Oh, and thanks Rainbow!

Thanks, Katy for the correction, I guess I missed that. I'm impressed that you keep files. :)

As it began ' or any other books
Thanks, Katy for posting that article. I also came across it a while back and referred to it in one of my first posts to QZ. It was the part (at the end of the article) where Rudi talks about visiting Freddie toward t...

MHZ, I'm sure you're correct about that--a supplier for high-end customers.

As it began ' or any other books
Katy, I always wondered about the same thing. In one of the many documentaries out there, Phoebe talks about the drug buying, too. It does seem risky, but it was the 80s and (like today) if you're a white guy, you're...

Amidds, I'm in agreement with you about the generalizations of groups of people. We all do it, but we should make efforts not to. That said, I wonder if part of the reputation of gay men (specifically) being promiscuo...

I think you're correct, Katy. Most friends and colleagues suspected, but didn't know for certain and it was only the inner circle (those I mentioned in my earlier post) who were told in '87), with a slightly wider cir...

Well, Katy--great minds is all I have to say. :) Yes, I read the second Freestone book and yes, I think self-serving describes a big chunk of it. I like his books for their good bits and pieces of information, gleaned...

Thanks, Amidds, for broaching this subject. I think FM found solace in "safe" friendships and a variety thereof; he was after-all a bit (snort!) controlling, though I don't mean to imply he was selfish in his relation...

As it began ' or any other books
Katy, I have to agree with you, vis-a-vis what you're referring to in the discussion about FM's view of love in those confusing pages in Freestone's book. Like you, I've also wondered if there's a kind of dismissal of...

Thank you, Katy. My only reason for mentioning my situation is to alert others that writing about a loved one's death is a healthy and valuable way to accept great loss. My sense of both Hutton's and Freestone's books...

I haven't buried a partner, but have buried a child. As part of my own grief work, reliving the moments of the loss is paramount to reconciliation and road to recovery. I've also interviewed parents who've buried chil...

Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication
Haven't commented in a while, but do check in from time-to-time. Wishing all a good, healthy 2020 and will add my condolence to Jim's family and friends and QZ fans.

One Vision
I think the lyrics (not entirely accurate) posted above are of 'A Kind of Magic', and not 'One Vision'. Several of the songs on the album 'A Kind of Magic' were written for the movie 'Highlander' with the song 'A Kind...

Amidds, you're spot on about FM enlisting the help of others when some, uh, dirty break up work was needed. I think Freddie Mercury was a genius and by all accounts a sweet, good guy, but that avoiding of responsibili...

Jim Beach has acted in Queen's (and Freddie's) best financial and legal interests, as any good attorney does. It's been a successful financial strategy for Queen--and for Beach. I suspect his actions haven't always be...

Beach keeps a low profile and it seems like the band trusted/trusts him. Certainly, Freddie did, it seems. He's certainly made business decisions which have enriched the lot of them, but I don't care much for him. (No...

Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication
Well, that's what happens when one has too many tabs and pays no attention to which was clicked--that post goes on another thread. Apologies!

I'll check it out on Kindle--thanks for that, Amidds. I'm currently reading a book on class differences in the US; fairly depressing, not gonna lie, so maybe something joyful and Freddie-like is just the right antidote.
