"On a fair day in 1838, barely two years into Queen Victoria’s reign [...] a young, confident and handsome Mississauga Ojibway chief named Kahkewaquonaby [...] came knocking at the doors of Windsor Castle dressed in his finest leather from head to toe and asked to make an appeal to his Sovereign. The door was opened and tea and sympathy were offered. [...] The Queen promised to look into the request and in due course the deeds were handed over."
It’s John Deacon’s birthday. What a guy. He made the amp that became a signature part of Brian May’s studio sound. And came up with the starting ideas for several of Queen’s mega hits. Including Another One Bites The Dust and I Want To Break Free. And about a dozen others. Including Back Chat, which I love.
Æþelðryþe, daughter of #King Anna, was married twice & twice bargained with her husbands to remain chaste.
She managed to become a #nun & the picture of healthy living. She ate only one meal a day & bathed only cold. She did make exceptions for both on holidays.
When she got a swelling on her neck, she laughed that it was punishment for wearing too many necklaces in her youth.
Queen performing Another One Bites The Dust live at the Montreal Forum in 1981.
The late 1970s and early 1980s tours were the best Queen live period. Their craft was perfected. The lighting rigs were superb, and the stages weren’t so big that they disappeared. Unlike the 1986 tour, where the stage was too big in most venues.

From a YouTube comment:
"You know when you thought you found your favorite queen song of all time only to find another great song from them and only to find another great song from them and only to find another great song from them......"
Prisca Thévenot obligée de s'auto-démentir à l'instant: Il n'y a eu "aucun attentat" déjoué durant le week-end de Pâques, contrairement à ce qu'elle affirmait crânement après le Conseil des ministre ce mercredi, selon Franceinfo. La porte-parole du gouvernement annonçait aussi une initiative "contre les fake news": ce niveau de crash, c'est artistique... Même Groland ne fait pas mieux!
