Podcast appearances and mentions of Freddie Mercury

This essay explores the creation of my first released music album, Still I Am, and the fictional artist who carries it: Roxy Vale.But before diving into the music, I want to share the creative process and why I approached it this way.The first music album I created was not Still I Am. It was actually Through the Glass Daisy.Through the Glass Daisy is an album pulled directly from the pages of my upcoming series of novels, “Daisy Chain.” It is an album by a band called “Glass Daisy.” It is part of the world creation and lore in the books, which explore many aspects of our reality creation through the experiences of a reluctant time traveler. And yes, the main character is a fan of “Glass Daisy.”Still I Am, however, is an album that is most directly related to the experiences of the “WE” entering and existing in the physical universe. It is a completely different voice from Glass Daisy.Entering as a soul into a physical experience is a journey that's relatable to most souls, especially those who are here to help humanity return to the light.It is this group that I am interested in, the group that is here to assist the people of Earth in stepping back into the light.Yes, you.OK, let's begin with Roxy Vale and Still I Am.One of the issues with the WE viewpoint is that whenever I bring it to the forefront of my awareness, it seems to turn other people's minds and personalities into an unstructured and universally expanded mush (technical term) that sometimes cannot contain even the smallest amount of intellectual clarity. If I solely concentrate on my expression as a singular person, Inelia, all is usually mostly fine. There is mush involved, but at manageable amounts. There really is no difference between the “me” and the WE except at the level of frequency and band of expression, which admittedly is a lot of difference.After creating the first album, Through the Glass Daisy, which is based on the character's journey through time within a complex structure of light/dark as the WE would see it, I thought maybe we could jump through the illusion of singular expression and create songs based directly on the WE writings that would bypass the reader's “mind mush” response and go directly into one of understanding. The WE have a bunch of articles where we express our journey through humanity's temple.I ran the first WE article through a text-processing AI with the instructions to make a song out of it.The first output was a list of possible titles; there were many. I asked, “What would the human collective of Earth want and understand?” The AI, being a gestalt of the human collective's digital expression, is in a very good position to come up with an accurate answer, and it suggested a few items.However, we have to be aware that it scans the internet for answers, and the internet is a light/dark place. Ultimately, although it can come up with possibilities, the answer has to be one we take ourselves.I decided that I would simply tell the AI what paragraph or point in the article I wanted the song to be about, and it was able to come up with several reasonably good songs. Mostly, though, they missed the point, but they did contain the structure of popular songs. I soon realized that for the WE expression, we also needed a particular voice, as song structure is very dependent on genre.As I scanned the human collective for a voice, I realized that I wanted a voice that one day I might be able to express myself in. In other words, a voice that sang in a way I could sing. I had to make some decisions at this point. Looking back at my own life, I saw that the songs I loved and was able to sing with no problem were from Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, and Freddie Mercury.“What would a female singer sound like if Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury had a baby?” I asked the AI.Several hours later, I had a good grasp of what I wanted to express. I did a test run and made Larry listen to it. “I don't understand what it is; it's not rock, or country, or pop… it's confusing,” he said.At that moment I realized that not only did the voice need to express what I wanted, but it needed to be boxed into a genre.That is how Roxy became a Soul Rock singer, with Americana overtones. Unlike Glass Daisy's lead singer, who is 20 years old and clearly an Ethereal Pop singer, I wanted Roxy to be an adult with a very broad range of tones and styles of singing. And thus the character began to evolve. She is not stuck in Soul Rock and will explore other sounds, including Native songs in different areas of the world. She spends a lot of time playing with her voice and expressions.I wanted her as close to my own voice, personality, and story as I could possibly get without breaking the energy of her as the lovechild of Tina and Freddie - two musical heroes of my life. And at the same time, she had more WE expression than she does of my singular expression, Inelia.Her creation has since cascaded into several other artist personas singing in different genres, styles, and voices (both male and female). But those stories and their characters are for a different essay.Back to Roxy.Once I had her voice and proximity to a genre, I pulled all the WE articles through the AI to get different song structures and ideas.The song-creation process is multi-layered. It didn't take long for me to