As it began ' or any other books

Yes Chevy, I was talking about something in the book. That’s why I gave a page reference. I never expected, nor did I want this to get personal.

I did assume the dealer dealt with high end clients. I also think that Phoebe had a sort of innocence to his look and thus may have looked less suspicious.

sorry. I’m on my IPad and posted double.

Katydyd , I found it a interesting topic and yes I do recall it being in the book.I was just joking around.I was curious I was unaware what some of these drugs where.It was a good topic well worth mentioning .

Okay leaving Peter's book for a moment I briefly thumbed through Rosemary Pearson's book and I keep going back to this woman because recently she has come out and spoke some about her time with Freddie in art college.Did any of you guys notice in her book she goes into depth the emotional turmoil Freddie was feeling at this time.How she was afraid she would lose him to some of her gay Male friends that he desperately wanted to meet.In her filming she mentioned nothing to due with the fact she knew he was gay and their emotional separation.She mentioned absolutely nothing.Do you guys think this may have been rehearsed by Queen management was said while interviewing or am I reading into this too much.

Guys I cant help but see all the activity surround that guy named Rudi that's writing a personal book about his time with Freddie.He seems to be touching base with many fans already.Im sure it will be a good book but I wonder how much of his personal side Freddie showed this man.We have to remember Freddie was the great pretender.He was full of all different people within himself.I think only his guy friends from Newyork got to dig down deep enough to reach this mans soul and who he really was.He felt relaxed to be himself in their company.He gave alot but he received alot too.It will be interesting with both these books being released who will win the popular vote.I know I have my bet on Thor and Lee's book.Rudi had alot of buisness dealing with Freddie that has been written about many times.The guys really had that close tell me anything bond with him even though after he left they made such an impact on his life he stayed in touch.It will be interesting to watch this unfold.

It will be interesting to see Rudi’s book, if I had to guess I would bet there won’t be a lot of new stuff we will learn in it. He’s giving it such a build-up that I can’t imagine it can live up to that, plus it has been quite some time and it seems like being in “the business” he would have taken the opportunity to write it and make money long before now if he had new information that hadn’t been shared. But who knows, I’m still hoping it will be good.

Human zoo, me too I cant wait to see what has to bring to the table.

Freddie fans are fortunate that two new books (that we know about so far) are going to be published about our favorite singer. Short of spending 24 hours a day with someone, and even then our impressions would be filtered through our own personal lens, nobody knows all facets of a person's life. My husband knows me better than anyone, yet he could not write about my professional life in any detail, except for the snippets of work I share with him at the end of the day. Likewise, there is not just one person who can give the complete story of that larger-than-life man we all love and admire...and that's okay. Freddie's professional life and personal life were so wonderfully rich...it will be a joy to read and learn more about him from both books. I don't need Thor and Lee's book to delve into Freddie's creative process. They will have wonderful stories of time spent with a beloved friend during an important period in Freddie's life that only they can share. Likewise, I do not need Rudi's book to delve into what Freddie was like outside of the studio. Rudi was lucky enough to witness Freddie's creative process and have a hand in the magic he created. Rudi got to see the musical genius at work and Thor and Lee got to see the musical genius at play. I truly look forward to both books...there is absolutely NO competition between them. They will both offer a unique perspective for which I am grateful.

I’m here :)) hoping to read posts and do some book reading this weekend. Loving this conversation. In the meantime, had to share a pic of pants I found in Shp in FL. I fell in love with them. Who knows, maybe the person who made them is on QZ.

Have a great weekend all!! (Absolutely living the coin pics - am so excited for all who got some!)

Pants pic yo follow. (I know it’s a book thread, but knew you would appreciate these :-))

Pants - back

Amidds, if we pull it off to get to the OH convention, figure I’ll have comfy, cool pants to wear. :-)

Just two more pics. Close ups. :-))

Oops thought I selected the front view, here it is
Hopefully I didn’t cut into book discussion :-)))
