Fridays with Freddie

It's Friday, that's universally known to be amazing. In addition to that, I'm about to introduce you to one of my all time favorite bands to make your Friday even better. It's time for some Queen. I was introduced to Queen as a kid and really loved them from the start. In 6th grade the two Queen greatest hits tapes were two of my first purchases as a young music lover.

This post will mark the first post in the Fridays with Freddie series, as in Freddie Mercury the lead singer of Queen. I can't think of a better band to sing along to in the car or shower, I love failing miserably at hitting those high notes.

This Friday's song comes from the album News Of The World, which you might remember from this episode of Family Guy. I kid you not, I actually had the same reaction to this album cover as a kid; true story. A few weeks ago Valerie and I put this album on the record player (my Dad's original copy that used to scare me) and gave it a listen for the first time. Since then I've listened to it online at work about fifty times. As someone who grew up with Queen, I'm happy and surprised to find so many gems on this album that I'd never heard before, most notably: It's Late. Enjoy!
