Happy to see that you like my art haha (however please donāt die), Iāve been meaning to draw the Queen boys so donāt worry! In the meanwhile has this (thanks for giving me my first insta post too haha)
And Iām not trying to be rude about it, but here are some simple points.
Iāve been a fan for more than 40 years. And not just a passing fan, weāre talking collecting anything and everything related to them. My walls in my bedroom (when I was younger living at home) were literally covered with Queen. I took in everything about them that I could. This was LONG before the internet.
Now Iām not saying any of this to āone upā anyone. But unless youāve been in the fandom as long as I have, and youāre going to visit my blog just to tell me how what Iāve said is wrong, and that you know better (especially the early years), back that shit up with proof. This is/was (itās out of print) the only authorized biography. Brian wrote the introduction, they all read it, and Freddie got to read most of it before he died. Itās written by Jacky Gunn, who has run the official (meaning Queen approved and supported) fan club for as long as it has existed. She knows the band personally. Itās co-writer, Jim Jenkins, is a personal friend of the band, biographer and expert about the band.
Yep, there is a lot out there thatās crap. Donāt believe everything you see or read online. Some is truth, some is garbage. I have several books written by several people and most are junk.
If you want the full authorized (by the band including Freddie) story of Queen, get your hands on this book. Itās out of print and hard to find, Iāve had mine since it first came out. Be prepared to hunt for it. I have seen copies in pretty crappy condition for around $40 on clearance. And Iāve seen them in excellent condition for well over $600.
All that being said Iām ditching this one chick who comes to my blog only to tell me Iām wrong (I know Iām not always right, and if I have any doubt, Iād say so). She is rude and argumentative, which I feel is just not acceptable. Iām not having that kind of hateful shit on my blog.
