I think i peed a little

1. OK, maybe I'm stupid, but I've seen this twice today. I assume this is making fun

of that idiot Kentucky clerk of the court, but who the hell is this guy?

[ohheckyeah]

2. Freddie Mercury of

Queen. He sang Fat Bottom Girls and he was gay.

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. I have heard that in the song "We Are The Champions" that he was talking about HIV in these lyrics:

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

{emphasis mine}

Whether true or not, I couldn't tell you, but it does seem fitting....

Peace,

Ghost

[ohheckyeah]

13. It does seem

fitting as he died from Aids as I'm sure you know. Never thought about it being in the lyrics.

[caraher]

14. Pretty much impossible

The song was released in 1977, long before there was any significant awareness of AIDS (maybe 5 years or so before the first talk of an epidemic)

[-none]

3. And what was his job?

[ohheckyeah]

4. I just added that to my post.

He sang Fat Bottom Girls and he was gay.

I wish I was young enough to not remember him. Well, not really - he was phenomenal. He died in 1991.

[Initech]

5. How can you have a Queen thread without the song?

[Brickbat]

6. Bisexual, but still funny.

[ohheckyeah]

7. Mary Austin

the love of his life said he realized he was gay.

8. brian may wrote the song

And yes Freddie was perfect singing it

[Fearless]

10. Thank goodness it wasn't a prerequisite!

If you haven't heard their live shows, YouTube is your friend. Start with Wembley 1986 if you don't know the lesser known tracks.

12. Sorry I duped your thread, didn't see it... Peace! n/t
