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).





Blue-bird. From "The Birds of America"

Where bluebirds sing...

John James Audubon is Brokeish.

Jethro Tull (1674-1741) had a pulmonary disorder, and Uncle Harold had pneumonia.  

So, Jethro Tull is Brokieish.

Also, he was married to Marilyn Monroe, and Michelle may be about to play her in a biopic.

Cool.

Not what I was thinking, but it works.

Here's what I had:

In 1943, Carson McCullers wrote 'The Ballad of the Sad Cafe'.


A hunchbacked dwarf named Cousin Lymon (Michael Dunn) comes along to claim kinship with Miss Amelia and monkey-walk his way into her barricaded heart. Cousin Lymon is sly, querulous and malevolent, but in her shy-smiling gladness Miss Amelia turns her store into a café where her half-pet half-child holds court. One night Marvin Macy shows up, and it is the dwarf's turn to love unrequitedly. Cousin Lymon is infatuated with the ex-jailbird who has seen the world, but Marvin cruelly cuffs him and calls him "Brokeback."

All right, I get it, mine was not the most creative response!

Annie Proulx wrote the book Cider: Making, Using & Enjoying Sweet & Hard Cider, and included a recipe for New England butter rum cider that includes, among other things, cinnamon.  

New England Butter Rum Cider

For a quiet evening à deux when the winter wind howls outside and snow heaps up on the window sill, with a cheery fire snapping in the fireplace, there are few more comforting and soul-satisfying drinks than this.

3-4 teaspoons raw or brown sugar, or honey
2 wide strips lemon, orange or lime peel
4 ounces dark or medium-dark rum, warmed
2 teaspoons butter
4 whole cloves
pinch allspice
1 pint strong, dry cider
1 cinnamon stick, halved

Into each eight-ounce cup or mug put 1 1/2-2 teaspoons sugar, a strip of orange peel, and an ounce of rum.  Be sure the peel is wet with alcohol, then fire it with a match to release the citric oils.  After the flame dies out, recharge each cup with a second ounce of rum, a teaspoon of butter, the cloves and allspice.  Heat the cider until piping hot, pour into the mugs, and stir with the cinnamon sticks.



Thus, cinnamon is Brokieish!
