Sorry – I’ve been sick in bed for days! I didn’t even know the date today till about ten minutes ago – and there are still almost ten minutes left – and I never did get to that meditation on the demise of Borders and the Net Book Agreement that was in my head all day… bit ambitious maybe.
Anyway, I’ve quickly watched a few Queen videos, and I think this is really it. (I was thinking of We Will Rock You, but the official video is too funny, with Freddie tinted star glasses and Brian May’s moon boots…) So here’s to Freddie. Aka Farrokh Bulsara. 5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991. And you know, I never really listened to Queen myself, but I can still feel the sadness a little bit. He was something else. And there he is now, in the middle.
Awwwww…

Dear Katy
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Queen too. I’ve just sent you another burst of healing energy. You should be feeling the beneficial effects very shortly!
Best wishes from Simon

sigh. i remember the day he died. i was a student, and i was concentrating less hard on wordsworth at the time, and more on making costumes for the jets and the sharks for the christmas show. i went round to snowboy’s house, and we watched the freddy tribute on the telly. sigh.
