@Chevyman

A medicine man? What an interesting childhood and heritage!

@Rainbow61

I want to add that the movie was not all About silent movies in the first years I was in. I was a movie buff with no particalur interest in the silent era, and I joined the Group because we watched all Kind if movies. In return you were expected to contribute something to the silent movie symposium. The first years were really fun, somebody bright his favourite Japanese Gangster movie, the week after someone else showed a European art film, and so forth. We watched a lot of sound movies In preparation for the SciFi Symposium, e.g. "The Day the Earth Stood Still", or "Forbidden Planet".

At school WW1 was presented like a Kind of prelude to the rise of Hitler and WW2. WW2 and the Holocaust still overshadow everything that had come before, both in education and our political culture. So, WW1 feels as distant as the Middle Ages.

It is interesting to look beyond that threshold, the 1800s were generally interesting times, both in North America and in Europe.

Steven, Yes I was delivered on a Indian reservation not in a hospital a midwife and my dad were there.I got taken to hospital afterwards.I was washed with river water after birth .ofcourse this was 1973 a long time ago and secondhand information I dont remember it .A medicine man is a very highly respected person in the Indian community.They hardly exist anymore.They use prayer and natural healing process not pills or man made way of medicine.I can remember my father taking a horse in water because he had stomped a little boy and he tamed the horse.Water tames a horse that's the best way to break them in.Im pretty concerned about these birds though I'm afraid she is gonna kill them by putting bleach in the water.It was nice to hear from you.

As far as pestilence which is referring to disease I dont think anyone directly affected by AIDS thought of it as a bad dream or passing thing.Especially if you have to look a family member in the face that is a shell of the person they used to be.Then watch your grandmother turn her son every two hours because he cant do it himself.Change his linings because he cant control his bladder or bowels any longer.Oh tie his arms to the bed rails because it has affected his nervous system so bad he has violent seizures. That's real disease and reality of someone dying and cant nobody do anything about it.The movie was great though but I personally liked Philadelphia with Tom Hanks such a great actor.

Oh this last message was for @Joe T I'm sorry my bad I didn't address anyone.

Lsgp, I'm sorry your friends have lost people due to this virus. It's been a nightmare. Thanks for sharing that picture of young Freddie. Every once in a while old pictures like those show up. I always wonder if someone has had them stored in a box or an old picture album and suddenly realized they had a treasure on their hands.

It's sad to see so many performances canceled or postponed, but at this point I know I would not feel safe sitting in a large crowd. I had two remaining Broadway shows this year. One was canceled, the other one is postponed for now. I'm glad the NFL went ahead with the draft but I wonder what football will look like in the fall. BTW, I saw the Stones in concert when I was very young. We won tickets from a radio station and our parents had to drive us to the venue. I suspect if they had known who the Stones were it would have been out of the question. : )

Steven I don't think I knew you were part of a band. What type of music? I've seen What's Up Doc, but barely remember it. I've been watching a lot of tv lately. Just saw The Green Book for the second time. It's a fairly new movie, and is excellent.

Jo, I read "into the Wild" and also saw the movie. Looking at the pictures of the bus McCandless lived in break my heart. It looks so lonely. I've never been to Alaska but it's on my bucket list. I think a road trip would be so exciting!

There was so much to comment on in the previous posts that I'm sure I've missed things.

Oh, one more thing. I did watch Rudi today and it was so improved over all the past Lives. He had one of his production team members helping him from Munich, and another team member in the US was also assisting. It was so much more organized. He showed videos throughout but I was most interested to hear him say that In My Defense is one of his favorites. Or maybe he even said it was a favorite. Since he's now doing the Live from his laptop rather than his phone it was much easier to watch. No bouncing around! He seemed to be sticking to a script of sorts and he explained the pre-order process in a way that was easier to understand.

And one more thing. My DIL brought me a 'quarantine boredom buster" today. It's the Queen 2 jigsaw puzzle that we were talking about. The one that has so much black! She was so excited that she had found it for me that I'm determined to finish it for her. I've already figured out that my obsession to complete the border first isn't happening since the entire border is black.

