Blenkolove,
I need four dental implants for five teeth four of which were nearly falling out (lower fronts).
T
Correction: I meant five implants not four.
B
Ouch!! That's expensive!! I was just kidding...but implants are an amazing replacement for natural teeth!!!!!
T
Yes, the expense would cut off too much of my retirement savings.

Question for Thor and Lee--

Do either of you know if Freddie ever continued with visual art once he got famous? He designed the Queen crest, but that seems to be it. I saw a youtube video a while back about a museum exhibit about Queen's early years, and the curator was saying something about how he designed/sewed some of his early stage costumes. I know that was (probably) before you guys knew him, but is there any truth to the rumors?
O
And for a part 2 to my question...

Speaking of Youtube videos, are you aware of the Garden Lodge tapes? If so, what are your opinions on them? Personally, I think it's nice to see Freddie in candid unguarded moments, but some of them were a bit too private to be shared.

blow-up arguments with all the previous quotes is a pain to read and exhausting. I believe it was LOTV and Dustin who went through
3 or 4 pages of nasty comment throwing on the old site. ONCE AGAIN...please use the PM function to argue on and on. Really nobody
wants to read it in the way it is presented on this thread.


Don't believe I've engaged with The Spokesman before but I take the point. Moving on.

I thought I would share with you all what I just read in Phoebe's first book that
"One of the things he hated most was being called Fred."
Although he introduced himself to me as Fred to pretend to be an average kind of guy, that was limited to
one time on Sept. 21 1980. From then on, it was always Freddie.

Interesting to note for some here who do refer to Freddie as Fred.

Let me try to answer all the legitimate questions that some of you have asked between turmoil of the word-fight. It may take a little while.

Hello LOTV,
I appreciate your apology for insulting me with the word "prissy"
Also, the old verbal fight between you, Dustin and one other can be reviewed somewhere around pg.82 of the old site.
I also think I remember a long verbal fight somewhere around pg 45. I have not verified that one yet, but my point
was made about wasted space with every quote over and over again. Quotes are great but readers can remember
what was said by either backing up a page or just on their own memory. Using one quote if any would be much
better for all readers. My experience shows that a large number of quoted thoughts, usually indicates a verbal fight.
I hope we can agree on this.

The above needs also to be said to Sponge Caves. Please try to limit the number of previous quotes in your present
reply. People probably do not care to read all the quotes over and over and over. Too tedious.

LOTV,
Regarding how I was able to "perform" with girls in High School, you have to remember that this was 1967 to 1972. Sex among young straight boys
and girls was discouraged and would cause problems in the families involved. I remember a 16yo boy from one of my classes who got a 15yo girl
pregnant. They were ridiculed inside the school's boundaries and at home, even worse. The girl was forced to leave the school and the boy was
forced to go, I believe, to finish his last two years in a Catholic school by his parents. Little did they know about what went on in some Catholic
Schools and Churches.
So, basically all I needed to do was make out with the girl in a friend's basement, parents out of the house, with the lights turned off. As I got older
you were expected to cop a few feels of their breasts and longer French kissing sessions. None of my girlfriends ever reached for my crotch, so I
had it made in the shade. A girl from 2017 would find this limit unthinkable. In the 60's most girls wanted love before sex and probably are on the pill
at an earlier and earlier age every decade.

LOTV,
Favorite performances where I was in attendance would have to include my mind-exploding first concert in Philadelphia,
and of course the Wembley "Magic" performance where the group was as outstanding as the Live Aid performance, which I did not attend.

LOTV, no one is interesting in communicating with Stop TM. He proved himself to be argumentative, homophobic and very nasty.
Please read his first couple of introductory statements if you haven't yet. END of subject. Feel free to PM him with my blessings.

LOTV,
In regard to Freddie"s sports history, as I have said, he never discussed his past with us and never talked about sports.
If he was Boxing in school, it probably was mandatory that you pick SOME sport back then. Also, maybe he got a thrill
out of hitting someone, in a controlled setting, even if he lost.
