Here’s what we’ll bet you don’t know about Freddie Mercury: he was born in Tanzania, his real name was Farrokh Bulsara, and today would have been his 61st birthday.
The library doesn’t have any authentic Queen CDs, but we do have We will rock you, the “rock theatrical” with music by Ben Elton and Queen. You can check it out and hear that version of “Bohemian rhapsody,” or listen to all six glorious minutes of the real thing (with no visuals) on youtube. If all you know about Queen is “We are the champions” and “We will rock you,” you’ll be surprised and delighted at the musical intelligence and tight vocals.
