Freddie Mercury Fans

 Here is the archived version of the article from the Daily Mail. (Does not give them clicks.)

I do not believe this far-fetched story because 1. I don't see Freddie as a faithful diarist and 2. Unless there are also secret recordings, he never wrote songs about this beloved child, or about beloved children, or about children. He wrote songs about cats. He wrote songs about Mary. He wrote songs about men. No "secret child of my heart" song? 3. Entire story of secretive child who wants this news out there while remaining private is ridiculous. 

I sort of wish it was true. I will probably read the book anyway. But I really can't believe it.

What about y'all? Am I being too skeptical?

Saw this over on Reddit and thought you would like it.




There are more at the Reddit post.

I have neglected this community, as I have neglected DW in general, for which I apologize. 

Last month I watched the BBC documentary "Freddie Mercury: A Life in Ten Pictures." It's pretty good, as these documentaries go. It's streaming for free (with ads) on Crackle in the US. 

Did anyone else see it? Thoughts?

Also, how is everyone doing? Are you even still on DW? <3 <3 <3

 Thanks to the World Zoroastrian Organization! His sister Kashmira was there for the signpost unveiling. The street is near where they lived when they first moved to England. Here is the story from Reuters. 

 I apologize for not posting up about the recent birthday. I meant to but first week of classes was a lot. Also, I still haven't fixed the layout. Sorry Freddiefans! It's on the to do list.

All I've got is this Rolling Stone interview with Spike Edney, which was pretty interesting. 

 I see that photobucket has ruined the image I was using as the header for this community. I will try to fix it before the end of the summer. If anyone has any photos that would make good header images for this community, add them in a comment. 

Communities need interior design too!

 

 I was driving home from work on Thursday and BoRhap came on the radio. Of course I sang along. After it was over the DJ started chatting about Queen's new popularity in the wake of the film, which is about to make $1 BILLION. The songs are back on the top of the charts. And he furthermore believes that this film alone has brought more young people to appreciate Classic Rock and more listeners to the Classic Rock radio station from whence he spoke. 

Then he predicted that many young people are buying tickets to the new Queen tour fully expecting Rami Malek to come out on stage and they are going to be really confused when it's Adam Lambert. 

I was really struck like this because I don't think I've really taken on board the immense  popularity of the film. Are people excited for the new tour?
