On Twitter: The folks I chat with regularly are quite lovely. Educated and erudite, if excessively enthusiastic about Neil Young. We have pleasant little conversations, and participate in communal jokes; I know the weird bullshit they like, so I send stuff I find on the innertubes over to ’em, and they know about my obsessions, so vice versa. And all the folks I follow but don’t talk to? Entertaining bunch. Some are politically insightful, and others are actresses I have crushes on, and one pretends to be Richard Nixon. Salt of the e-earth, those fuckers.
But everyone else? Everyone else on Twitter should be buried up to their shoulders below the tide line. Let the sea come in, let it drown our sorrows.
Which is to say that illustrious member of the Comment Section JES got the trivia question about Queen right via Twitter.
From the eponymous first record, and live in Houston ’77, it’s Keep Yourself Alive. (FUN FACT: Freddie has the exact same haircut as Madge the Manicurist from the Palmolive commercials.)
Two truths that are eternal-
all 70s studio albums are overproduced and sound terrible
all 70s live clips of the same music are awesome.
This clip proves both. Thank you.
Awwww, thanks . . .
I would like to be glorious and spout wisdom in ALL CAPS about such important matters as this, but truth of the situation is I was just gonna brute force sample my way through my whole Queen collection until I found the song in question, and then it just so happened that the winning title was the first song of the first record, so it was a quick project . . .
