My 10 yo son is a Queen fan. He loves We are the Champions.

Hey Anna–

Good to hear from you. It’s been awhile.

Last question of the night. My scale shows an almost 5 lb. drop since Tuesday…is half of that water? (been doing low calorie and around 30 grams net carb and under/day)

It’s impossible to tell without doing a body composition analysis.

As an opera/concert singer, I have always been thrilled with Freddie Mercury. What annoys my friends even more, is that whatever his sexual orientation, I found him dominant and masculine and I’ve always been crazy about his singing.

It’s interesting that Wikipedia lists him as a tenor/baritone. There aren’t many classically-trained vocalists who can fit into more than one category.

If you like Freddie and Queen, check out British pop singer Mika, who has a similar rock/opera style. His album “Life in Cartoon Motion” includes a nod to Freddie in the song “Grace Kelly”. While it was a hit, grumpy types dissed Mika for his optimistic songs and over the top melodies. But, Queen guitarist Brian May weighed in favor of Mika. Those who like tightly-crafted positive pop songs and huge octave range should check out Mika.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give him a look.

seriously, where are they getting the kidney failure? Isn’t it if you already have a serious kidney problem it’s not good. Just where are they getting this from, and how could that lead to heart disease. Or are both of those statements just total crap?

I guess they inferred it from all the groups of bodybuilders (who eat enormous amounts of protein) they’ve seen gaggled around dialysis centers.

Here was a message one of my internet moms group friends wrote me on there today…she’s trying South Beach for 2 weeks. (she claims it’s the only healthy low carb diet). Sigh. What a surprise to hear this (it make me laugh and cry inside at the same time! or as you say, Jesus wept. )

“My friend Polly who I walked with this morning has her BS in Nutritional Science and I was talking a little bit about my phase 1 diet and how good I’ve done so far with her and she said that majority of Nutritionalists do not like the low carb diet as a lifestyle, because it leads to kidney failure and then causes (due to the kidney’s) heart failure. So you might not like it as much once you’re in it if the professors are teaching you the opposite of what you love and have passion for.”

I told them today I might go back to school to be a nutritionist. But I guess she has a point, how would I get through all the BS I’d have to learn but don’t agree with? Might have to wait another 20 years for that one…

Jesus did indeed weep.

Type in The World’s Greatest Rock gigs: Queen at Live Aid to Youtube and please have a ganders at this…quite quite superb and spine tingling esp. if one saw it live.

Also Jim Beach was like a Peter Grant-type manager.
Roger Taylor has or had a house in the Chiddingfold area and if you saw the area then you realize how much cash they made and cos of Beach hung onto it.

what a gem of a post! i was/am a huge freddie fan and had the pleasure of seeing queen in concert many times. i love the tunes you mentioned above plus “bicycle”, “crazy little thing called love”, “under pressure” and countless others. aids has claimed many many stars but few shined as bright as freddy’s. thanks for this post, it warmed my heart!

I’m jealous that you saw Freddie in concert. For him, I would have endured all that I hate about concerts. Unfortunately, I didn’t even know he existed until a few months ago. I missed that whole part of the rock music experience because I was so eaten up by classical music at the time that that’s all I listened to or cared about.

Cheers–

Thanks! I had no idea it was his birthday. I’ve been a fan since the first time I heard him. He was amazing.
