Did you know that the first man-made dye was meant to cure #malaria?

William Perkin's teacher theorised that quinine, a treatment for malaria, could be synthesized.

Inspire, the 15-year-old set out to do so. His home #experiment produced an odd #purple sludge.

He tried to dye some #silk with it & found it beautiful & lasting!

He got a #patent, raised capital & soon, #Queen #Victoria was wearing his invention. He got #rich with #cheap mauve.

BONUS MYSTERY! https://researchoutreach.org/articles/mystery-victorian-purple-dye/

#history

This is a photo of a small piece of silk fabric dyed with mauveine supplied to Queen Victoria for a dress about 1860. It shows a wooden mid-brown frame which holds a coarse homespun fabric, on which a square piece of bright mauve silk is secured. Underneath the square swatch is a coiled silk rope, also in a vivid mauve colour.

"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."

Well, this is the best thing I've seen in awhile!

"Bohemian Rhapsody", but not quite Queen's version.

It's by the Prague Cello Quartet! Is it rock? Is it classical? Yes! Check out the production quality, too.

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.

Today's Queen hurdle might be too obscure if you only know Greatest Hits but it's a beautiful song.

I have a search filter that finds me new research related to science and music, and this is one of the most unique things I came across. Researchers in Switzerland used music to release insulin from genetically engineerded cells (as a test for a possible diabetes treatment) and found that Queen's "We Will Rock You" worked really well for that purpose. https://www.forbes.com/sites/evaamsen/2023/09/20/queen-song-releases-insulin-in-very-early-test-of-diabetes-control-method/?sh=6eff2c1d5193

Did you know that an did what many doctors suggest?

Æþelðryþe, daughter of Anna, was married twice & twice bargained with her husbands to remain chaste.

She managed to become a & 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.

She died a saint.

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.

Zheng Yi Sao - Queen of the Pirates, and the most successful buccaneer in history, commander of 400 ships with over 40,000 swashbucklers - 1775-1844 (en.wikipedia.org)

I discovered this amazing gem today:

Queen - Play The Game

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!
