Though I saw them in concert twice back in their hey day. But I was listening to Another One Bites The Dust on the radio the other day and realized Freddie was really an incredible vocalist.

I was a fan, on the outside. The time was me going to nursing school and working nights and too busy to do much else but over the years I really have appreciated that band and what they did, it was so wonderful.

My musician brother died of AIDS about 17 years ago so I always get teared up with these stories. Freddy was a monster singer and musician. His ideas were movements and his talent was above most others.

I am appreciating from another decade and feel so sad I was not more interested, or able to be, when he was living.

To face your own mortality in such a graceful and productive way.

Can’t be scared of everything, got to get your Freddie on sometimes.

I also lost my brother in law, plus 5 friends to AIDS.
