It was a little too laddish for me... Not a sports gal... Will confess to some tears during the Olympics though! And there are certainly other communal experiences where I've felt what you're writing about. (Patti Smith, "People Have the Power", free concert in a park in Austin, TX, 2000)

We're still getting used to coming out of our covid chrysalises.

Exactly same thing ie these collective experiences with "strangers".

What a brilliant song "People Have the Power" - the lyrics seem very apt for these times

So good. She wrote it in (Googles it) (OMG) 1988. That it still needs to be sung is a sad commentary on the state of the world.
