    Thanks for the link to that interview! I was able to DL it to iTunes and had a great time listening in my car during rush hour. Thanks again!

  8. Freddie's language skills and his apparent lack of interest in reading

    Thanks for all the answers, people! I'm going to respond to some of them in this one post. I hope that's ok with you all? It might be easier so I don't spam. -- @andres_clip -- I understand that, and in fact, having g...

  12. Freddie's language skills and his apparent lack of interest in reading

    I want to ask what might be a sensitive question of you long-term fans. I admit that while I saw Queen in the Summer of '82, as an American, I didn't get exposed to them a lot when I was a kid. I just listened to Radi...

  13. Mary austin

    I can attest to that. As an old fogie who grew up in the 80s in and around NYC/NJ (and who saw Queen's NJ show in the summer of '82), I can tell you that I knew a whole bunch of folks who contracted HIV in the early '...

  17. So, what is Freddie nationality?

    His nationality was always British. His parents ALWAYS held British passports because they were British (Indian) subjects. It's the reason the family could quickly leave Zanzibar during the 1974 revolution and go to B...

  18. I want to break free

    Loving all the shreds haha.

  19. Did you ever suspect Freddie wasn't white?

    I was a kid in the '80s and saw Queen during the 82 US tour and I never even knew or suspected he wasn't your average British dude. I mean, he kinda looked Greek or Italian or even Spanish to me. I know I was a dumb k...
