I have been glued to channel 27 Sirius for a week now. Unfortunately it is temporary and only until August 13th I believe, or the 17th, can't remember.

I have been listening to the Sirius XM Queen channel too...and have been amazed at some of the deep tracks they play. I really thought it would all be the later 80s stuff, with BoRap thrown in here and there. It’s a nice surprise! I just wish it was going to stay on air longer too.
On Rudi...I haven’t watched this week’s show yet, but judging by some of his latest posts and shows he seems to be losing it a little. Last week’s show was a mess, and he ended up doing it over. And then he does the shows without a shirt on! Now come on, I know it’s warm in Florida but he’s inside and he is doing a show for people all over, and frankly I don’t want to see his nakedness, lol! Take the effort to put on a shirt, for Pete’s sake. Then he goes on a mask wearing rant on IG, with so much misinformation in it I can’t even start...he said the government recommends we all stay 9 meters apart now.....huh? That is 27 feet!? My husband is usually around when I listen to the shows, and he heard that rant and was just in disbelief. It’s interesting, because I said to him...it sure seems like Rudi is on something...or else he broke his health kick and is on the sauce! I don’t know, just lately he has seemed different, maybe he is off ADHD meds....maybe he is on something else, or maybe just having some kind of a health issue. As far as getting kicked out, something makes me think he is probably the tenant from hell that is always complaining, having issues, and irritating those around him. I mean, he is running in his condo for an hour at a time, if the floors or walls are thin that would get on my nerves. I really hope he is ok, but things are off and I’m not sure what is happening with him. The only good news is that he said Brian May will be on his show in a couple of weeks.

MHZ, That’s kinda what I meant your words were much better put in a kind way. Usually once you have been an addict all it takes is a trigger and it’s back to buisness again I seen my mother struggle and destroy so much. You could of told her that her mom was on fire in the street and if she was fixing to use she would say hold on a minute let me take this hit I will put out that fire in a minute. Her bf and father of her youngest children got scared when he couldn’t wake her put her and their children In the car got to hospital got wheelchair she was already changing colors. He put her in wheel chair handed his 5 year old daughter her purse and put his 2 year old son out of the car and took off. She was dead with two small children standing there. Drugs takes your morals it changes your behavior makes you do things you would never do not high. So I was just seeing some signs in him I felt I seen in my own mother as a child that’s all I meant I’m sorry I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.Im not perfect by no means I’m an alcoholic that’s my drug of choice it’s just as damaging to yourself and others. It’s all a struggle.
When I think of drugs and what it does to families I think of AC/DC”s song highway to hell. It sure is that.
You guys that have Sirius XM are so lucky! I'd love to take a road trip and listen to that.
MHZ, thanks for your take on the Rudi situation. I stopped watching him after three or four episodes because it was just too difficult to listen to him meander around topics or go on and on about the same thing. Frankly, I found it kind of boring. So instead of listening to an entire broadcast I check into his YouTube channel once in a while and listen to bits and pieces. I did listen to his rant last night about the eviction, but I really should not have commented on it with such a limited exposure to him over the last few months. I don't even check his IG as often as I was because of his delivery. He's larger than life, and that's ok, but it wears me out. LOL, and MHZ, I agree with you on the shirtless stuff. I mean, why?? I think there must be a much bigger piece of the eviction story that he's not telling. I wonder if he's had warnings.
Amidds, I like the idea of the t-shirt quilt. I wear a lot of tees though and I'm not ready to turn them into a quilt. Oh, LOL, who am I kidding? I'm not crafty, it would never happen. Can you share a picture of the one you made??
Chevy, I'm sorry about your mother. The story is heartbreaking.

.......after Rudi’s eviction notice, who knows how long the book gets finished. I do hope for his sake he gets this resolved, also for his eldest who planned on studying marine biology in Florida and would live there in the same place.
Chevyman, no words.....

I was quite excited to get my Queen stamp set in the mail yesterday. Very nice. I have it on my computer desk near my Queen Royal Mint coin and my Lego Freddie!
Before yesterday, I had only watched one of the Rudi Live broadcasts...not during the actual broadcast, but afterwards on YouTube. That was probably a couple of months ago. However, after all of the recent Rudi discussion, I did go back and watch about 10 minutes of the last two shows...specifically the parts about wearing masks, his impending eviction, and how it is too hot to wear a shirt. Hmmm...let's just say he seems to have some stresses in his life. Some time off to relax and regroup might do him some good.
Amidds...I love the idea of the tee-shirt quilt. What a wonderful keepsake. I know of a lady who had a memory quilt made for her son after his father, her husband, died when her son was young. She used clothing that had belonged to his father. I'm sure her son will always remember the moment the quilt was given to him.
MHZ and Katydyd...I love black tee-shirts...definitely my first choice! White would be my second. My two Queen concert shirts are black.
Chevy...Very sorry for your painful past! I hope you continue on your healing journey. You mentioned liking the song "Bridge Over Troubled Water". One of my favorite versions of the song was done by the American Idol contestant Clay Aiken. His version is faster and has a different feel to it, but I think it was well done. I loved the gospel choir accompaniment. Here is a link to his American Idol performance of that song:

Jo T...Thanks for passing along the link of Brian's band mates singing "Sail Away Sweet Sister". I agree...they did an amazing job. Very talented musicians!

