It's hard to believe he'd be 65 now. I just can't wrap my brain around that.

I grew up listening to Queen. It was tradition that we would BLAST it while cleaning house. I mean BLAST IT! And then I would dance around the living room in some old white sheer nightgown robe thing with balloon sleeves (my Mom's old lingere or something guess - ha ha. It was like a fairy princess dress.)

I remember the house vibrating with We Will Rock You.

I LOVE the google doodle. That might be their best one yet.

This is awesome... (And for some reason I had a flash of Kevy Baby doing the same thing. :D )

Now I have a mental image of Kevy in a pink sweater and leather skirt. Thanks a lot!

I haven't listed to Fat Bottom Girls in years. I need to put that on a new CD for the car.

Not to be a pill, but the Google banners that are simply links to films (Chaplin was the other one) are, imo, lazy.

I think the most elaborate and successful one to date was the Jules Verne, which was an interactive version of the banner. But a link to a film? So what? No creativity in that, though the films themselves may be cute. (And, as I see it, it just so happens that the Chaplin film was a thousand times better than the Mercury film.)

You're entitled to your "as you see it," but the Chaplin film didn't make me cry.

But did that have anything to do with you being alive during Freddy Mercury's career and not yet alive during Chaplin's?

Regardless. The Google banner could link to a print of Star Wars, and I would still yawn. Ooooh, it's a link. WOW Google, Amazing!!!

September 24, 2011 - Today's interactive for the birthday of Jim Henson is one of the banners I'ma talkin' 'bout ... and applaud.

There's no sound, right? I was a bit disappointed at that but it's nice anyway.
