  1. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    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.

  2. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, you might be correct about how the term "simple" was used to describe Jim Hutton, though I initially read it differently. It's hard to say, of course--in this sort of discussion arena, it's easy to misconstrue...

  3. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Thanks for the link--it's a hoot. Not Queen, but it was interesting. I like the fact that May has purchased land for wildlife refuge, something near and dear to my heart. So, good for him

  4. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Amidds, that was good: "...badgering is Brian's department..." I like it. :) Poor Brian, he's badgered so much for his do-goodness.

  5. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Thanks, Saint Jiub for your take on Don't Try Suicide. Though on the surface, FM's attitude through the lyrics is harsh, I think I probably agree with you about his goals in the song. Katy, good for you for decoding (...

  6. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, that all makes perfect sense. Freddie was fine with the sleeping around--that's easy: no commitments, just temporary fun and superficial affections. And in reality, he probably needed that experience and those...

  7. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, I didn't see your response, but if that story is true, it's certainly interesting. Freddie was hampered in developing his sexuality by his upbringing, so his comment might shed some light. From all I've read,...

  8. As it began ' or any other books

    MHZ, I agree that times and sensibilities were different and I don't get too fussed about the questionable lyrics. Thanks for checking them out though, it's nice to have civilized discussions about these things.

  9. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, I think it was MHZ who commented on the positive relationships FM had with the ny daughters. But, I also agree with that! It must have been nice for him to *just be* who he was, no judgement, no pretense. He c...

  10. As it began ' or any other books

    MHZ, the one that comes to mind immediately is 'Tie Your Mother Down' (TYMD--for future reference :) ) I'll be the first to admit it's a great rocker, I bounce around to it when I listen--who could resist? But, check...

  11. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Chevy, I agree that 'Love...' isn't sad; melancholic, maybe, but not heartbreaking. My quibble with the blogger of 'Queen: An Exploded Diagram' is that she assumes the song is about MA and there seems plenty of other...

  12. As it began ' or any other books

    Blasted! That last sentence should have been after the 'Exploded' quote. Proofreading--it's a thing one should practice.

  13. As it began ' or any other books

    I have mixed feelings about Brian. Brilliant musician, apparently can be quite a gentleman, then sometimes a jerk. Then again, so are we all (except for those of us not 'gentlemen', lol). I love his interest in native...

  14. As it began ' or any other books

    Funnily enough, I was just going to get back to 'Exploded Diagram' to finish up The Game, but just to give you an idea of the blogger's writing style (which I get a kick out of) here's a quote from her post about 'Sai...

  15. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, while I do write a blog, it has zero to do with anything Queen related--couldn't be further from the subject! I have, on occasion, linked to music and just recently to 'It's a Kind of Magic', but mostly becaus...

  16. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Rainbow, I'm glad you also discovered, or rediscovered, Bijou. The guitar and lyrics speak with great emotional power. As to your question about whether I disagreed with her opinions--yes, but it might open a can of J...

  17. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    You're welcome, Katy. I found her blog when I discovered the song, 'Bijou' which I find just beautiful. Here's the Bijou post (sigh): http://explodedqueen.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/bijou/ I loved her take on it and the...

  18. Part Three: New thread while Thor and Lee's book is in Publication

    Well, it took me a while to get here, the roads are clogged. Yes, Katy, her blog is called Queen: An Exploded Diagram and here's the link for the intro: http://explodedqueen.wordpress.com/?order=asc She has a fun writ...

  19. As it began ' or any other books

    Amidds, Is the Complete Works worth a read? I assume it's a general history, with emphasis on the music?

  20. As it began ' or any other books

    Thanks, JB for the link. I forget about the site, Queenpedia and should reference it, so thanks for the reminder. I'm currently listening to 'Jazz', so Crazy...
