Thoughts on Thor Arnold and Lee Nolan's eleven year friendship with Freddie

NotQuiteAShilling,

I was just listening to the Milton Keynes concert. Another funny bit is when Freddie adlibs "bite the dick" during Another Bites the Dust.

“Black smoke is coming out of our chimneys. There is a new UNHOLY EVIL POPE:
PAPA EMERITUS XIV, successor of the late PAPA EMERITUS IV !!!
ALL HAIL TO PAPA EMERITUS XIV....THOU SHALL ALL OBEY HIM !!!”

The Clergy has spoken!

Sorry, I tried but couldn't delete my previous blank post. It was unintentionally sent. I thought I was relatively computer savvy and literate as a person - till I joined QZ! LOL
I'm a newbie. Am I the only one who feels the Web site is slow and in need of an upgrade? BTW, how the h - - - do I delete a post I made?

Thor 'n Lee, buena suerte! I hope you both land a book deal during your time in CA (Thor, I'm the one that sent you an e-mail when I couldn't upload photos into QZ Fan Art.).

Jo T. Hi and welcome. I've yet to figure out how to delete a post, and if you go back a page or so you'll find a blank post from me that I was unable to delete just like yours. Maybe someone else knows how to do that..

I'm still trying to figure out how to apply directly to someone's post without copying and pasting what they said in a new box. Any directions on how to do that?

So I took my girls to the Panic! At the Disco concert last night and got a video of the band singing Bohemian Rhapsody, thought I would share it with you all. I think moments like these keep Freddie’s memory alive, because there’s about 12,000 Panic! fans all singing Bohemian Rhapsody and hopefully finding and listening to the rest of Queen’s music!

Thanks for sharing Anniebee! I often wonder what Freddie would have thought if he had known BR would be a song that audiences would still be singing with the performers. I'm sure he could not have imagined this or that he would be so loved long past his short time on earth. I'm grateful the movie has opened up a whole new fan base for Freddie and Queen. I believe Freddie and the band will still be at the top long after I'm gone because they are so unique and special.

Hello All,
I am back in town after a very good meeting with Lee.
We worked on the book and improved and updated our manuscript and proposal to reflect the excitement about the movie, the drawbacks of Freddie's true character portrayal, and the recent Golden Globe wins and Oscar nominations. Good to be back! Now, I need to start sending it out to as many literary agents and publishers as possible. I will be very busy...but will always make some time for all of YOU!

I'm so happy to see you back, Thor! How was Palm Springs?

Ha Ha Sweet,

Palm Springs was GREAT!

The bookwork was time-consuming but with a fine sense of accomplishment! Now it's up to the publishing gods!

Good to see you back again Thor! Glad you and Lee got a chance to get together, regroup, and work on this book to make sure it will get some interest. I’m hoping you get some good leads with this! It will be nice to see all of the hard work you both have put into it pay off. :)

Hi Thor,

You and Lee sound re-energized. Glad to hear that!

I am curious about your writing process. Do you and Lee discuss ideas, write down notes, and then expand on the notes? Do you both take turns typing or is one of you responsible for that task? Are you doing your own editing or do you have someone else helping you with that? You both have your own unique writing styles…is this book a combination of those styles so that you speak as “one voice, or are you each sharing your memories separately? Just trying to get a behind-the-scenes peek at how this book came together. Thanks!

Glad to see you back Thor! As Rainbow said, you certainly do sound re-energized and that is wonderful to see. Fingers crossed!!

Honestly, I can't imagine why a publisher would NOT want to publish your and Lee's book. Publishers should be vying for it. Strike while the iron is hot, hot, hot!
