We will rock you!

Last Saturday I was in London to see the Queen musical "We will rock you". I had seen it before, but second time around was even better. There is a fabulous photo exhibition of Freddie Mercury, which includes a wonderful quote by him: "I am possessed by love". I suspect this is why I so admired him - someone with a passion for life and for love, which caused him to sparkle with energy.

The musical features a long list of famous musicians who died young - a sobering and moving moment.

It also hints, not so subtly (I do enjoy Ben Elton's lyrics!), at the damage caused by not encouraging individuals to shine in their own way... music of the future is portrayed as all manufactured, with no creativity allowed - with dreadful consequences.