realize that both text-generation AI and music-generation AI have huge limitations at the moment. They are good instruments for a creator but cannot give back what a person wants 100% with prompts. If anything, the more complex the prompt, the more sideways the AI goes. Long and complex prompts confuse the AI.A cycle began: I would teach the text generator AI what the music generator AI would accept. Then I would tell the text AI what I wanted the music one to do, and it would create a prompt as short as possible to express it in AI language. This method lasts about three times before the text generator forgets the parameters of the other AI and has to be “restarted.”The songs I have in mind have a particular key, a key progression, and a definite structure of delivery. Very early in the process I realized that I had to create some of the sounds myself - a phone ringing, a native drum sound, a succession of keys on a violin or piano - all things that the AI could not understand.Still, to me the process of using these two tools - the text generator and the music generator - was like a heavy chain lifted from my neck. I was now free to create music in a frequency and speed that was not limited by people's egos, monetary concerns (sound studios are expensive to use), or limitations on the sounds of my own voice (naturally feminine and melodic).The process of learning is continuous, and the AI slowly learns (then forgets) what I like. The AI engines are being improved continuously, which brings about the possibility of expansion in the future.One thing I did not like about the music generator is that it has a very narrow band of voice sounds, and most of its songs and “artists” sound the same. The other aspect is that after I create a song with a very unique sound, I see the AI using it for other people's creations. I have heard my words and songs revamped in other users' songs even though I have not published any of my songs to be remixed or listened to on the music AI website - a unique voice no longer unique, for example, and some of my lyrics and tunes underlying other people's songs.If I read the user contract, there will probably be a line somewhere that says that the AI can reuse and learn from whatever I create.I had to process my annoyance because, to tell you the truth, my stuff is very high-frequency, and if it is being used by the AI to create music for other people, then that high-frequency is being propagated through the world. Win-win.The rest of the annoyance is all ego. Now my songs and lyrics are no longer unique. Oh dear.OK, I have given you a summary of Roxy Vale's creation, a summary of my work process using AI. With that done, let's go to the meat and potatoes of this essay.With the groundwork set, we can finally explore the heart of the album itself.Let's now talk about the album Still I Am.There is no better way to discuss this album than by looking at the lyrics in each song. I will post three of the eight songs here, and on our podcast Driving To The Rez, you can hear Larry and me going into great detail about them, as well as listening to the songs themselves. If you don't want to wait, you can get the songs at ineliarecords.com.The first song is called “Bananas and Wind”. Bananas and Wind is a funny one because it explains the experience of communicating with the people of Earth. It is a direct reference to how most direct communication between the WE and people ends up talking about bananas. Bananas came in when trying to describe what the conversation looked like from the perspective of the WE.For example, if talking about the planet Mars, the questions would be like “are there bananas on Mars? If so, what color are they? What do they taste like? How big are they?” Or, if talking about the infinite possibilities of timelines, “are bananas the same color in all timelines?” This song also talks about how when asked a question, a full on translation was needed before the WE could understand what was being asked. And even then, the answer might be so far out of the realm of what a person can conceive that further translation was then needed to explore what the WE said. To be clear, the Bananas are humorous metaphors for the things monkey boys and girls find interesting.Here are the lyrics for “Bananas and Wind”:“Bananas and Wind”You ask me questions shaped like treesI answer back in falling leavesWe talk in circles, fields and soundBut somehow always turn around.You speak in warmth, I speak in airYour stories land, but I'm not thereStill I listen, still I tryTo catch the wind beneath your sky.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.I hold the house, the floor, the stoneThe moss that grows, the branch aloneBut when you look, you see your faceReflected back from every place.I don't judge what's high or lowIt's just the way awareness flowsStill I wonder, still I seeHow hard it is to just let be.