Where is bagpuss?

I thought you'd identify with the cross-dressing!

No. You are right Xen. I just remember thinking, seeing that, 'he's trying to tell us something...'

So, Brian May is gay too then according to your logic. What does that make Roger Taylor and his dressing as a schoolgirl?

FFS, grow up.

[Xenophon]

Oh dear.

I hope you're not in 'counsellor mode'...

Thank goodness, you've changed the record.

Back to mindless, nasty insults.

Phew!

Firstly, it wasn't mindless. You've made a statement that just because Freddie Mercury was dressed as a house-wife in the video for "I want to break free" that he was a tortured homosexual who wanted to "come out".

I don't agree. I think the whole "I want to break free" thing was something akin to the Rolling Stones' "Mother's little helper".

If you think telling you to "grow up" is a nasty insult then stick around, I can get nastier.

Failing that, go whinging to the mods - again...

No. You are nasty and mindless and that is that.

Ex-marine my arse!

No. You are nasty and mindless and that is that.

Are you on drugs or is your mental condition coming to the fore?

Ex-marine my arse!

No thanks. I prefer real women.

I want to break free....was written exclusively by John Deacon!

HTH.

It does.

Thanks.

Spot on slave.

Queen bass player John Deacon wrote this from the male perspective of the women's liberation movement.

This song became an anthem for the ANC in South Africa in the late-'80s when Nelson Mandela was still in jail and the white government's apartheid policies were still in place. [snip]

The video for this song parodies a popular British television soap, Coronation Street. The opening sequence features all the band members in drag (Mercury as a housewife, Deacon as grandmother, Taylor as a schoolgirl, and May as a housewife).

This confused many people who didn't catch the reference.
