The Show Must Go On
I've been thinking about Freddie Mercury and Queen over the last day or so because of this story describing how a celebration of his birthday is going to be cancelled in Tanzania because it is a Muslim country and Mercury was gay (he appears in drag in this video); with all due respect to Muslim orthodoxy, I have to say that I think that's a really stupid reason to cancel the party. I mean, is it asking too much to consider what Mercury brought to the world through his prodigious vocal talent and stage presence?
Anywhere, here is the song and video that, I believe, was his finale with Queen.
(The hell with it...let's just enjoy it and let anyone who wants to have a pissing contest do so by themselves.)