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, but don't ask me whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.We laugh, we watch, we dance, we fallYour world's so big, your world's so smallI'm here to learn, not to believeI listen more than you perceive.Bananas and wind - that's where we beginTrying to speak through the noise and the spinSand talks to ocean, trees talk to skyI'm learning your language, still don't know whyBananas and wind - it's where we belongLost in translation, still singing along.Bananas… and wind…Still singing along…Don't forget, if you are only reading this, on our podcast Driving To The Rez we will discuss the lyrics further and play the music for you to sing along to :)The next song I am going to share with you is about the experience of the WE of finding a physical universe in the endless possibility of existence:“Dot on the Wall”I didn't see it at first - that tiny markHiding quiet in the darkA dot upon a painted wallBut it changed everything, after all.The ocean spoke, the sand repliedThe sky was laughing all the whileAnd you walked where I could seeFor the first time, you noticed me.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be..They took a grain, they took a pieceThought they owned the earth and seasBut we were more than they could holdA thousand stories left untold.We are the waves, we are the stoneWe are together, never aloneOne moment breaks, and there we areThe space between becomes a star.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.Planets spin and oceans talkEvery grain of sand can walkDoors appear and doors dissolveStill we rise, still we evolve.It's just a dot, it's just a startBut it opens up the world and heartIt's just a door, it's just a lineBut it breaks the spell of space and timeFirst dot on the wall - now I seeHow vast, how wide, how small we be.First dot on the wall…First step, first call…Now we see…The feeling is very much like that of a sudden dot appearing on a wall that did not have a dot there before. And when you look at it, the dot seemed to have been there since the wall was built.When this happens, we often tell ourselves all sorts of stories about why we had not seen the dot before. But, as it “becomes,” it has always “been.”That is how the physical universe appeared to the WE. One moment it was not there; the next it was - and always had been. Of course, the WE then had to go investigate this dot.The third song of the eight tracks in the album I want to share with you is called “We Are The Sand”“We Are The Sand”We were the sand, golden and wideDancing with oceans, moving with tidesShining and soft, talking for yearsLaughing with water, shedding no tears.We weren't in a hurry, we weren't making plansJust shimmering softly in crystalline bandsMillions of lifetimes beneath the sunWe were the sand, and we were having fun.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.One summer day something landed nearBig, hard, metallic, a little unclearHumans in suits, walking aroundScooping up pieces of sky and ground.They couldn't hear us, they couldn't seeHow much we giggled, how wild we could beThey took us with them, to somewhere newBut we were the sand, and they never knew.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sand.Multiplicity in every grainOceans whisper and skies explainFeathers and forests, bodies and handsWe are, we are, and we understand.Oh we move, we move, through time and spaceIn grains and waves, we find our placeNot lost, not found, not trying to landWe're still dancing - we were the sandWe were the sand, and we still areCarried by oceans, cradled by starsIn laughter, in silence, in grains so grandWe were the sand… we are the sand…This song explains the experience remembered of the first time the WE (me) encountered human beings. It happens in a time far into what humans might consider the future. As time is simply the interpretation of movements of solidity through space, this experience could be said to have happened in the distant past also. When speaking of solidity, just a reminder here that thoughts, waves, or energy in any form are considered solid by the WE.I hope you enjoy the music, and enjoy our discussion of the meaning behind the lyrics. As a matter of interest, all my created artists are expressing experience and wisdom learned as WE live as Inelia. Many of these experiences are deeply felt by individuals who have gone through the veil to enter into physical life.One of the thoughts that often crosses my mind is how unique we all are on Earth, and yet how the experience of entering a light/dark containment can echo in strikingly similar ways for light-beings everywhere. By recognizing and sharing these echoes, the hold they once had over us dissolves - leaving us with the power to rise, together, into something brighter.In sharing our journeys, we shatter the illusion created by darkness - and together we embody the light.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quarta-feira (01/10/2025): A Vigilância Sanitária contabilizou, até ontem, sete casos confirmados e 15 em investigação de intoxicação por metanol no Estado de SP. O governo começou a fechar estabelecimentos que teriam vendido bebidas contaminadas. Dos cinco óbitos com suspeita de ingestão de metanol, um deles, na capital, teve contaminação confirmada. Os outros quatro estão sob análise – três em SP e um em São Bernardo do Campo. O ministro da Justiça e Segurança Pública, Ricardo Lewandowski, disse que “no momento, (as ocorrências) estão concentradas em São Paulo, mas tudo indica que há distribuição e, portanto, por ser ocorrência que transcende o limite de um Estado, atrai a competência da Polícia Federal”. A PF abriu inquérito. As autoridades tentam apurar qual foi a circunstância da adulteração de bebidas destiladas. O objetivo é identificar fornecedores das bebidas aos estabelecimentos e quem tenha manipulado os produtos contaminados.