Lsgp, well, that's disappointing! I was hoping the Queen channel was gonna last! I've only been listening to it a couple of days but I love that it does seem to be ALL Queen - no "Queen-like" bands, and little interview snippets.
Chevy, so sorry you had to go through that! Absolutely heartbreaking and scary.
Katy, I'll try to remember to take a pic of the quilt tonight. It was seriously easy-if you can cut squares out of cloth and use a sewing machine lol. It was a bit time consuming but well worth it. Like I previously mentioned, Projectrepat does a nice job if you ever decide to go that route and they always have massive sales.
I have to admit, I seriously LOL when you all mentioned a shirtless Rudi! The mental image my mind conjured up was not pretty and I'm happy I missed it! Whatever he's going through, I really hope he sorts it out.
I did order the Presentation Pack of the Queen stamps and have not received them yet. I know it took a bit to get the coin and the world wasn't quite as messed up then but I'm excited to see it.

Rainbow, Thank you I just love that song so much. My grandparents raised three of my mothers children which included me thank God . But the two children by that other man went into foster care they never had a chance. When they aged out I found my sister she had already been in prison lost her children she reminded me so much of my mother. She told me my half brother had been murdered which was drug related and they don’t know who did it. I feel they didn’t have a chance at all. It makes me thankful I had my grandmother and came from good Christian people.The other two children’s father was a member of the hells angels club so they had a real hard life when they got out of foster care.
Thank you Katydyd!
Lsgp and anyone else that has Sirius XM - Queen station reverted back to Deep Tracks this am for me, did that happen to anyone else? I'm gonna be a little upset if they stopped it early!
Almost embarrassed to say I wasn't aware of this: "Don't Stop Me Now with long lost guitars" played on that channel yesterday. I had never heard of that. I tried to Google it and not much info - just that Brian didn't like the song so, overnight, added in more riffs. Has anyone heard that? Know more info?
Katy-gonna try to attached a small portion of the blanket. Had to fold it over to block out shirts with names/schools on it but you can get the idea ;)

Amidds, the Queen channel has switched back to deep tracks for me too....I am bummed. I heard on an ad that you can still get the Queen channel for a few more weeks if you stream it online, I haven’t checked that yet. On the Don’t Stop Me Now with guitar backing, I knew of that. Brian never really liked the song and thought it was too light with only piano to drive it. So he went back and put heavier guitar on it, Freddie (and the rest, I think) didn’t like the guitar heavy version. Brian said that since it was Freddie’s song, he got the final decision and so it went with mostly piano. I *think* Brian talks about it in the extras of the Days of Our Lives documentary. It is on YouTube somewhere, I’m sure.
Rudi has said that basically he has not left his apartment at all since this began back in February. I wonder if that has contributed to his current moods? He could be going a bit stir crazy. Also, I recall him saying at one point that he has major anxiety issues, and so leaving his apartment required sort of “practicing” at going out again. This is all a part of his need to have on a mask, a face shield, and gloves. He put them on once and walked outside and then it seemed liked he holed up in his condo again. Also interesting, it seems he has 2 condos next to each other, one he lives in and the other is his office. Judging by the amount of stuff in there, I sure wouldn’t want to be the one to pick him up and move!
Chevy, I’m so sorry about your mom, what an awful thing to experience! My heart goes out to you and your siblings! God bless your grandparents for raising you.

MHZ, I really resented my mother for many years she left me my brother and sister with my Dad. He was a Vietnam veteran so he was suffering from ptsd and couldn’t care for us. She basically got up one morning jumped on a back of a Harley and left us. She had two more children with this other man and those are the children that ended up in foster care. Since my father wasn’t fit to raise us my grandparents took us I just wish they would’ve took Brooke and Todd but they didn’t.When I met Brooke it was like we were from different worlds she has lived a hard life she was born in 1985 and she looks my age and I’m 47. She has lived the school of hard knocks It really kills me when I think about it. I wonder why we couldn’t all be together my grands were Christian people and taught me the right way to be. They didn’t have that opportunity it’s said.
Amidds, I absolutely love the quilt! Now I'm sorry that I donated all of my tee's to Good Will. I had the JT shirts, lots of school spirit shirts, sports tees and lots of fun shirts I used for different science themes at school. It would have been so cool. I wouldn't have been able to make the quilt myself, but I would have paid someone to do it.
MHZ I am so happy that you posted your thoughts on Rudi. I know he did his share of drugs in the day, but I had never heard that he had an addiction problem with either drugs or alcohol so I just don't buy that he somehow backslid and that is the problem now. I firmly believe ADHD explains some of his unfocused talk, but your thoughts make a lot of sense to me. As far as I know you are the only one who has faithfully watched each of his Backstage broadcasts so you would have a good feel for his reaction to the pandemic. When I was watching regularly, and again in the snippets I've watched since then, I sensed a high level of anxiety over the virus. He has seemed to be more afraid than I would have expected. You said that he has anxiety issues and had to practice to leave the apartment. To me, that says a lot and I feel a lot of compassion for him. The man lives alone, away from his home country and his children. I would not blame him for being fearful. I feel very shut in my home and very much shut out of the life I was living, but I am still able to see my closest friend and my near-by family. What would it be like if I had no such contact? I don't think he can be blamed for being a little stir crazy. I wear a mask everywhere, but I don't wear gloves or a face shield. That signals a high level of fear to me. I hope he is able to resolve the apartment situation. I did hear him say that he has the office we see in the videos, but he also has the neighboring condo as his home. My heart goes out to him and I hope he is able to find some peace.
