THE FULL(28:19) F.Mercury Interview with Molly Meldrum/ Australian TV

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLvYQMHmwk

(now tell me this is old news again...oh dear!)

I´ve never seen the full version of this. Thanks for this link.

1) Interesting. On 24:00 talking about the editing of I Was Born to Love You video, he talks about the making of a Mr. Bad Guy-Mini Film, with some acting on it. Sad it never came to fruition. It would have been great.

2) A question on 18:22
Does anyone gets the joke he makes for the proposal to star on the opera La Boheme?
He sais something like " I cant do Matenese(?)"

He says, 'I can't do matinees' as in daytime performances. I guess it was a joke about being up and ready in time to sing.

Still funny every time i see a Freddie interview, there are cigarettes. I'm sure he made some cigarette company rich :-)

I see. "Matinees!" It makes sense now.Thanks

Here is another one.
It's on 28:00. Molly in the end comes to some sort of conclusion. At first i thought he said " i tell you what, you are fitter than ever" but i don't think this is correct.
Anyone has an idea what he sais?

Right. And vodka-tonic. And matches.
Not a single lighter on the set.

He says "I'll tell you what, you're looking fitter than ever.".

What I don't get is a bit he says right after that.

'Well, I tell you what, you're looking fitter than ever, so I think I might, sort of... like, take up music and sort of prance around a stage for a while.'

You're welcome! Molly Meldrum isn't the easiest person to understand. He has quite a deep voice, and mumbles.

I thank you as well. English isn't my first language either.

Thank you for this but I hate youtube videos. Can somebody put it on torrent?

"Thank you for this but I hate youtube videos. Can somebody put it on torrent?"

Just fucking watch youtube :/

By the way i think Freddie in the end makes a very poignant statment about "living out your life in music".
Thats what we miss today.That Equal Merge of charachter/personal life with Artistry.
Nowdays one of the two sides overlaps the other resulting to less impact and more boredom.