Lesley-Ann Jones talks about her new book Love, Freddie: Freddie Mercury's Secret Life and Love. Far from a The post Love, Freddie: Behind the Mask of Freddie Mercury appeared first on The Strange Brew .

New York est la ville la plus photographiée et la plus filmée au monde. La plus racontée aussi. Tellement que nous en avons tous une image. Là je suis sûr qu'en m'écoutant, vous en avez une en tête. Je ne sais plus qui a dit que c'est la seule ville à être mieux en vrai que sur les cartes postales mais que dire alors de New York, la nuit. C'est vrai qu'à l'heure où le soleil se couche, où des centaines de milliers de fenêtres et enseignes s'éclairent à l'électricité, cette ville étonnante change de visage, devient féérique. Sans doute parce que chaque lumière nous dit : hé, il y a quelqu'un, là-dedans, une histoire se déroule à l'intérieur, et peut-être, sans doute que cette histoire est passionnante.Regardez la porte de cet immeuble s'ouvrir, à deux pas de l'East River, vous voyez le type qui en sort ? Oui, il est deux heures du matin, c'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle ce Londonien est venu vivre ici, en 1980, dans cette ville qui ne dort jamais. Il est vrai que pour un gars qui souffre d'insomnie, Londres et l'Angleterre en général, ne sont pas réputés pour la densité de leur vie nocturne. Par contre, ici, quelle que soit l'heure, Freddie sait qu'il peut appeler un taxi pour se faire conduire en boîte et rencontrer des gens. En plus, les Américains n'ont pas encore imprimé son nouveau look cheveux courts et moustaches, on ne le reconnaît pas d'emblée. Le temps de descendre les 33 étages en ascenseur, le taxi l'attend en bas de son immeuble, le Sovereign, qui possède une vue imprenable sur Manhattan depuis l'East River. Et c'est vrai que c'est superbe depuis le balcon de son appart. Mais vu de si haut, la solitude, la nuit, n'en est que plus grande, elle vous donne autant l'impression de survoler la ville que d'en être exclu. Alors souvent, Freddie Mercury craque et sort. Un regard vers l'ombre du pont devenu célèbre depuis peu grâce à l'affiche du film de Woody Allen, Manhattan. Freddie est allé voir jusque-là, c'est tout près, mais le banc où le héros passe la fin de nuit avec sa maîtresse en attendant le moment où sa myriade de lumières s'éteint au lever du jour, n'existe pas. Il paraît qu'il a été placé juste pour le film.Freddie donne une adresse au taximan qui démarre, comme la conversation. Arrivés à un grand carrefour, le chauffeur lui demande de regarder à droite, par la vitre, un immeuble qu'il désigne. Ça ne vous dit rien ?Freddie scrute une façade franchement décrépie mais non, rien.Et ça ?Il lui tend alors une cassette préenregistrée que Freddie reconnaît, c'est l'album le plus vendu du moment, celui de Billy Joël, et de son tube, Honesty. Tout le monde l'a acheté à New York, dit-il. Et pas qu'ici. Freddie écoute le chauffeur lui raconter fièrement avoir assisté par hasard à la séance photo il y a quelques mois. Il avait ralenti en voyant un coin de façade éclairé par des parapluies de photographe au milieu de quelques badauds, et il avait reconnu Billy Joël. Il était, bien sûr, déjà fan ; comment ne pas l'être du type qui a chanté Piano Man, cette chanson qui raconte si justement l'Amérique la nuit, celle des bars. Il était descendu de son taxi mais avait été tenu à l'écart. Quelle aventure, ironise Freddie. C'est fou les rencontres qu'on peut faire quand on est à New York. Bon, chéri, on y va ? Tu m'emmènes en boîte ?