Finally, I think it was Amidds (very worried about her but have no way to contact her) who suggested I get the version of the Montreal concert where Roger and Brian give commentary throughout. I LOVED that! It was like having them in the room with me sharing all kinds of inside info about the concert. I wish they would do that for every concert DVD.

Katyd, worried for Amidds? Did I miss something? Why worried?

Lsgp, worried because she hasn't posted in about two weeks and she was a regular. That's one of the drawbacks to a thread/forum like this. We know each other by chosen QZ names, and frankly, I like that anonymity. However, it also means that it is not possible to contact people we haven't seen in a while. I'm just hoping she's busy, or perhaps lost interest. Jo mentioned that she had taken a temporary break from social media and it could be something like that. Just keep your fingers crossed that all is well with her.

This isolation is killing me do any of you recall the story about Mcjagger and David Bowie hooking up in the day.i wouldve liked to been a fly on the wall for that one.Ugly and uglier maybe just joking both men werent very attractive to me.I wonder what David's wife thought when she found out.A coffee anyone?

I wanna try something quotes they are a wonderful way to express a feeling your having or just plain fun sometimes.Keep in mind they are your inner thoughts sometimes and the meanings need no explanation.Mine for today was taught to me by my grandmother beware of false prophets and liars.I didnt realise what it meant at the time but very true.

Steven...I hear you on the fear of losing liberties and having that become more acceptable or a way of life. It's a fear here for some, as well. I have to admit, as an independent person I don't like anyone telling me what I can and can't do!

Chevy, I think it's fine to put a little bit of bleach in the bird water, like maybe a capful to a large bird bath. Birds will drink out of swimming pools and be fine, and cities add chlorine to the water systems to cleanse it too, so we are usually drinking it ourselves. Funny...when you mentioned a witch doctor the other day it reminded me of the Bewitched show...when Samantha used to call Dr. Bombay. I loved that show! And when I first started hearing Freddie speak years ago I always thought his accent reminded my of Dr. Bombay....especially the way he said "oh dear". Weird, the things that come to the mind randomly!

Katydid, how cool is it that you got the puzzle! Oddly enough, as I was looking at something the other day an ad came up for Zazzle, and that you can custom order puzzles through them. So I guess if you have any future puzzle picture needs, you know you can go through them! I watched Rudi yesterday and his show was done so much better. I will say though, I felt like we got a little less information, since now he is able to show videos more easily he defaults to that. Sometimes when he was rambling he spilled good info! I subscribed to his YouTube channel and saw an interview with Roger Taylor for an online concert that Roger did a few years back. I'm listening to it now, and it is really good! I think I will have to invest in some of Roger's albums, I like his voice and his lyrics are always so good...very deep and ironic. Rudi directed the concert and I think he did a great job on it.
Love is still the answer, take my hand...

Mhz, Thanks I was so worried about those birds I just knew she was gonna kill them.Maybe she is doing it to keep the baths clean.I feel so much better.Im with you on my rights I like all mine too.Here in the US we got that dumb president that lacks human intelligence and is a insult to women.The whole time I'm looking at him all I see is his makeup I got no problem with a dude in a little makeup but around his eyes are extremely light and the rest of his face is red.Its foundation and the wrong color.I just can't take him seriously.Well that's enough of that hope you are well and finding something to keep you busy.Tape yourself singing bohemian Rhapsody we want to hear you I bet you are a hoot.

I pay attention to detail I have since I was very young.Nothing gets past me.I was looking at pics of Freddie and his female friend companions and how did this get past me.Oh those companions were drum roll please Mary and Barbara in those pictures of course being the little charmer he must of been was kissing them.But there was a huge problem tight lips in all pics no tongue.Did noone ever notice this.Thats how you might kiss a friend or maybe your mom , sister, I just thought if you guys had time you could look back at some of his picks with these two ladies.It's definately not how a guy would lay one on a female he is with.I'm sure some of these photos were taken without prior arrangement or unexpected.

Yah, the US is opening may 1st Oklahoma is anyway.
