Craig Pesco sexier than Freddie
Hmm. I never thought of the day-ohs as the sexy thing about Freddie. --Egret

Vegas seduces Boomers with a geezer metaphor
Heck, GUMP, I will thank you for copying this here. I was fascinated, and cut and pasted it into my files, so your typing work will last for the ages, my friend. I share your feelings about WWRY, to wit: highly-suspic...

Was Freddie the 'Postman' or the 'Letterbox'?????
I'll never hear "Please Mr. Postman" the same way again now. --Egret

The books about freddie!
I've read both the Hutton book and the Phoebe book and they are both a lot more compassionate about people than this thread is. Who can say who really loves who? That's seeking an impossible level of truth from any ve...

For real Queen experts only
Laughing @ Amethyst -- that was good. --Egret

new Peter Freestone book?
Does anyone know anything about this book? "Freddie Mercury: The Afterlife" by Peter Freestone, released July 2004? Is it just a new edition or a new book? Here is the link to amazon.co.uk -- It's not even listed on A...

what is the saddest song????
"Guide Me Home/How Can I Go On" from Freddie's Barcelona album are the saddest things he ever sang, I think, though maybe you're not counting nonQueen albums?

Freddie's Piano
I do not have the technical musical knowledge to address all that you say there, but those seem like interesting points. It's perhaps worth mentioning that the piano was popular in the 70s, e.g. Elton John, Billy Joel...

Mario or Freddie?
No, this one was funny, like something you think of when you're stoned and looking at the album cover. I would have laughed if someone asked me that. And didn't Queen have some kind of videogame moment? Sigh. It all s...

Why no Caballe at the Tribute concert?
I just throw this out as a theory: Is it possible that we are being hypercritical of this tribute concert from last decade because what seemed good then now seems insufficient... because Freddie's reputation has grown...

The only one to not write about Freddie
I think the memoirs include some horribly sad details about Freddie's physical deterioration because of Freddie's position as a very famous AIDS victim. While the main point of the memoirs is of course to remember the...

Versions of Love Kills
Those "alternate" lyrics sound like they would fit "Life is Real."

Where is the new Queen commercial?
The Viagra commercial is funny. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it cracks me up, all those guys leaping their hedges and high-fiving each other.

This topic is really for long time Queen fans...
The postmodern viewpoint would be that each generation creates the Queen they need, much as they do with Shakespeare.

This topic is really for long time Queen fans...
Yes, this does place one in a generation, but NOTW was *the* desirable Xmas gift that year. (77?) They would get more famous with AOBTD, but for "rock coolness" that WWRY/WATC single, *before* it was a big sports clic...

What embarrases you about Queen?
The Highlander soundtrack songs are embarrassingly schmaltzy to me. Very gooey and overdone in an unpleasant way. I know a lot of people like them, but I cringe a bit when I hear them. --Egret

Caption Competition
I don't have a caption, but that first picture, y'know, that's what a rock band SHOULD look like! Yay them!

Giving "new" ideas to Roger & Brian
I like tomnever's idea.

A Yellow Special?
Why is Pokemon/Queen inherently wrong? They were big in Japan. And I'm sure if asked and money was waved at them, they'd be more than happy to compose a Pokemon Battle theme song or something! And Pokemon is the big b...

when did freddie look his best.?
I didn't like the mustache at first, but then when he shaved it off for the Barcelona look, I missed it. I missed his long hair more than I minded the mustache. But the leather and vinyl clothes were better than the l...
