    Peak Freddie Mercury

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    While I don't wish him dead, the fact that he is doesn't upset me in any way.

    I don't really get why people get so exercised about Queen. Surely they come under the banner of 'a bit of harmless, silly fun'? And yet it seems to be a badge of music hipster pride to execrate them. Odd.

    I am unsure how disliking them can equate to a badge of anything any more than hating any band can be seen as such.

    For some reason they have always made me angry and nauseous in equal measure. I've never really understood it; I don't feel that way about any other band, I don't think.

    It may be related to a childhood filled with Bohemian Rhapsody constantly coming out of every radio.

    Ah. So you can actually acknowledge they all wrote some decent songs then, which is the important bit, after all?
