Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury
The first 45 I ever bought: sort of a cliche, I guess, but oh well:
Re: that song, and the album it's from. I'd probably seem ultra cool if I admitted that this album changed my life--and it did, sort of, but that was much later when I was 16--but ten years earlier, this one changed my life first. (And it probably had a lot to do with making me gay, too.)
The other obvious classic Freddie reference point:
I remember in The Book of Lists how there were always lists of people naming their "Top Ten Famous People I'd Invite to Dinner." People were always naming Einstein and Jesus Christ and Jim Morrison. Well, I think Freddie would be a hell of a lot more fun at dinner... he'd definitely be on my list.

Some friends are doing a Queen tribute tonight (http://austin.metblogs.com/archives/2007/09/magnifico_an_au.phtml) in honor of his birthday. It should be pretty amazing.
