i_love_freddie“I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.”
― Freddie Mercury
So I have recently exchanged a message or two withfred_fierce – who is a man with many secrets. Not secrets I shall be revealing here, however. Sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping for a few juicy details.
There were two things that struck me the most about him. The first was that he happens to share a name with my long time idol, Freddie Mercury (yes, I bet that came as a complete surprise!), and the second was that I can kind of see some of Freddie's attitude in him. An example, in his own words: Oh honey. You can't even handle my bio right now. Take it easy. I can easily close my eyes and hear Freddie say that with his adorable dreamy voice... sorry, just having a bit of a moment there.
Love him or hate him, I think almost everyone has at least heard of Freddie Mercury. Born on 5th September 1946, he was the front man of the British rock band Queen. Musician, singer and song writer, he was known for his powerful stage presence, and strong vocals over a four-octave range.
Some of the following words describe him perfectly:
Powerful
Incredible
A legend
Sensational
A genius
Eccentric
Flamboyant
“Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.”
― Freddie Mercury
Unfortunately he died young, and I never got a chance to see him perform live. I would have loved to meet him, because while he was far from perfect, the glimpses from interviews and the statements from people who know him make me think that he would have been an awesome person to know. I was surprised to read that he was actually very shy, much like many of us. And in a way, I see that as inspiration: if he can get up there and perform in front of the millions of people that came to watch their concerts, I can write this intro!
One of my favourite quotes from him is the following. It seems we share a similar sense of humour:
“Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!”
― Freddie Mercury
In a way, no matter how famous we are or what we achieve, deep down we aren't all that different. That's true of myself,fred_fierce, Freddie Mercury, and everyone reading this. We are not that different, we all have our dreams and the ability to try and make them come true.
In the words of my hero: The show must go on!
― Freddie Mercury
