Today is Mr. Freddie Mercury’s 65th Birthday.
Queen is one of those legendary bands whom I loved,
the very first time I heard them.
How in the world can the power of Opera
and the might of Rock and Roll be merged together as one?
Just like how “Bohemian Rhapsody” showed us?
Yes. Queen did that.
The anthem of “We Will Rock You!”
and “We Are The Champions” being sung in every sports event.
Queen did that.
The synchronicity of hands with clenched fist and clapping was known
and understood every time someone performs “Radio Ga-Ga.”
Queen did that.
The Drums of Roger Taylor on the Coda of “Somebody To Love.”
The Bass of John Deacon on “Another One Bites The Dust.”
The Melodic Guitar Riffs of Brian May on “Killer Queen.”
And the Voice and Charisma of Freddie Mercury on each and every song they have done.
“That” is Queen.
My Radio, Cassette Player,
Walkman, CD Player, Mp3 Player,
Computer and even on my phone,
I always have my favourite Queen songs
added permanently.
I miss them being together.

“When I’m dead, I want to be remembered
as a musician of some worth and substance.”
[Freddie Mercury ~1946-1991]

We remember you, Sir.
We remember.

Oh and Hey!
Remember this?
