Italian artist John Mayho has been on BSA a couple of times over the years with his commentary about the MOB and a tribute to John Lennon. This weekend he was thinking about another western pop idol when he did his own tribute to Freddie Mercury – exactly 22 years after he passed. The powerfully over-the-top lead singer of the British rock band Queen had many electrified performances and fans during his career and he still inspires younger fans quite possibly because he gave them the sense that anything is possible.
And of course, it’s true.
