On This Day In History....... 1946 ..... A Kind Of Magic.....

[ToraToraTora]

The legend that is Farrokh Bulsara was born in Zanzibar. We will rock you Freddie!

[ToraToraTora]

well I thought Freddie might induce a couple of posts!

Voila!
Some folk have to warm up a bit, once the mercury rises you should get more answers ;)

[ToraToraTora]

I just want it all choux!

Did you know the song Killer Queen was actually about Freddie himself?

[choux]

lol, TTT, the show must go on.

P.S. I like this little thought train of historical data, covers all sorts.
Just a pity I missed yesterday's ;)

I remember the night Freddie died, I was doing B&B in a Rectory (of all places) very close to Hammersmith Hospital. I spent a few lunch hours eating a sandwich next to Wormwood Scrubs. Nice park though not too keen on all the rolls of barbed wire just yards away from me.

Freddie was born exactly 2 months to the day before me.
Had he lived, he would have been 77 years old.
Wonder if he would still be performing.
We will never know.

Of course he would have still been performing, you would have had to drag him off stage. Wasn't his catchphrase "Don't Stop Me Now"? :-))

By the by, ZM, where did you read that re Killer Queen. I read/heard an interview with Freddie in which he claimed it was about a very high-class call-girl?

I, personally, believe the lyrics in 'BoRap' were biographical.
