When Freddie Mercury Met Kenny Everett...

It was more interesting know about Kenny,I didn't know anything of he (just he was a DJ),All the rest I will take it just like "reference"

Muchas gracias Rien!

To all this converstion, I just want to mention that Jim Hutton tells in his book that Freddie did a HIV-test in early 1987 and then he told Jim the result.
So, I just do not know about the truth of all this 1984, 1985 stories, because, I guess he had done at least one test before 1987.
And he really sarted to change his lifestyle by then, by early 1987...

Did or didnt.. it was too late.. Life is such a bitch.. U suddenly wake up in a completely another reality.. just yesterday it was all so worryless and just the next day it all is going to change forever...

It really is pointless asking who he contracted it from. It is like asking who you caught a cold from after a day out shopping. It could have been any one of lots of people. I am quite sure that Freddie was exposed to the virus on numerous, yet separate occasions.

I wouldn't be ruling out the very early 80s in the States as an option for his first exposure, either.

It is pointless.. in the same breath.. what is pointly?.. Its all posthumous anyway.. in the same way.. we could ask why anything that is about Freddie keeps on interesting people.. birth, life, death.. the same really.. I mean.. to find the answers to all those questions in our tongues.. we should really study life itself.. cos the real answers are there not in one man's life.. as one subject. Freddie was man amongs others..

What I find curious and pitiful in the same time.. is how mundane people are.. no spirituality in any degree is to be found around here.. spirituality is the way to really understand it all..

U can get the whole document from me also.. by MSM messenger..

However, I think that the speculation of from whom Freddie got the virus is worthless. As YV indicated, Freddie could have contracted the virus in the 70's. If Freddie and Kenny caught the virus in '85, they would both likely still be alive today - Just like Jim Hutton.

Sicmot - please stop taking the criticism personally. YV levelled strong criticism, but she did not attack you in my view, but rather "attacked" the documentary. [/QUOTE]

About the virus itself.. U say "If Freddie and Kenny caught the virus in '85, they would both likely still be alive today - Just like Jim Hutton.

Now Ur missing some serious facts about the virus.. which I dont blame you.. since the virus is a real masterpiece of "nature" (Personally I seriously doubt that it's origins are purely from nature but human has some influence on it ;)"

HIV has the ability to mutate more rapidly than any other virus known... so lets assume.. Freddie and Jim got it shortly after Kenny got it (from nicolai ;) so there's 2 person before Freddie.. and god knows how many before nicolai had it.. and.. everytime it passes from person to another.. it's genetical information changes.. it forms new mutations.. just like it does inside its current hosts.. so we can assume that.. when it was passed to Freddie it was in more lethal and aggressive form than it was when it passed to Jim.. (my hypothese only here c'mon, give me a choice ;) So that itself could explain why Jim is still alive besides the facts we know by the "books" that Jim treat his body more favourably than freddie did..

U know.. I could go deeper and deeper with these associations.. and tell U more about this issue than there is pages in bible.. but I wont.. but sheer facts are here.. so its not really any question whether the facts in the doc are what really happened by year to year..

Watched this documentary and it seems they're schedules just kept them apart through much of the mid 80's onwards. The "falling out" was blown out of proportion. Saw a photo of Freddie with Tony Bastin Nicolai and Kenny in a restaraunt or bar which looks like it's from about 1981/2. Kenny no doubt introduced Nicolai to Fred around this time and Fred allegedly had a fling with the Russian. Fred was HIV positive from NY a few years previously and probably infected Nicolai, rather than the other way round. Nicolai then infected Kenny and Pepe who died around the early/mid 90's, five years after Freddie and Nicolai

There isn't much evidence to suggest that Nicolai flew to NY for clubbing and brought the virus back to the UK. For a start, the guy was unemployed and homeless and living with Kenny through this period. Neither did Tony ever visit NY much either. Kenny may have done, though. He had the means, as did Freddie.

13 years between posts must be some sort of record.

Yeah. Still figuring out who infected who. Silly.

I thought the docu was interesting. I didn't know much about Kenny before. It's impossible to say who
Infected who at what time. Kenny and Freddie both partied really hard, they both seemed to have that
Denial that it wouldn't happen to them so they carried on. I hope that the stories are true that they patched things up before Freddie died.
