Norman Sheffield passed away

This has turned into something very philosophical and existential... a vicious circle.. DOTL would not have existed without either of them.. at that moment in time... like everything else in the history of the universe....

Carry on...

Sebastian..... get a life, and show respect to Mr Sheffield. R.I.P.

By the way Mooghead, well said :-)

"get a life" is hardly respectful either...

I refer you to mooghead, then let it go.

Let it go.....leeetttttt iiiitttt goooooooooo.... erm...... >____>

I'll have a(nother) Captain Obvious moment but: no, he didn't; Freddie did. Norman was, allegedly, the person about whom the song was written, but he wasn't the one who wrote the song, therefore he was not the one who 'gave [you]' DOTL, same way Marilyn Monroe didn't write 'Candle in the Wind', Freddie Mercury didn't write 'No-One But You' and John Lennon didn't write 'Life Is Real.'[/QUOTE]

Geez Seb, sometimes you're so stubborn it comes across as if you're simply dumb. No, the song would not have existed if it hadn't been for the author. But, considering that the song was written out of annoyance with a certain person, the song would not have existed either if the annoyance at said person hadn't existed. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to state that without Normal Sheffield we wouldn't have had DOTL.

Yeah, but by the same reasoning, without Freddie's parents there would've been no DOTL, and without Freddie's grandparents, and without Norman's grandparents, etc. So it's quite an irrelevant point to make really.

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear it does anybody give a fuck?

RIP N.S

I think if the words "gave us" are changed to "inspired or spurred Freddie to write", the point would be clearer.

WTF ?!!!!

Exactly.
