Forgive Me Freddie. I Make Fun of What I Love (Part I)

To the world he is Freddie Mercury, rock god.

To those obsessed enough to read about him (this is me, obviously), he is the coolest Asian since Bruce Lee. This is an amazing thing because as far as anyone knows, he has never beaten up anyone with fists of fury. He has been photographed messing with wigs, crowns, outdoor cushions, and the vacuum cleaner, however.

This is Freddie as a little boy.

After his family moved to England, he went to art school. Later on, he put this artistic talent to use designing the Queen Logo, where he played with the signs of the Zodiac. There’s the lions for the Leos of the band, the crab for Brian May, and the fairies for himself, the group’s Virgo.

This is the only known time Freddie referred to himself as a virgin and the first of many times he will be compared to a fairy.
