If It's Planned, It's Boring

I Think Queen Songs Are Pure Escapism, Like Going To See A Good Film.

Years Ago, I Thought Up The Name Queen...it's Just A Name, But It's Very Regal Obviously, And It Sounds Splendid...it's A Strong Name, Very Universal And Immediate. It Had A Lot Of Visual Potential And Was Open To All Sorts Of Interpretations. I Was Certainly Aware Of The Gay Connotations, But That Was Just One Facet Of It.

I Haven't Felt The Excitement Of Listening To As Well As Creating Music Along With Reading And Writing For Too Many Years Now. I Feel Guilty Beyond Words About These Things. For Example, When We're Backstage And The Lights Go Out And The Manic Roar Of The Crowds Begins, It Doesn't Affect Me The Way In Which It Did For Freddy [sic] Mercury Who Seemed To Love, Relish In The Love And Adoration From The Crowd, Which Is Something I Totally Admire And Envy.

Gay As A Daffodil.

By The Way, I Do Not Wear A Hose. My Hose Is My Own. No Coke Bottle, Nothing Stuffed Down There.
