John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

"And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone"

Some of the best lyrics ever, I think.

^ I agree. This and "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in", that is so very true and deep.

So sad. His new album is great, I think.

I think he got a bit of that from Rumi, a great poet and philosopher.
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
- Jalaluddin Rumi

I love that quote.Also love Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah!
RIP.
