A Question About Freddie To Get You Thinking

Here's something to get you thinking.

Lets assume Freddie kept a load of diary's and just before his death, someone stole them and then sold the rights to them to a publisher who then printed them. Would you then buy them because your a fan of Freddie and collect everything to do with him, or burn them because these were the personal and private thoughts of him?

Now be honest in your answer here.

As for me, I'd burn them but I am just curious to know what you guys might think cause I often think that certain questions that keep arising could be well and truly answered i.e what was Bo Rhap about or who gave him Aids, etc.

Oh dear, I hate these kinds of questions but I'd keep the diaries and stuff... and then I'd probably read them. I know he'd want his privacy but they're probably worth too much to burn them, you know? Ergg...

Thanks Matt

Well if they were getting published anyway I'd read them. Seeing as Freddie is still alive according to Fatty this is purely speculation.

God, that's a really tough question. Honestly, if they were published, my curiosity would probably get the better of me after a while, and I'd end up reading them...
I think they'd be rather interesting, but I guess there are some things I'd rather not know... the meaning of Bo Rhap, for example. It'd rather spoil it I think, but that's just my opinion.

I'm sure if someone stole them, Queen Productions would sue the ever-living daylights out of the publishing company that eventually published them, to the point that they would be retracted from sale and everyone who had bought a copy would be banished to the outer ranks of Hell.

But, hypothetically speaking, yes I would.

I would read them

I would read them too

Then again, at the rate Brian's going he might just print them--more money for Queen Productions!

Well, I already violated one man's privacy by reading his diaries nine or so years after he died (and they were very interesting and extremely helpful), why not another's?

I trust I don't have to explain who I'm talking about.

Curiosity would get the better of me, because it always does. But the likelihood of it happening is very slim, as Freddie was Mr. Private Person.

No probs geeks, at least you gave your answer.

And if anyone's curious as to why I thought of this question in the first place. It was because I was watching "An Audience With Kenneth Williams" on the Biography channel and happened to remember that this happened to him.

Dave

I wouldn't. No way. That kind of thing is WAY too personal. I didn't think it was a good idea to print Kurt Cobain's diaries either, It's quite disrespectful to the deceased. I for one would feel violated if anyone were to read my diaries, journals, notebooks, etc... That's just wrong. So, No. I'd not even give it a first glance.

Manda, Keep that fire burning! I have some stuff to throw in. LOL!

Actually, I thought it was a good idea in retrospect to publish the Cobain diaries. I had doubts about it at first, but upon reading them - well, let's just say it gave me a whole new reason to hate Richard Lee. It made a view people see him as a human being rather than a god. In his case, we needed that. Oh, did we ever need that.

Freddie, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter. He was an odd character. I don't think there was anyone who fully understood him - I don't think he understood himself. Reading his diaries might just freak a lot of people out. But for we hardcore fans, it might answer a lot of questions.

I'd read them.
Hell, I don't think Anne Frank is too bothered about people studying her diaries at school, and I don't think Freddie's hypothetical diaries are any different.
