Celebrating Freddie

We celebrated JILL'S dad's birthday last night. My father-in-law MARK is 65.
That's the age FREDDIE MERCURY would have been today.
I celebrated by listening to a pair of QUEEN albums today -- "SHEER HEART ATTACK" and "LIVE KILLERS."
Listening, I realized that I couldn't think of another band that had merged flamboyance, hard rock, opera and pop quite like Queen.
There really hasn't been any other band quite like them, although many have tried.
I was also pleased to see the GOOGLE DOODLE paying tribute to Mercury today.