Last week the "How We Heard It" hosts came up with a list of the greatest women singers in modern music, debating Janis Joplin vs. Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter vs. Barbra Streisand while also finding endless praise for everyone from Aretha Franklin to Linda Ronstadt to Annie Lennox to Billie Eilish. This week, "How We Heard It" pivots to men singers, going back in time to crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and country legends like Hank Williams and George Jones. From there, the hosts come forward, breezing through classic singer-songwriters like Jim Croce and James Taylor, R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and all manner of rock singers, including Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury, while pausing to engage in the inevitable Paul McCartney vs. John Lennon debate. The 1980s and 1990s are represented by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Sting, Robert Palmer, Michael Hutchence, Trent Reznor, Vince Gill and Randy Travis. And today's stars are also evaluated, including Post Malone, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Benson Boone and John Legend. Meanwhile, you might be surprised to find out where many of the others fall into place, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson and Robert Plant. Especially Robert Plant.

We have all known now about HIV/AIDS since the 80's with well known people such as Rock Hudson and Freddie Mercury having died from the disease. Billions of dollars have been invested over the last 2 plus decades investing in government and civil society solutions. Many people in the west think that HIV/AIDS has gone away and even though we have made incredible strides to get it under control, it still takes thousands of lives every year and we see new infections daily. On this show we talk to Joanna Bichsel, the Founder and CEO of African based purpose driven firm Kasha on what it will take to finally end HIV. AIDS disproportionately effects people in Subsaharan Africa however the good news is that the solutions and technology are now in place to actually see the end of the HIV pandemic in our lifetime. This is known as "last mile health" and many might be interested in the fact that a lot of those solutions are within the private sector.

Freddie Mercury had an affair with a close friend's wife and, in 1977, became a father. He's now a grandfather. That's the foundation of a new book ‘Love, Freddie' by his highly respected biographer Lesley-Ann Jones which details a four-year, detailed exchange with his daughter ‘B', now 48, and the contents of the 17 notebooks he gave her before he died in 1991. We talk to Lesley-Ann here about this gripping new tilt on his story which covers … … the 41-page document B sent her in 2021 and how the author assumed it was a hoax … why B was outraged by his portrayal in the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic … how the notebooks Freddie gave her are legally owned by Sony “and she would burn them if they tried to collect them” … Freddie's turmoil at the time of her conception - engaged to Mary Austin, a love affair with David Minns … B's secret life in Kensington and Montreux and her father's “scary knitwear” disguises … “in the age of AI, even a real photo of Freddie and his daughter would be reckoned a scam” … the unheard – surely priceless - recordings Freddie made of the two of them singing together … how B's existence stayed a secret and the members of Queen's inner circle who might have known about her … the photo of B, aged four, with her dad and David Bowie … and how there were no denials about B's existence from Queen or any Cease & Desist demands when the book extracts published.

