I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but a few weeks ago, John and I saw Queen. I could wax (Bohemian?) rhapsodic about the whole thing – I mean, it was an incredible show – and go into details about how the music of Queen defined our lives (a la my “Salad Diaries” posts from earlier this year), but John’s a professional journalist. He’s said all this with much more eloquence and economy than I could here.
And besides, then I couldn’t plug the fact that his essay about it has been posted in its entirety on Queen’s tour website. Not only that, but he got a personal response to the essay from Brian May himself.
My boy, he’s wicked talented.
