1975 veröffentlichten Queen ihr viertes Studioalbum "A Night At The Opera", das für viele bis heute als ihr größtes Werk gilt. Auf dem Album befindet sich auch der legendäre Hit "Bohemian Rhapsody". Der Albumtitel lässt es schon erahnen, bei "A Night At The Opera" handelt es sich um ein Meisterwerk, das wie eine Oper klingt. In diesem Jahr feiert die Platte 50-jähriges Jubiläum. Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Veröffentlichung war "A Night At The Opera" das teuerste Album, das je aufgenommen wurde. Queen standen damals aufgrund von Management- und Vertragsproblemen kurz vor dem finanziellen Ruin. Obwohl das vorherige Album "Sheer Heart Attack" ein kommerzieller Erfolg war, sah die Band kaum etwas von den Einnahmen. Ihr damaliges Label Trient zahlte ihnen wöchentlich gerade mal 60 Pfund. Zusätzlich gab es Streit mit ihrem damaligen Manager Norman Sheffield. 1974 trennten sich Queen von Trient und von Sheffield, wechselten zu EMI und begannen unter ihrem neuen Manager John Reid die Produktion von "A Night At The Opera". Brian May beschrieb das Album einmal sogar als entscheidend für das Fortbestehen von Queen. Zum bis dahin teuersten Album überhaupt wurde es unter anderem, weil die Aufnahmen in sieben verschiedenen Studios stattfanden. Im Sommer 1975 zogen sich Queen aus London zurück und probten in einer Scheune auf einer Farm im Süden Englands. Zwischendurch arbeiteten sie in den Rockfield Studios in Wales, bevor sie die Produktion in verschiedenen Londoner Studios fortsetzten. "Bohemian Rhapsody" gehört zu den größten Hits von Queen und vermutlich zu den wichtigsten Songs der Rockgeschichte. Die Geschichte dahinter ist genauso außergewöhnlich wie der Song selbst. Freddie Mercury hatte bereits Ende der 1960er-Jahre die ersten Grundideen zu "Bohemian Rhapsody". 2023 kam heraus, dass das Lied ursprünglich "Mongolian Rhapsody" hieß. Diesen Titel hatte Mercury 1974 auf einem Briefpapier notiert. Warum aus "Mongolian" schließlich "Bohemian" wurde, bleibt bis heute ein Rätsel. Klar ist jedoch, dass das Wort "Bohemian" im künstlerischen Kontext einen Freigeist beschreibt, jemanden, der sich nicht an vorgegebene Strukturen hält. Genau das trifft sowohl auf Freddie Mercury als auch auf "Bohemian Rhapsody" zu. Der Song löst sich von traditionellen Konventionen. Meilensteine-Redakteurin Katharina Heinius erklärt, dass er aus drei Elementen besteht: einer Ballade am Anfang, einem Opernteil in der Mitte und einem Rockpart am Ende. Mit einer Länge von fünf Minuten und 55 Sekunden entspricht das Lied zudem kaum einem typischen Hitmuster, weshalb sich das Label zuvor fragte, ob es gut ankommen würde. Queen setzten sich dennoch durch. Das Lied blieb so, wie es gedacht war, und wurde zunächst stückchenweise im Radio gespielt. Die Neugier der Fans wuchs dadurch nur noch mehr und verschaffte "Bohemian Rhapsody" am Ende die Aufmerksamkeit, die es verdient. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "A Night At The Opera" sprechen wir im Podcast (03:11) – "'39" (11:20) – "Death On Two Legs"(21:10) – "I'm In Love With My Car"(28:44) – "You're My Best Friend"(36:00) – "Love Of My Life"(39:04) – "Good Company"(49:06) – "Bohemian Rhapsody" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "A Night At The Opera" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/queen-a-night-at-the-opera __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

1. Hitler's Refusal of a Coalition Role. Timothy Ryback details the pivotal meeting on August 13, 1932, between President Paul von Hindenburg and Adolf Hitler. Following the Nazi party's strong electoral performance (37%), Hitler expected the Chancellorship. Hindenburg, however, only offered him a role "participating in the government." Hitler immediately refused, stating "no," because he was an "all or nothing man" who demanded the key role. Hindenburg, a Prussian aristocrat, despised Hitler, referring to him as "that Bohemian corporal" due to his origins and divisive politics. Hitler later justified his rejection by saying he would "rather besiege a fortress than be a prisoner in one." 1933

Was it really a simpler time, way back when? As teenagers, Rich and I pined for those older women who seemed to embody the tidal pulse of desire. For me, it was the Delta song-spinner Bobbie Gentry, whose Ode to Billie Joe, a mystery delivered in honeyed, but troubling tones, captured the world's - and, my imagination; for Rich, it was the slinky seductress Joey Heatherton, who complicated his yearnings by aligning herself with Bob Hope on those USO tours during the Viet Nam war. The way podcast Stack of 45s would work was that Rich or I would nominate a song to be explored and celebrated, then the other would have a chance to bring forward their choice. In this case, my record, Ode to Billie Joe appeared first, and this inspired Rich to find and re-examine Gone by Joey. Enjoyed back to back these episodes bring back some good memories for me. And, hopefully, if you've been with us awhile, you'll enjoy hearing these again, too. And if you're new to the party, you've got a treat ahead of you.

