"Ooh, ooh, ooh. People talk about you
People say you've had your day"

"I'm a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time-yeah
I know that people talk about me, I hear it every day
But I can prove you wrong 'cos I'm
right first time"

You won't read serious articles here.
There are many other websites filled with reviews, essays, etc.

I'm going to write down some old stuff collected over the years.
Some articles are interesting, truly worth reading, but, at times
you'll find it amazing to see how wrong Critics may be...

For A Song
(by Fred Hauptfuhrer)

The Mercury that's rising in Rock is Freddie,
the satiny seductor of 'Queen'.
When critics accuse him of being "an overemotional actress"
onstage, Queen's Freddie Mercury blurts, "It's all true."
So is the Kensington maisonette
his Bowiesque buffoonery has bought him.