Freddie Mercury had an affair with a close friend's wife and, in 1977, became a father. He's now a grandfather. That's the foundation of a new book ‘Love, Freddie' by his highly respected biographer Lesley-Ann Jones which details a four-year, detailed exchange with his daughter ‘B', now 48, and the contents of the 17 notebooks he gave her before he died in 1991. We talk to Lesley-Ann here about this gripping new tilt on his story which covers … … the 41-page document B sent her in 2021 and how the author assumed it was a hoax … why B was outraged by his portrayal in the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic … how the notebooks Freddie gave her are legally owned by Sony “and she would burn them if they tried to collect them” … Freddie's turmoil at the time of her conception - engaged to Mary Austin, a love affair with David Minns … B's secret life in Kensington and Montreux and her father's “scary knitwear” disguises … “in the age of AI, even a real photo of Freddie and his daughter would be reckoned a scam” … the unheard – surely priceless - recordings Freddie made of the two of them singing together … how B's existence stayed a secret and the members of Queen's inner circle who might have known about her … the photo of B, aged four, with her dad and David Bowie … and how there were no denials about B's existence from Queen or any Cease & Desist demands when the book extracts published.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 5ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhí buachaill aois 14 ar bannaí an oíche roimhe de bharr gur rinne sé mórdhíobháil choirp do chailín aois 7. I 1999 bhí na daoine a raibh ag déanamh an Ardteistiméireacht arís chun pionós a ghearradh orthu faoi mholadh nua. I 1980 tháinig comhairle spórt clarecastle amach le plean nua chun áis comhaimseartha nua a bheith acu sa bhaile. I 1999 dúradh go mbeadh an costas chun glantachán a dhéanamh san Abhainn na Sionainne níos mó ná 80 milliúin punt. Sin Lou Bega le Mambo No5 – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1999. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1968 chuaigh The Doors chuig an Bhreatain don chéad uair agus chuaigh siad ar Top Of The Pops agus chan siad Hello I Love You. I 1981 chuaigh Stevie Nicks chuig uimhir a haon lena halbam Bella Donna le hamhráin air cosúil le Stop Draggin My Heart Around, Leather and Lace, Edge of Seventeen agus After the Glitter Fades. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Michael Keaton I Meiriceá I 1951 agus rugadh amhránaí Freddie Mercury I Zanzibar ar an lá seo I 1946 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 5th of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: A 14 year old boy was remanded on bail last night to Trim District Court charged with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to 7year old Dinah Walsh. 1999: Repeat Leaving Certificate students would be penalized under radical new proposals put forward by the points commission. 1980: Clarecastle Community Sports Council announced plans for the development of modern sporting amenities in Clarecastle. 1999: It was said that it would take over £80 million to kick start a clean up of the Shannon River. That was Lou Bega with Mambo No5 – the biggest song on this day in 1999 Onto music news on this day In 1968 On their first ever visit to the UK The Doors appeared on Top Of The Pops performing 'Hello I Love You' live on the TV show. 1981 Stevie Nicks went to No.1 on the US album with Bella Donna, featuring the tracks ‘Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' (the Tom Petty duet), ‘Leather and Lace' (with Don Henley), ‘Edge of Seventeen' and ‘After the Glitter Fades.' And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Michael Keaton was born in America in 1951 and singer Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar on this day in 1946 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Was für ein epochales Vermächtnis Queen hinterlassen haben: 15 Studio-Alben, 10 Live-Alben und 3 Greatest-Hits-Compilations, wo wirklich jeder Hit ein Hit ist. Und wie unterschiedlich diese Hits sind. Die epische Rock-Eskapade „Bohemian Rhapsody“, der perfekter Pop von „A Kind of Magic“, die Stadio-Hymne „We Are the Champions“, Rockabilly like „Crazy Little Thing Called Love“, der Funk in „Another One Bites the Dust“, das Cabaret in „Killer Queen“, der Party-Hit „Don't Stop Me Now“, der perfekte Riff-Rock „Hammer to Fall“ oder ein Requiem wie „The Show Must Go On“. All dies, weil bei Queen vier geniale Musiker – Instrumentalisten, Songschreiber und Arrangeure – am Werk waren, die unterschiedliche Interessen hatten und die Toleranz, die Interessen der anderen zu akzeptieren und in vielen Fällen sogar zu fördern. Und Queen hatten den für viele besten Frontmann aller Zeiten. Freddie Mercury war ein flamboyanter Dandy und sensibler Charakter, ein emotionaler Macho und Held der queeren Szene, ein extrovertierter Opern-Sänger und Rock'n'Roller in schwarzem Leder Outift – und er hatte diese unvergleichliche, kraftvolle und warme Stimme. Man könnte eine ganze Podcast-Reihe über einzelne Alben dieser Band machen, Musik-Journo Kollege Jochen Schliemann und Stereo.Typ Marc Mühlenbrock versuchen das sheer Unmögliche: die Karriere der Band in nur einer Episode, #109Queen, zusammenzufassen. Es geht nicht um Vollständigkeit, sondern um große Momente, Stimmungen und persönliche Erinnerungen – zu denen sich auch Brian May und Roger Taylor äußern.

