anyway the wind blows...

[fictional]

the chimes played Bohemian Rhapsody a few days ago.
i thought i was hearing things at first, but no, they really did.
i was late to one of my classes because i was just standing there singing along.
i remember when i discovered freddie mercury, in 6th grade...by the good offices of the lovely ladies
sykii and prosicated


remembering the lyrics of the song, i realised how much the song seems to be about getting AIDS. ::sigh::
i wonder if i still would have liked Queen if i had known that freddie was a)indian like me and b) a total bigot.

question: does anyone know if the wind is named after the direction it blows from, or the direction it blows to? like does the west wind originate in the east or the west?

Yhe wind is named after where it comes from, and didn't Freddie die of AIDS complications?

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Yes, he did. I just never knew if the song was specifically about that or not....
but listen to the lyrics, I think there's at least a possiblity.

then of course, I'm an English Lit major, so I see meaning in everything!

ah, headbanging in 6th grade... when i had hair to headbang WITH, of course... we were so ahead of the boys (gods, did we really not know them yet?) even then.
wasn't freddie parsi?

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Yep...parsi, but from India. I think from around the Bombay region.
excuse me, Mumbai...not Bombay. I do think this trend of renaming things is so ridiculous.
Ceylon was a much prettier name than Sri Lanka, i thought...

and as for the boys, i agree...weird.

I remember having long conversations in your room, laying on your bed, about how we thought "Bohemian Rapsody" was about AIDS...And now, typing this, I'm looking at the title and it makes sense too...I think we're on to something here ;-)

Miss you.

Sounds like a GREAT dream to me-
Sometime, well, A LOT of times I wish I could go back to when steven was my main man-
AS I always said, celebrity crushes never let you down-

BTW it wasn't classic queen, it was "Queen: Live at Wembly"
