You're not odd. Most of the slower Queen songs make me want to sob. D;
I'm only twelve, and the first ever time I saw These are the Days of our Lives, I cried probably slightly more than I had in a year or two. Actually, the first time I saw These are the Days was on a little Freddie / Queen show / Documentary thing. They were running a few clips and the end, and then they put on the bit from I'm Going Slightly Mad where he has the banannas on his head and kinda lifts them up... I didn't know if I should be clutching my sides, trying to stop giggling or be burying myself in a box of Kleenex. That's the problem with me, I see things like these and it just makes me remember him... well, dying. And I get all emotional, even though I hardly know him, and... yeah. ;;
Queen Mania pained me, I had to leave the room. >.>; I didn't see it as much to do with Queen, I saw it as a chance for old and dead singers to revive their longgone career. Pathetic, utterly pathetic. I'm sticking to the documentarys on the Biography Channel from now on.
I remember when I bought the Platinum Collection and listened to Save Me. I cried then, too. I think I had tears in my eyes at the beginning of Live at Wembley and... well, by the end of both MK Bowl and Wembley, I was almost rolling on the carpet laughing my head off. They are so brilliant to watch on stage, I only wish I was able to see them live. o-o; Yes. Queen do make people act in odd ways...
... I agree, he'll never be forgotten and neither will Queen. I damn hope so, anyway. When I'm old and have arthritis in every avalible apendage, I want some good ol' Rock 'N' Roll to listen too. Alas, it seems the younger generations are turning to Heavy Metal and Rap...
o-o; I'll stop sounding like I'm 50-odd, mmh?
