I bought the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack and I play it in the car really LOUD!

Crazy old white haired lady driving down the street.

Love it, love them, LOVE Freddie forever. 70 years old, good music never dies and should always be played so others can hear it.

Every time I played it if my a dad was home he’d come in and stop and listen. He was into big bands Count Basie being his favorite but he loved this song.

And the line mama I killed a man was changed from I kissed a man.

My 14 year old self aspired to be Mrs. Brian May. Alas, it was not meant to be (yet?).

Love them all, always.

That reminds me of the video for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," with those gorgeous skinny women in hot pants...I was so jealous!

How about those riffs, tho!

I always like this one. Even though Freddie was the masterful front man, they were all at the top of their game. Roger Taylor's drumsticks are a blur!

Watching someone get amazed by something outside of their comfort zones by something I really, really dig is its own pretty good high.

Never much cared for them myself - but it was fun seeing him sing along and mimic some of Freddy Mercury's expressions.

Those two had never heard “Bohemian Rhapsody” before? What a revelation that must have been!

STILL one of the all-time GREATEST rock songs!

I didn’t really appreciate Queen back then, just focused on their hard rock. And Skynyrd before the plane crash. I think that was my first outdoor concert.

Can't resist this. I'm a bit older than Wayne and Garth but I could certainly relate. Jamming with the buds in the beater. That's me before the big hair cut and 4 years in the Navy. Back when I actually had hair.
