Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody 5th Anniversary- Brian May, Roger Taylor

In his poignant acceptance speech for the Oscar for Best Actor five years ago, Rami Malek pointed out that he himself was a first-generation immigrant who portrayed a gay immigrant in the role of Queen’s Freddie Mercury. But I think that “Bohemian Rhapsody”‘s  greatest accomplishment of all is it once again focused the world on Freddie Mercury’s remarkable life, rather than the circumstances of his death.

YES- 90125 @40- Jon Anderson,Trevor Rabin,Tony Kaye, the late Chris Squire & Alan White

It’s the 40th anniversary of a remarkable album story.
