Queen 50th Anniversary pt 2- Brian May, Roger Taylor

By the time the credits roll concluding the four-time Oscar winning Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", a casual music fan might assume that the royal rockers' career must have peaked with that July 1985 Live Aid London benefit concert performance which climaxes the film.

Brian May & Roger Taylor return In the Studio for part 2 of the band's Golden Jubilee.

My guests Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker were too smart to get trapped into a simple binary answer here In the Studio.
