The local Classic Rock station never played enough Queen, in quality or quantity. I made friends with the DJs over the years and was known to them as Tommy Mercury. Well I finally convinced the program director to on September 5th, 2006, Freddies 60th birthday play every Queen album in a row and dedicate the whole day to Queen. I was able to host part of it (Queen to Jazz) and we (myself and the other DJ) got to write our own show to go with it. I included all sorts of Queen facts etc. and ended my run with the (in)famous story of the Jazz release party (namely the midgets with silver platters holding lines of coke running around) and the station got more calls asking if it was real that hour that in the previous 5 weeks before that. Requests for Queen went up 700% and rarer songs were being requested. That same time the next year, all the hype had died down and a hour was deidicated to Freddie... At least I did all I could at the time. I was very happy to expose that many people to Queen and create a bunch of new fans. Fabulous, darlings.

The night before last I was up brutally late working on a project for work, and I was looking at getting less than 4 hours sleep. I tossed and turned, dreading the thought of the radio alarm that would come way too soon. Anyway, precisely at 6:00 am by my clock radio I was roused by a clear, wonderful and perfectly and serendipitiously timed "I've paid my dues.....". I stayed in bed and listened to the whole thing before I staggered into the shower. It made my very long tired day.
