I have always been a Queen fan. That's Queen, as in "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Another One Bites The Dust", not as in Elizabeth II of England, or whoever. Yesterday would have been Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday. For those of you who just crawled out of the cabbage patch, Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of Queen, who died of HIV/AIDS in November of 1991. A more magnificent frontman you couldn't ever find. Just look at the official Queen channel on YouTube, at the concert clips, and you'll see what I mean. FU, Justin Bieber. Oh, and Vanilla Ice, for that stupid "Ice, Ice Baby" bullshit. If there's a hell (and there isn't), you deserve to burn in it for ripping off Queen. And denying it. Asshole.
In any case, Google's doodle for yesterday (the rest of the world) and today (US), is dedicated to Freddie. They also have a blog post written by the guitarist for Queen, Brian May, who is also an astrophysicist. Yeah! It's here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-birthday-freddie-mercury.html, and it's wonderful.
Happy birthday, Freddie. You are sorely missed.
