i nearly blew up my middle-school stereo blasting queen’s double-disc greatest hits album. everything about freddie mercury is perfection, from his perfect voice to his perfectly ahead of everyone style.

“somebody to love” was my favorite song in 2000 and nearly 15 years later, nothing has changed.

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I’m ok, I’m alright
Ain’t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I’m gonna be free, Lord!
