"You was..." I'm hoping that's on purpose.

This is the biggest reason he wasn't allowed "membership" with Russia's Mighty Five that was made up of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Cui, and Balakirev. They would claim that Tchaikovsky's works weren't Russian enough. That he was too heavily influenced by Western European composers. The joke is on them. Tchaikovsky is pretty much a household name and most people know his works even if they don't know the title or his name.

Here's his violin concerto that he composed for his student/lover

In Texas it's Boo-wee. That was the man's name as is the knife that bears it. Outside of Texas people mispronounce it as Bow-ee like Ziggy Stardust.

If you're talking about David (rest in power) Bowie, then it's Bow-ee. But the knife is Boo-wee.

Texas has so many. Bogota pronounced buh-GO-duh

Arkansas has a Lafayette county pronounced luh-FAY-it even though that county literally borders Louisiana.

Don't even get me started on Bowie, DeKalb, or Houston.

But he didn't freeze to death. There are sequels to The Giver. Gathering Blue isn't a direct sequel but in the same universe. I forget the name of the actual sequel.

All I remember is the Terence Howard skit and how it felt like a cheap knock off (but still chuckle worthy) of a Chapelle or Key and Peele sketch.
