Same here! Just because we are mostly folkies doesn't mean we don't like other music too. Queen is one of my favourite bands - always has been.

There are certain songs that, if they play them on the radio while I'm in my car, I turn the volume way up and "rock on" with them. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of those songs. As it happens, they played it yesterday. I don't care if the other drivers think I'm mad. Another one of those songs is "Power and the Passion" by Midnight Oil. But times change - Peter Garrett is a politician now. Oh well.

Last Christmas, John got me (at my request) a DVD of Pink Floyd "The Dark Side of the Moon". Now I know what he can get me this Christmas! Much as I love Queen, the only thing I have of theirs is a record (yes, one of those big round things) of "A Night at the Opera". Time that was rectified.

All this from a died-in-the-wool folkie who runs a folk club!
