As it began ' or any other books

Amidds. Will do!!! :-))

So this is probably very well known here on QZ. It’s just where I’ve picked back up in AIB. It’s talking about Queen being on tour two times in America in 1977. The part I found interesting and didn’t realize is that “two US tours in one year was unheard of” - 1st page of Chapter 10.
3 cents for tonight. :/))

Ok, I might earns some change here....I didn’t remember that entry (are we seeing a trend here lol), but I did look that up in my Complete Works book that I believe was recommended by Doughnut. It lists a Queen Lizzy N.A. Tour from Jan to Mar ‘77 and then News of the World in November and Dec ‘77. What’s even more interesting, is it lists Day at the Races tours in Europe and the UK and a We Are The Champions video shoot between the two Am tours. That takes some amazing stamina, maybe especially for their crew moving around tons on equipment!!!!!

On a sillier note, was just looking at the very common pic of FM with Michael Jackson where FM is wearing his Wear West Hollywood shirt. I’ve seen this pic a million times but this is the first I caught myself wondering that origin of the shirt; is it a store name, club name, etc? Google search didn’t really turn up much except for about a dozen places where I could buy a reproduction.....anyone know?

Amidds. Very interesting. That is incredible don’t know how they do it. Those schedules are grueling. Let’s go I think that should be 77 cents x 2. :) )

Great question. Wish I could help. Will let the experts answer that one.

Jb050,I had to look this up that shirt isn't a brand name i dont think it represents nightlife in West Hollywood I'm guessing.A very popular part from what I understand I'm a simple gal from Oklahoma forgive me.

I think it represents nightlife in that specific part of West Hollywood.

Thanks & Good going Chevy!

“West Hollywood is home to the famous Sunset Strip, with its nightlife and its rock-music history, and to the largest gay nightlife district in the Los Angeles area.”

Not sure of WEAR part. Maybe like you said just a reference To the area. Will post f find more.

Actually now am honking might be a reference to something in that area. Looking. :))

Ugh! “Thinking”. That is. But we could go with “honking”

I have officially started my "Phoebe question list" and put the shirt questions along with the "sacking 3 people" from IHOW on it. Will do some research as well, or honking lol!! Should we call you Fredfie Jr?

That’s really great. Amidds SniffsU! Am sure we will keep adding to it. What a great opportunity that will be. That’s too funny, I’m not at Fredfie’s skill level. Typo’s seem to be my specialty—- A nice service add-on. Haha.

I will add my AIB French Top charts question here too.

AIB, top pg 124, Queen’s “breakthrough” in France in the 70s with we will rock you and we are the champions” says “ it stayed at number one for twelve weeks, after which, because no record was allowed to be at number one for longer...”. Anyone have additional insight re: chart caps and country to country differences. Started to read about France’s charts. Will keep looking and post what I find.

JB, this could be another one of those frustrating "no real answer" deals. I found this interesting article: http://muzhit.com/?p=384. Seems as if, during the late 70's, France didn't really have it's act together for music charting. The Hit Parade that the article mentions only shows sales for that year:
http://www.top-france.fr/html/annuel/1978.htm. This one also shows the 18 weeks for a Grease song: http://tubesenfrance.com/classements-de-1978/. Can't help but wonder if all the changes during that time left no official charting. I wonder if you put the question in a new forum if you'd get an answer from someone who is much more in the know? I believe there are a couple official QP peeps hanging around.

Wow, you had to go and come up with a good one! My brain is leaking out of my ears now.....

Hey there Amidds!!! You did some fancy footwork- quick researching!!! Super cool! Thanks!! I look forward to reading these. It is really interesting what I started to find about the French charts too.

Thank you much! Another busy workweek... days are gonna get away. May be slightly delayed replies but I’m here. :)). More soon. Hopefully can get some reading in each day.

Amidds—By the way/- More cool, vivid descriptors from you! Brain leaking out of your ears. What a tall compliment for me & visual I got reminds me ofEscher Art. :—))