The colorful and monumental 14th-century frescoes of Bohemian church interiors have received very little scholarly attention, and many remain completely unknown today. Yet the wall paintings have played major roles in the creation of national(ist) art historical narratives, and they offer a rare chance to examine how medieval frescoes operated within their original architectural contexts. In this episode, Reed O'Mara speaks with art historian Isabelle Chisholm on these frescoes' long lives, discussing their medieval viewership and the reasons for their relative obscurity.For more information, visit www.multiculturalmiddleages.com.

Learn how Seipp became Chicago's beer baron and why his name is back on shelves now. Plus: corner bar culture at Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern.Conrad Seipp Brewing Co. owner Laurin Mack joins the podcast at Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern to trace how she resurrected the family brewery, which was founded in 1854, survived the Great Chicago Fire, and once ranked among America's largest. She tells the wild story of her great-great-great-grandfather Conrad Seipp, an immigrant carpenter turned beer baron, and how his brewery rose to become one of the top-producing operations in the U.S. Along the way, she explains how 19th-century brewery fires and the Great Chicago Fire reset competition, how the World's Columbian Exposition shaped beer branding, and how Prohibition shuttered Seipp despite pivots like cereal beverages and ginger ale. She also discusses the Black Point Estate & Gardens in Lake Geneva—the preserved Seipp summer home you still reach by boat—and how it influenced her decision to revive the Conrad Seipp Brewing brand as a living link between Chicago's past and its present beer scene. After the beer break, Laurin discusses Seipp's Columbia World's Fair Bock (a crisp 6% dark lager) and unpacks brewer Doug Hurst's role in translating tradition into modern lagers. She explains what their detective work revealed about why the first American Pilsners didn't work and how small adjuncts like flaked corn helped pre-Prohibition Pilsners achieve the snap people craved. Plus: 19th-century “strength” vs. today's ABV, Seipp's early refrigerated boxcar distribution, and how the revived brand landed with drinkers. To wrap up, Archie's Iowa Rockwell Tavern owner Katrina Arthur joins the conversation to share Archie's origin story, why a giant Hamm's sign still glows over the intersection of Iowa and Rockwell, the free cheese balls, wooden drink tokens, and what it's like to grow up in a tavern — all before the Final Toast (featuring… the Tamale Guy?!).About Conrad Seipp Brewing Company: Seipp's beer is Chicago's beer. Founded in 1854, the Conrad Seipp Brewing Company tells the story of the city's history.

You know the building: Two stories, an apartment unit on each floor, usually with bay windows and a facade of brick or greystone. But how did the two-flat become so popular, and who was it originally built to serve? In our last episode, we looked at the types of places Chicago's single women lived in at the turn of the 20th century. In today's episode, we explore the Bohemian origins of the humble Chicago two-flat. As it turns out, the advent of the two-flat mirrors the development of the city's middle class. “Our design No. 144 is a two-family flat designed for a money making proposition,” begins a 1915 ad enticing homebuyers to build a two-flat. “Anyone wanting a comfortable home and at the same time a good income on the investment will do well to consider this proposition.” Plus, we answer another housing-related listener question: why are Chicago fire escapes distinctively wooden (read: flammable) and are they actually effective during fires?

In this episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, I'm joined by Porsha Chalmers - the artist, healer, and visionary behind The Silver Bohemian. Porsha's story begins in a small rural town in Georgia, where she grew up as the oldest of four, daughter to farmers, and learned to create anything with her hands from a young age. After high school, she enlisted in the Marine Corps and served six years, a season that strengthened her courage and shaped the resilience she carries into every part of her life. It was there she met her husband, began building a family, and set the foundation for her journey of service and creativity. Her life has been a tapestry of joy, loss, and renewal, raising her son Matthew (her proudest accomplishment), caregiving for Brian through his battle with ALS, and finding love again with her husband Jim. These experiences now fuel her work as an artist and healer, where she blends sound therapy, restorative yoga, and creative expression to guide others toward wholeness. Today, Porsha is stepping fully into her calling as a guide and leader: Curator for The Turquoise Iris Journal International best-selling co-author Marine Corps Veteran Creator of soulful workshops, retreats, and art experiences In this conversation, Porsha opens up about: The resilience she carried from farm life and military service into her creative journey The healing practices and symbols — dragonflies, ginkgo leaves, and feathers — that anchor her work Why memory, presence, and everyday beauty are central to her art and her life Her upcoming retreat, Soul Map: The Art of Release (October 23–26, 2025 at The Little Golden Fox in Madison, IN) Her upcoming book, Tattered and Mended: Soulful Stories of Life, Love, and Legacy (launching November 11, 2025) Fun facts about Porsha: she's happiest barefoot by a riverbank, creating in her studio, or grounding outdoors. She once worked as a published photographer covering stock cars and NHRA drag racing (and even got three tickets in one weekend for drag racing a Volkswagen!). She loves transforming unexpected objects like old quilts, spoons, and leather belts into wearable art and memory pieces. And always...music is the soundtrack of her life. Through her art, her healing practices, and her leadership, Porsha helps others honor memory, presence, and transformation. Her story is proof that beauty and meaning can be created even from life's hardest seasons. Connect with Porsha Chalmers:

