I had a music teacher tell me once that you can tell a real musician by how comfortable he is with his instrument (…pause). Freddie Mercury looks more comfortable on stage than B.B. King does with a guitar. He was a talented guy. If we can perform or put on a show half as good as Queen did in their day, then I’ll be happy. Real happy.
On a side note: My roommate kept playing covers of “Bohemian Rhapsody” today, and I thought to myself “this may be the only song that shouldn’t be covered.” Not because it’s like sacred or I’m an asshole purist, but because I can’t even envision how you’d do it.
Beyond all that, I just wanted to share one of my favorite single performances ever.
