Freddie, BBC2

[tamborine]

fabulous but sad.

[tamborine]

asian covers lots :)

[MarkRae]

It does indeed, Tambo, but not usually "born just off the cost of Africa"...

[tamborine]

so what is his ethnicity ?

[ChuckFickens]

Still, it was obviously an informative documentary.

(I do agree that he was a great showman the like of which rarely comes along though, regardless of which continent he was born in)

[MarkRae]

Ah, the important bit! Who cares that he was one of the most talented performers this planet has ever seen. Sod that! What race was he...?

[DaisyNonna]

How can an island be "in" a continent?
Just adore Queen's music.

[tamborine]

wiki says Britains first asian rock star

[ladybirder]

And did anybody expect Queen to still be performing 20 years after Freddie died?

[MarkRae]

Seriously, Daisy? In which continent is Malta? Or Sicily? How about all the Greek ones?

[tamborine]

where would he get such a diverse musical taste & composition.

[ChuckFickens]

Canvey is largely incontinent.

[DaisyNonna]

Seriously Mark. Part of, not in.

[boxtops]

Where does anyone, tambo? - you have it, or you don't - and he certainly lived a full life and travelled the world/

[DaisyNonna]

Not a marathon.

[MarkRae]

He was born with it, Tambo, like Beethoven, Miles Davis and John Lennon.

[ladybirder]

Shall I just go to bed? It'll save you all ignoring me.