#modernart #amritha #painting Amrita Sher-Gil, born in 1913 to a Sikh father and a Hungarian mother, was a pioneering artist who shaped the course of modern Indian art. Trained at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, she blended Western techniques with Indian themes to create a bold and original visual language. After returning to India in 1934, she traveled extensively, drawing inspiration from Indian village life, ancient murals, and the lives of women, which became central to her work. Her South Indian Trilogy stands out as a powerful reflection of India's soul through a modernist lens.

Augustine Herrman’s Map

I got the idea for this episode talking to a bartender in Prague. The place was empty, and the fellow was garrulous and quickly said he loved American history, which naturally prompted me to suggest a podcast where he could find some. The barkeep called my bluff – “did I know who Augustine Herrman was?” Uh, noooo. It turns out he was a Bohemian – now we would say Czech – from Prague who became one of the wealthiest and most influential men in mid-17th century English and Dutch America, particularly in New Netherland and Maryland. He would live and trade in the early colonies for more than 40 years before his death in Maryland in 1686, and such diverse characters as Pieter Stuyvesant and Lord Baltimore would rely on him for their most sensitive diplomatic matters. Most famously, Herrman would draw the most detailed map of the Chesapeake Bay, at a time when maps were evidence in the settling of disputes between empires. Hermann's map would, among other things, determine the border between Virginia and Maryland on the Eastern Shore, and – through twists and turns – play a role in the establishment of the colony of Delaware. The Czechs are understandably proud of Augustine Herrman, so in gratitude to that bartender and his surprising knowledge of 17th century America, this episode is about Herrman, through the story of his map.

Defenestration (from Neo-Latin de fenestrā[1]) is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.[2] The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War. This was done in "good Bohemian style", referring to the defenestration which had occurred in Prague's New Town Hall almost 200 years earlier (July 1419), and on that occasion led to the Hussite war.[3] The word comes from the Neo-Latin[4] de- (down from) and fenestra (window or opening).[5] By extension, the term is also used to describe the forcible or summary removal of an adversary.[6]

Rodgers responded by saying Bradshaw “doesn't know me” and that he'd like to get to know Bradshaw “on a deeper level.” Whitlock also addresses Skip Bayless saying God told him to put his career ahead of having a family, where Joy Taylor has gone since being cut by Fox Sports, and how Kelsey Mitchell and Catilin Clark can coexist in the WNBA, but Clark needs to adjust her style of play.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 395The Saint of the day is Saint Lawrence of BrindisiSaint Lawrence of Brindisi’s Story At first glance, perhaps the most remarkable quality of Lawrence of Brindisi is his outstanding gift of languages. In addition to a thorough knowledge of his native Italian, he had complete reading and speaking ability in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French. Lawrence was born on July 22, 1559, and died exactly 60 years later on his birthday in 1619. His parents William and Elizabeth Russo gave him the name of Julius Caesar, Caesare in Italian. After the early death of his parents, he was educated by his uncle at the College of St. Mark in Venice. When he was just 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Venice and received the name of Lawrence. He completed his studies of philosophy and theology at the University of Padua and was ordained a priest at 23. With his facility for languages Lawrence was able to study the Bible in its original texts. At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian. Lawrence's sensitivity to the needs of people—a character trait perhaps unexpected in such a talented scholar—began to surface. He was elected major superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31. He had the combination of brilliance, human compassion, and administrative skill needed to carry out his duties. In rapid succession he was promoted by his fellow Capuchins and was elected minister general of the Capuchins in 1602. In this position he was responsible for great growth and geographical expansion of the Order. Lawrence was appointed papal emissary and peacemaker, a job which took him to a number of foreign countries. An effort to achieve peace in his native kingdom of Naples took him on a journey to Lisbon to visit the king of Spain. Serious illness in Lisbon took his life in 1619. In 1956, the Capuchins completed a 15-volume edition of Lawrence’s writings. Eleven of these 15 contain his sermons, each of which relies chiefly on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. Reflection His constant devotion to Scripture, coupled with great sensitivity to the needs of people, present a lifestyle which appeals to Christians today. Lawrence had a balance in his life that blended self-discipline with a keen appreciation for the needs of those whom he was called to serve.