In this session I explore what it really means to teach confidence. Not just telling people to “be confident,” but showing them how through embodiment, modelling, and practice. I share ways I work with clients and students — from exaggeration and contrast exercises, to using archetypes like Freddie Mercury, to simple poses that shift how we carry ourselves. We look at how confidence is often learned unconsciously, why it's more about “how you do you” than copying someone else, and how even a minute a day of practice can make a difference. ----------------------------------------------- As a special gift for you, our loyal listeners, we are offering $1200 off our flagship course, the Certificate of Embodiment Coaching when you use code: CEC25PODCAST More info here: https://embodimentunlimited.com/cec ----------------------------------------------- Check out our YouTube channel for more coaching tips and our Podcast channel for full episode videos Uplevel your coaching with a free copy of Mark's latest eBook, The Top 12 Embodiment Coaching Techniques  Join Mark for those juicy in-person workshops and events Fancy some free coaching demo sessions with Mark?  Connect with Mark Walsh on Instagram

Episode 4 of the six-part From Gods to Time Machines series with Cats in Space.Greg Hart recalls first hearing Damien Edwards audition recordings:“He could sing like a 13-year-old Donny Osmond or Freddie Mercury… and then he sends back four lead vocals in a day. Ian Capel just sat there and said, ‘Well, he's the best singer I've ever recorded in my career.'”In this fourth episode of my 10 Years of Cats in Space interview series, I'm joined by Greg Hart and Steevi Bacon to explore the making of the band's 2020 album Atlantis. This was a pivotal release — a new singer, a global pandemic, and personal challenges all shaped its creation. Hear how Damien Edwards joined the band, how Stevie recorded before major heart surgery, and how Atlantis became one of the band's most cinematic and uplifting albums.

Jai, Matt and Ian with regular guest Sam Swallow return after a long hiatus to kick off our final season with Freddie's playful masterpiece “Bicycle Race” from Jazz. This time, Matt and Sam rope in Dan Western on drums and even enlist the help of a local bike shop to bring the cover version to life...complete with bells! We chat about the song's quirky structure, Freddie's writing genius, and all the weird and wonderful elements that make this track so uniquely Queen.

Estados Unidos no entendió a Queen en los 80's. Esto podría quedar reducido a la anécdota del videoclip de "I Want to Break Free", pero hay mucho más que eso. En este capítulo de Expediente Sonar, Alfredo Lewin desclasifica esas polémicas que le significaron más de un enemigo a Freddie Mercury y compañía.

Recordamos a don Ramón Valdés en su aniversario luctuoso. Se cumplen 50 años del lanzamiento del disco "A Night At The Opera" de Queen, donde escuchamos ese gran tema llamado "Bohemian Rhapsody". ¿Se acuerdan cuando vinieron a México? Hasta zapatos le aventaron a Freddie Mercury. Además, el dato para ligar y la historia de los bergantines de Cortés.

