Yes, PJUSA I am also excited about the re-surge of Queen music. If you have ever
attended "LOVE" the Cirque du Soleil tribute to the Beatles, I can just imagine that
a "Killer Queen" performance would be be right up their alley and make a fortune.
I have not yet seen the Michael Jackson tribute.

Hey Double-U,
Thanks a million for those German articles. I had Google translate it into
English. I got the gist of it, but obviously Google has some work to do on
their translation service.

Hey LOTV,
I did not know that Kurt Cobain mentioned Freddie in his suicide note.
Something else to Google! Thanks for the info.

Welcome chrisdpenrose,
Thanks so much for your support of this site. I know I would sure like to read
any comments or questions that you, personally, might have. If that's not your
thing...just drop us a line once and again.

Just remember: the last guy who got 'disciplined' by Thor was tied up in a cave using his sons' guts, with poison dripping on his face until the end of the world.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll shut up now.

in reverse order.

captainjory,
Are you sure about the dates you have written? Unless I have 1982 amnesia, I remember
enjoying the entire year with Freddie and going to many of the Queen America '82 concerts.


Yeah that was my point! (Sorry if I wasn't clear!) The whole timeline people have for Freddie and Barbara is wrong, he did record in Germany in early 1982, but as you know only too well, he was living in New York, plus touring - not with her in Germany.

This is what I mean about how mental some fans are! They've re-written his life to allow for a fictional female relationship!
T
NO Invisible Woman, don't just disappear,
We'll all support you, read what you have
to say and hopefully reply with Grace Under
Disagreement. I don't think you will get anymore
rude replies. Please stay with us, state your
point and forgive others that have not engaged in
civil disagreement.

@ Thor,

"I had Google translate it into English. I got the gist of it, but obviously Google has some work to do on their translation service."

I did the same thing. Chuckled when I got to this line toward the end..."The innkeeper cooked Mercury with his food: pork knuckles."

Ouch!

HaHa Rainbow,
Poor Freddie, cooked with pork knuckles...Hilarious

Thor, for your convenience mate:

To Boddah

Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.

All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guity beyond words about these things.

For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.

On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!

I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what i used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.

I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.

Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.

Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain

Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.
Please keep going Courtney, for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

Kurt Cobain cherished NOTW, it was his favourite rock album. He adored Freddie, he could associate with the 'otherness' of him.
