- and Mustapha is mostly nonsense. Some words might originate in some of the things he knew about Zoroastrianism, but mostly it's regarded as nonsense, isn't it?

You might or might not be thinking about Stone Cold Crazy, but it does make a little bit of sense. I remember reading an analysis on Great King Rat but don't remember much about the actual content.

Most people who are "proud to be British" display a low IQ and a tendency to support parties such as UKIP.
People who are proud of what is just an accident of birth are generally of a low intellect, and prone to personify stereotypical images of their culture. Be proud of what you achieve, not of what you are born into.

Just been on Wikipedia, Al Capone wasn't "born on 21st May", so that theory is debunked. I'll have to wipe and reprogram my mind now. .......41 years of misinformed bollocks......

Being British is more than an accident of birth, it's about having a shared history and a shared set of political, social and cultural values. And all of those were fought for and won by Britons from previous generations. I am therefore proud to be British and part of that heritage. I do not support UKIP. I am well educated. I'm proud of what I've achieved and also proud of my Britishness. In fact, I'm also proud of (much of) my irish roots too. Where does that leave your argument?

Is there any evidence or atleast good theories about the Great king Rat song meaning?
One thing I noticed is that it sounds like Mercury's prediction of his own death... he died at 44 and from a STD... just coincidence, right?
Also, is Mustapha just nonsense?[/QUOTE]
your thread says "THE ONE SONG MEANING"
but last time i checked - no one here had discussed the meaning of More of That Jazz either

That song is about Marie McCray! She is a porn star and was born at May 21!
I solved the mistery.

P.S: Freddie wrote about her about 13 years before she was even born! He was so incredible.
