"Brian May IS a known Freemason" ...?

Hi!

I just came across this - if true, some really bad things about Brian May:

http://wethinkyoushould.blogspot.com/2010/05/ups-and-downs-of-brian-mays-eyebags.html

For a couple of years, I've been thinking that (maybe) One Vision is a "commercial" for the New World Order - read the lyrics and please give me your opinion;

One MAN
one GOAL
one MISSION,

One heart
one soul
just one solution,

One FLASH OF LIGHT yeah
one GOD
one vision

One flesh
One bone
One TRUE RELIGION,

One voice
One hope,
One real decision,

Wowowowo gimme one vision!

No wrong
no right,
I'm gonna tell you there's NO BLACK AND NO WHITE,

No blood, no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision

One flesh one bone,
One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowowowo

I had a dream,
When I was young,
A dream of sweet illusion,
A glimpse of hope and unity,
And visions of ONE SWEET UNION,

But a cold wind blows,
And a dark rain falls,
And in my heart it shows,
Look what they've done to my dream

Give me your hands,
Give me your hearts,
I'M READY,
There's only one direction,
ONE WORLD and ONE NATION,
Yeah one vision

No hate no fight,
Just excitation,
All through the night,
It's a celebration wowowowo yeah

One one one

One flesh
one bone,
One true religion,
One voice
one hope, One real decision

Gimme one night,
Gimme one hope,
Just gimme,

One man one man,
One bar one night,
One day hey hey,
Just gimme gimme gimme
Fried chicken

We know the lyrics to One Vision, thanks.

I know... I was just trying to make a point   : )

I think this is a very difficult set of lyrics. Queen obviously wrote it after their Live Aid experience. The lyrics alone can easily be misinterpreted. Years ago a band called "Laibach" did a german version of this song. They sounded as "brutal" as Rammstein, the lyrics were shouted, not sung. And although they translated these lyrics quite precise it suddenly sounded like a Nazi Song..... 

Queen have always shown during their active years, that their aim was bringing people together, crossing borders whenever possible. So I have no doubt, that they had the best of intention writing this song.

Is this blog for real or a joke?  I'm hoping it's the latter, but somehow I'm inclined to believe otherwise..

The lyrics to "One Vision" are mostly by Roger, and they are inspired by Martin Luther King, specifically his "I have a dream" speech.

It's a joke.  I'm virtually certain it's by the same person or persons that used to do the "Dr. Brian the Wise" site/tweeting. This new incarnation has the same flashes of brilliant satire the old one did, but this time pretty much buried under an unfortunately laborious premise.

I think it's sad, and not as near as good as Pim & Niek's 'Brian's Curse Hypothesis"

Ha ha...I hadn't looked in a few weeks and just noticed that the most recent post was about that Glasgow headteacher that wanted her WWRY money back that we were talking about here.

I don't think that blog is sad.  I think it's inconsistent.  It's not like peopleofwalmart.com or something, where the relentless, sustained and cumulative wit of the caption writer(s) reliably gets me in tears at some point in almost any given viewing session, but it has it's moments.

It's ridiculas, those pictures are from Freddie's 40th Birthday, look what hes wearing, it's in the 'Living On My Own' video.

I've not read the blog, nor do i intend to.
However, if you think being a freemason is bad (especially in England), then it's obvious that you haven't got a clue.
All the bad things that are written about masonry is probably written by sour-faced people who have a grudge against them, most likley through ignorance, because they've not been accepted or they simply can't stand the fact that masonry is a "secret organisation", for want of a better description.
The masons in the UK do SO much fund-raising it's almost unbelievable, yet they don't like the fact publicised. That's a pity really as it may raise the ignorant publics view of them.

Defo.  The only issue I ever had with him/them was that every once in a while he/they'd drift over into being genuinely mean.  Stuff is not really funny to me if it's cruel or hurtful.  But usually it was just sharp and hilarious.

Not trying to plug anything, of course ;-P

I heard Freemasons have chicken feet and that's why they never take their shoes off.
