It's not easy being a gay brain-sex icon and a straight brain-sex icon at the same time but ya boi Byron did it. Part 1 of 2. Poll in the thing for the next topic. I will abide by the results.Come join the Patreon!https://patreon.com/c/HemlockPatreonAlso, I decided Richard and I's biographical series is gonna be called "Bad Role Models" since that seems to be the theme... Also "Behind the Bastards" was already taken.Citations:Malcolm McDowell Movie "If...." (1968)Byron: Life and Legend by Fiona MacCarthyTchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by Anna Fedorova and the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie led by Yves Abel (Creative Commons, version I used here)IMHO the 1958 version with Van Cliburn and Fritz Reiner / Chicago Symphony on RCA is best.
