Fantastic talent. Broken soul.
Better than Perry Como?
I heard someplace that he never had his overbite/bucktooth condition corrected because he thought it would affect the character of his vocalization.He thought it would end his career.
Agreed.
It’s hard to beat Fat Bottom Girls and the bass riffs are incredible.
Ah, you gonna take me home tonight
Ah, down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round
Hey, I was just a skinny lad, never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fannys, she was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey, hey
Whoo
I’ve been singing with my band, across the wire, across the land
I seen ev’ry blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time, Shawn
Oh, won’t you take me home tonight?
Oh, down beside your red firelight
Oh, and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round
Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin’ world go round
Hey, listen here
Now your mortgages and homes, I got stiffness in the bones
Ain’t no beauty queens in this locality, I tell you
Oh, but I still get my pleasure still got my greatest treasure
Heap big woman, you gone made a big man of me, now get this
Oh, you gonna take me home tonight
Oh, down beside that red firelight
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin’ world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin’ world go round
Get on your bikes and ride
Ooh yeah, oh yeah, them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls, yeah yeah yeah, yeah

Such a great talent and a sad ending (as with many).
Here’s a video of a friend of mine covering Bohemian Rhapsody live with a band. Trust me, it’s worth your time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGcDpnxtqsc
It was amazing how near the end, he was still able to summon enough energy to sing some of the final tracks, you never would have known he was sick from just hearing them. Probably was the reason he went downhill so fast, it took everything out of him.
How many partners do you suppose he had in the four years he kept his illness a secret?
I won't comment on his talent, but I strongly disagree(d) with his morals.
He was probably the best of his time. 20 years. I am getting old.
How many threads to we need commemorating homosexual zoroastrian crooner, Farrokh Bulsara?
Queen is one of my all time favorite bands. Freddy Mercury was one talented man. Too bad he was unable to contain his sexual urges.
Saw them twice in concert. Once right after their first album came out. I think they opened for Mott the Hoople.
Then again on the News of the World tour as the headline.
Both shows FABULOUS!
RIP Freddie Mercury.
