^ I was reading that and I can sorta see it lining up to the song being discussed.
Or maybe I just went stark raving mad...

FriedChicken: "heroine and gay sex doesn't sound Freddie???
Are you sure you are talking about the same Freddie as we do?"
What I meant is: I don't think Freddie used one of those topics anywhere else at that time. I'd be surprised if he wrote the lyrics to deliver hidden messages about the life of a rock star – "sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll". But who knows, Freddie surprised us more than once.

Freddie used Cocaine, not Heroine.

The whole point of the QII album was black and white, good and evil, and Freddie was portraying both the black and white Queens - black nail varnish on one hand, etc.
There was an interesting interpretation earlier in the year that said it may have been about a rough patch with Mary, but I think it's more of a predecessor of BoRhap than people know, and not just musically. I think MOTBQ is Freddie analysing his new Mercurial persona from many different points of view.
Either that, or it's about that black Kensington baker woman - that's plausable too.
As for the racial slur, it was 1974 - people still called brown sugar 'nigger sugar', and Brazil nuts 'nigger toes'. Way back before the advent of the PC movement.

Thanks - no, under British law, people of African descent could not handle baked goods in any area of London until 1982, so the idea of a black baker woman in Kensington in 1974 is right out.
The PC, or Politically Correct movement, was the widespread advent of trying to please everyone all the time, especially in regards to not offending anyone during reference: ie) retards are now "mentally handicapped", secretaries are "administrative assistants" and whores are "recreational engineers" - the list goes on and on.
Oh Mother Mercury...

I honestly don't know, and I think that Freddie Mercury himself would have to think about it. Remember when he was talking about Bo Rhap in an interview where he said,'When people ask me what Bohemian Rhapsody is about I say 'I don't know,'
Now truthfully Freddie must've had an idea where the song came from and the same for MOTBQ. But if you were to ask him then he'd probably say something along the lines of 'I don't know, I don't like my songs to be analysed, I want people to listen and enjoy them,' or possibly 'I hate writing lyrics I'm not a poet, I wish someone could do it for me...' I'm guessing that Freddie was inventing some kind of mystic fairytale scene with that album, and the idea of a mysterious, beautiful, evil woman, a witch of some kind made sense! The nigger-sugar is just brown sugar, nothing offensive there, only when it's used on people I believe does it become a really offensive term!

I really hate it when people ask about the meanings of songs...

^Well why did you come to a thread indicating the need to know of the meaning of the song 'March of the Black Queen'? Stop trying to make other people feel bad on account of your own insecurities!;D

Hey, I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. It was just an opinion. It'll never happen again.
Next time I'll make other people feel GOOD on account of my own insecurities.
