it that dozens of people committed suicide fearing a wave of gay cowboyism.     Three years later, Welles and his cowriter Herman Mankiewicz work a Brokeback Mountain joke into Citizen Kane but RKO insists that their reference to ‘stemming the rose’ be changed to ‘rosebud.’” ...

How nice of you to make a custom made challenge for us Swedes, John!!

Next:  Gävle Goat (Yule Goat)

Well, the Yule goat in Gävle (northern Sweden), is world famous in all Sweden.
They create a new one every year (made of straw), put it up in the town square, and a couple days later it's promptly set on fire by some of the good citizens of Gävle....  

This "tradition" repeats itself year after year....

(they don't have a too many ways to enjoy themselves up there in the dark.... )       Berit


However -- the Brokie connection?

The goat is on fire.   And so are Jack's and Ennis's hearts.  Simple as that.

very good.



next ??

Whoops! I realized later I had forgotten to add a "next." Then I thought of one. But I forgot to add it. Now I'll just wait and try to jump in after someone solves Gävle Goat, because it won't be me.

Oh, that is good. I missed it the first time, somehow. So OK, now I'll go with my previous challenge (though BCJ, if you want to elaborate more on your original ideas for Gävle Goat, go ahead).

Next: John James Audubon (1785-1851).

Elaboration, from Wikipedia

The Yule Goat is one of the oldest Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbols and traditions. Yule Goat originally denoted the goat that was slaughtered around Yule, but it may also indicate a goat figure made out of straw. It is also used about the custom of going door-to-door singing carols and getting food and drinks in return, often fruit, cakes and sweets. "Going Yule Goat" is similar to the British custom wassailing, both with heathen roots.

I am a fan of Heath Ledger, a/k/a "Heathen"

So the Yule Goat is very Brokeish.
