Don't Stop Me Now, I'm listening to Freddy and loving Queen
#gottalove YouTube commenters!
The quintessential Brit rockers, Queen, continue to be controversial.
Reading the comments is a pastime I must not indulge in
or I'll be at it all day. Trolls and bullies show up everywhere, but how we handle them is a testament to our own character. E.g.. after 37,000 "Dislikes" to this rock classic, Queen fans weigh in with good humor.
This is how to handle critics!

Freddie: "when the fans stop buying our music, I'll quit and become a strip artist or something"
Interviewer: "and to what music would you strip"
Freddie: "to all the songs I've written, c'mon now"
How anyone could fail to love Freddy
is one of life's great mysteries, more unfathomable than the Bermuda Triangle or the building of the Pyramids of Egypt.
Don't stop me now!
I'm listening to Freddy, and looking forward to the movie about Queen:
Bohemian Rhapsody is an upcoming 2018 biographical film about the British rock band Queen, focusing on lead singer Freddie Mercury's life and leading up to Queen's Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium in 1985
Big Disgrace,
losing the best possible man to play Freddy - Sacha Baron Cohen - who quit the film on the grounds that "certain people wanted the film to be more about the great successes of the still very current band Queen than about the extraordinary and non-PG-friendly life of the guy who was their frontman," and
Not a word of dialogue is spoken in the trailer that doesn’t pertain to the music of Queen: nothing of Mercury’s love life, no illness, no emotion, nothing dangerous or overtly queer to offend anyone. To quote Brian May: big disgrace! The whole thing has the flavour of something strenuously queerwashed, which has removed everything wild and interesting about Mercury. This trailer would appear to presage a film with no interest in sounding the ambiguities of his life, the abrasive queerness of his perspective, the virulence of the homophobic press in their attacks on him – what, in a word, made him tick.
See more at Freddie Mercury biopic trailer: killer Queen or queerwashed cop-out?
Well, the other band members are extraordinary,
with Brian May's PhD in physics and all the other attainments of these high-IQ, high-octane, highly educated musicians. But, yes, the movie evidently fails to celebrate Freddy in-depth, with all the unorthodox and controversial issues. My own sister quit listening to Queen when her husband said none of that gay guy's stuff would be played in his house. (Of course I'd have tossed out the husband and kept Freddy.)
Bohemian Rhapsody movie: release date, cast, trailer, soundtrack and all the details
Mr Robot actor Rami Malek will play Freddie Mercury in the movie. Ali G star Sacha Baron Cohen originally expected to play Freddie. However, he left the project due to "artistic differences", with Brian May describing Cohen as "an arse". Oh dear.
EastEnders actor Ben Hardy will play Roger Taylor, Midsomer Murders' Gwilym Lee plays Brian May, and Joseph Mazzello (better known as the kid from Jurassic Park) plays John Deacon.
Bohemian Rhapsody
will be released in UK cinemas on October 24, 2018. Americans have to wait for it to arrive at US cinemas on November 2.
Meanwhile,
I'm back to listening to more Freddy - and Brian, Roger, and John!
And laughing with the good-spirited YouTube commenters who know better than to take trolls seriously.
I love Queen! This trailer doesn't look like a PG version about their current state. Although I did saw them live with Adam Lambert and it was really great. But you can't replace Freddie. He was one of a kind talent.
Aw, man, you saw them live!!! FREDDY RULES but I'm glad the band lives on
I love live concerts. Try to see as many as I can by my favorites.
How can anyone not love Freddie?
He was a true musical genius.

My brother in law cannot abide gay men. -_-
I have to stop upvoting for a while - just checked on my voting power: 38.50%, full in 74 hours
Dang, that's low!
Yeah, mine was at around 40% after not being on Steemit much for the past couple of days. Can't say I'm impressed thus far with HF20.
I grew up in California, and moved to the Tampa Bay area, and being involved in the art community in both places, I had several gay friends. And watching some of the crap they had to put up with from intolerant fools was often heartbreaking.
Of course I also remember doing an outdoor show with a friend of mine, shortly after I split from my ex, and for some unknown reason I kept getting hit on by a number of the women there, which my friend thought was completely hilarious.
Too bad I'm heterosexual. It was pretty funny. ;-)
