and sometimes, when the cats ask enough times, young freddie puts on one of his early costumes with huge sleeves or an awesome sash, and he twirls and lets them all bat their paws at the satin
and then he sings them a lullaby
with his sweetest voice

i love watching video of their live performances for exactly that reason -- they're having fun and totally trusting each other to do some really unbelievable musical moves
it was like they were all attached to one huge metronome

there's a great video clip of Roger confessing on tour that he'd been up way too late the night before with Freddie, playing Scrabble and drinking Earl Grey tea
i love to imagine that scene

if we cared about kids, and paid teachers/childcare professionals commensurate with their worth to society, and actually wanted women in the workplace, we'd have high-quality universal daycare.
Instead we have insanely high costs because privatization. And because women and children don't matter.

he didn't love the star power -- he was actually very private and the other band members tried to keep him from too much press. Freddie didn't even like talking about what his lyrics meant, let alone his personal life.
If you watch documentary footage you can hear his gentleness and humor.

I admired Freddie for his professionalism and his love and respect for his band mates. They were a hard-working group of music nerds who weren't afraid to try for perfection. Brian May and Roger still choke up when they speak of him, and Roger Deacon never got over the loss. Queen was about love.