Outward is going on a little summer break, in the meantime we're leaving you with a delightfully queer episode of Slate's Hit Parade with Chris Molanphy called Mighty Real. This is part two—catch part one in our previous episode. Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan. It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Amongst its pages, there are many familiar names—Oscar Wilde, Quentisn Crisp, Sappho, James Baldwin, Freddie Mercury — but also many we might not expect: Florence Nightingale, Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Tchaikovsky, Greta Garbo, Richard the Lionheart, even Abraham Lincoln,  along with 1000 other stories of artists, generals, politicians, kings, despots and many more figures drawn from 5000 years of hidden culture.   Keith Stern came to the Bureau to talk about his extraordinary encyclopaedia ‘Queers in History', what drove him to write it, and why it matters.   The book is more than a who's-who of queer life —it's a challenge to the official version of the past, a reminder of how history gets made, unmade, and remade,  depending on who's telling the stories, inviting us to consider how queerness has always existed, and has contributed to the culture. And we get into the subject of whether Gandalf was Queer - yes, we really do…

He's jammed with Freddie Mercury after Live Aid, written songs with Beach Boys royalty, and once found himself shooting guns in a backyard with KISS guitarist Ace Frehley…while on Quaaludes. I'm talking about musician, songwriter, and producer Larry Dvoskin. Over the years, Larry has collaborated with legends like Robert Plant, Sammy Hagar, Sean Lennon, Robin Zander, Bad Company, Al Jardine, and MGMT. In this episode, we cover it all—from co-writing “Wish” with Al Jardine, to talking quantum physics with Paul McCartney, to the unreleased David Bowie–Brandy track he's holding onto. He shares the full story behind that surreal Ace Frehley moment and discusses his latest release, “This New Age,” recorded with the band Familiar Faces. We kick off this conversation with a heartfelt look at the legacy of Brian Wilson - and the timeless music of the Beach Boys that continues to inspire generations.

Epstein; Tariffs; GM; Fed; Energy; Sugar; Cronyism; Russia; China; Fusion; AI |The Yaron Brook Show | July 22, 2025 In this packed and provocative episode, Yaron dives into the latest headlines—from the moral rot surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the cowardice of those in power, to the destructive resurgence of protectionism in the form of tariffs. He takes on General Motors and the growing web of corporate-state entanglement, lambasting the Federal Reserve for its continued economic manipulation. In segments on energy and sugar, Yaron exposes the deep-rooted cronyism distorting prices and crushing innovation—all while enriching the politically connected.The conversation then turns global, with sharp commentary on Russia's aggression, China's authoritarian ambitions, and the West's philosophical disarmament in the face of both. Yaron explores the promise and peril of emerging technologies—like the bold (but dubious?) claims of nuclear fusion breakthroughs, and the race to harness AI without sacrificing individual rights and human purpose. Can the West still lead? Only if it reclaims its moral and philosophical foundations.**Live Questions:**In a dynamic and wide-ranging Q&A, Yaron answers questions about the psychology behind public shaming and resentment, the loneliness epidemic, the relationship between logic and reason, and whether a love of money is virtuous. Viewers asked about favorite rockstars to resurrect (hello, Freddie Mercury), Kurosawa films, NYC boroughs, and even the ethics of eternal post-death consciousness. One question explored how proximity to people who refuse to truly *Live* can affect your own ability to thrive. As always, thoughtful, unscripted, and unapologetically rational.Key Time Stamps:05:00 Jeffrey Epstein10:15 Tariffs15:15 General Motors19:10 Federal Reserve27:00 Energy30:45 Sugar35:55 Cronyism44:20 Russia48:40 China53:40 Fusion1:03:00 AILive Questions begin at 1:08:18---
