Freddie Mercury Google doodle

Googles doodle in honour of what would have been Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday.

The most awesome voice in rock, what a loss...

Actually, I have to say Freddie had a reasonably profound effect on my world view. When I discovered he was gay, I was a typically bigoted ignorant young teenage male (the fact that I didn't realise he was gay probably tells you as much as you need to know about me at that age).
I only found out he was "a queer" when he died, but I'd always thought his voice and music were epic. It forced to re-evaluate my stereo-typed view of the world, which lead to a number of important epiphanies in my life.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I'm wrong, I hope he's up there jamming with Hendrix, John Bonham and John Entwistle.

All of Queen's concert at Wembley Stadium in 1986 is streaming--maybe just for today?

I was 2 when Freddie died, but my mom always played his music around the house. Finally when I was around 11 years old I got curious about how he died.

I knew it was something tragic, but never knew what. So, I went up to my mom and asked

"Freddie Mercury died of an Over-dose, right?"

She looked me dead in the eye and said

"yes... Of Aids."

I've never forgot about that.
