This from the folks at MUSICIAN'S FRIENDand their weekly TW3 review of what happened in the music world. (See, I can be as assinine as any MSM reporter!)
This week in ...
"2004, an anthology of Queen’s greatest hits is the first officially-condoned rock recording to be released in Iran…deceased frontman Freddie Mercury was of Iranian descent…the cassette release sells for less than one U.S. dollar and includes a brochure explaining that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is about a young man who accidentally kills someone, sells his soul to the devil, then on the eve of his execution calls God "Bismillah" in Arabic, thus redeeming his soul from the devil…yeah, that’s pretty much what we always thought that song was about, too…"
DOH!
Ah, What the hell. Nuke 'em twice
