No time for a long journal today, sorry. Just a thought:
If you were born on the day that Freddie Mercury died, then today you'd be holding your 21st birthday party.
Well, it's a theme...

Don't worry 2legs, you are 21, you just probably got one of those 'the year you were born' videos and remember it very well as a result.

yes! yes! that must be it! 
Although... and I know I'm bad at maths... But I recall my brother being born... and I could have sworn he's both quite a bit younger than me, and in his mid twentys... naa... I must have imagined that too... probably

Like Victor Meldrew - I cannot belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve it is really 21 years since that fatal day. I was xx years old and Mercury was brilliant - oh that voice!

I remember it very clearly... and sadly... 
Still enjoy the music, even after the however many years of exposure I've had to it I continue to find new things hidden within the songs...

Sasha Baron Cohen is going to play him in a biopic, they have been saying. When's that coming out?

No idea, but I've been waiting years for Steve Coogan to play Eddie the Eagle.

"Still enjoy the music, even after the however many years of exposure I've had to it I continue to find new things hidden within the songs... "
I'm the same - I was around in 1991, and did hear about the sad day, but I didn't become a Queen fan until 1995 so it slightly passed me by at the time. Still gets to me when I read about it in biographies, etc, though but the music and the magic lives on

I was listening since the 80's.... and recall the Wembley 86 (or was it 87?) concert... sadly I was a bit too young to have gone 
One of the first groups I got into, and still listen to now
