If there are tidbits, like what exactly were Mitch Mitchell's drum tips to another young drummer at the time, that could be good too, but I don't even need the "what later famous and semi-famous people said or did that I observed" to make the book worthwhile. Of course writing a book length manuscript takes tremendous effort, and there are "opportunity costs" to consider. Silly should do with his life what he wants. but I've appreciated the small bits he's dropped on the AGP.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go A little high, little low Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, oh oh Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, oh oh (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, figaro, magnifico I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come easy go will you let me go Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go (Will not let you go) let me go (never, never let you go) let me go (never let me go) Oh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh baby can't do this to me baby Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah Nothing really matters Anyone can see Nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me Anyway the wind blows Songwriters: Freddie Mercury Bohemian Rhapsody lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC |

A nearly endless list , I could just go on and on . The only rock opera's that I care about are Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar . Once Queen got to their third album , they had been transformed into misguided pseudo operatic wannabes . What a sad loss because their first two albums kicked butt . |

Misguided, pseudo, and operatic - that was out of their reach? I think they got there.

Ah no it'll never get old for me, and I can't wait to see the film.

I actually like them more now than i did back then -But the eighties and nineties typically were not my fortay -
I recently bought one of their concert DVDS - and saw the movie .( i wouldnt bother buying the dvd of that movie) The movie did not impress me half as much as the concert in Wembley stadium -i like Fridays concert way better than Saturdays -it had more life and the sound was better. I had to put their greatest hits on my MP3 player-

It falls into the overplayed on the radio category for me. It was nice for a while, but I got tired of hearing it.
Same goes for a host of other songs like; Heart's "Barracuda".

Wasn't John Barleycorn by Trad? Sure, he wrote a lot of good songs, but have you ever met him in person? I hear he has this air of mystery about him, but really you don't want to know him.

I wonder if he's related to Unknown?
