Freddie Mercury birth town celebration put to a stop

Who cares about his life off stage, he rocked hard on stage and that's what I remember most about him.

Now if he were Boy George....j/k 8)

Freddie forever!

For a minute, I thought we were back in the middle ages. How dumb and
ridiculous!

but if it is a muslim country and they follow the rules of the koran obv they would ban it. could you see a gay pride march in any islamic country or a celebreation of some-ones life who went against islam. just the same as the catholic church wouldnt make a gay person a saint however good they were.
ok rant over

But how do the catholic church know that they haven't already elevate a gay to sainthood. They've enough gay's within their ranks so why not at the higher levels.

thats the illogical nature of religion people are venerated for how they appear not what they were actually like

"that would be an ecuminical matter" - Father Jack Hackett!

Fr Jack for Pope I say.

Feck.

just reject religion and praise people for what they achieved

That'd be doing the same thing as praising father "whatever" for working with hungry children in who knows where.

You wanna praise Bill Gates?!

People are devious I tell you, devious.

freddie mercury was an amazing HUMAN BEING. and that is what he should be honoured for. only the ignornat have to bring in sexuality and colour and religion into matters.
freddie rocks!!!!

Have you ever seen the Queen musical? if you haven't go watch it, it shows you how good Freddie really was. The classically trained musical actors can't even sing all the notes that Freddie could in his songs.

I was listening to Dont Stop Me Now, this morning. God he is a legend!

happy 60th freddy 9/5/1946

i loved you man

Dead On Time

Fool always jumping never happy where you land

From the article:

"Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991, violated Islam with his flamboyant lifestyle, said Azan Khalid of Zanzibar's Association for Islamic Mobilization and Propagation."

Please read more than the headlines and the first sentence before ranting and raving about who said what and jumping to the most flamboyant and prejudice affirming conclusion you can come up with.

I'm Going Slightly Mad

Words and music by Queen (Freddie)


When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - oooh oh
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Oh dear
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - uh huh
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Oh dear
Oooh oooh ah ah
Oooh oooh ah ah
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it
