Rich Engle Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 There have been many amazing front men in rock. Freddie Mercury transcended rock.Freddie Mercury (Wiki) And, there is a lot to say about this brilliant, "beloved of God" musician. A lot. I'm not going to do an academic thing about him. If you aren't familiar, just look him up (or his group "Queen"). I will simply point you at his opera "Barcelona" (arguably his last, and culmination work before he died) work; which he did with Montserrat Caballé. Happy BD, Freddie. You left it with us, with style, brilliance, and power.rde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Coates Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I wasn't familiar with him and I don't like opera, but I liked the passionately fierce enthusiastic celebratory energy of this, so I'll have to check him out further. I take it this was done for the Barcelona Olympics. Edited September 6, 2011 by Philip Coates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
