Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit.
Last Thursday, November 24th 2011, marked the twentieth anniversary of the death of Freddie Mercury, the most incredible rock vocalist of all time. The music and lyrics he composed throughout his reasonably short life form the majority of my favourite songs. In fact, ‘Somebody To Love’ is a piece of music I will always love more than any other. It is beautiful from beginning to end, as are so many of Freddie’s songs. The passion and tenacity with which he chose to live are endless inspirations to my own experience of the world. And of course, under any circumstance and within any style of music, his voice was always characterised by absolute perfection. To put it simply, he was an amazing musician and individual. He managed to squeeze more life into forty-five years that most of us could possibly wish to in one hundred.
