How BIG was Freddie Mercury? : ()-
It's not enough to just bewail and bemoan; you gotta distract with a scintillating new topic. Otherwise, people talk dick. --Egret

Charlie Watts is a genius. Deacon not particularly a slouch himself.

jim hutton´s book
Sebastian, good one. Hutton's book is very affectionate and has some cultural weight as an AIDS memoir. It's perfectly clear from the outset, even from the cover, what the book is about, and that it's personal. People...
