Gerhard sounds like Manuel de Falla got drunk listening to Berg and sobered up against a loudspeaker playing Jonathan Harvey
I know this is a VERY cool take but the Roberto Gerhard 3rd Symphony is really quite good isn't it

The French composer Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) wrote two string quartets, no.14 and no.15, that can be performed individually, or AT THE SAME TIME as an octet 🤯

A shy young American singer songwriter called Greg Mendez has just commenced playing the Walled Garden at Green Man. He nervously tells everyone it's his first festival ever and he's nervous.
At least a dozen people in the crowd then shout "COME ON GREG 🎾" to glorious utter bafflement from the lad

ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

I second this heartily. An extraordinary, strange, beautiful, and intensely moving film without a single word spoken.
We finally saw "Flow", and the friends who had told us it was an exceptional film were wrong; it is a bona fide masterpiece. Director Gints Zilbalodis, who also wrote the beautiful, Klaus Schulzian musical score, is a magician.

-trans kids got medical assistance as they and their parents needed.
-trans folk could get accurate documents.
-trans folk used the bathrooms that felt appropriate.
AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.
