Not specifically Queen-oriented (although there’s tasty stuff up for auction) but a cause we all can and should support –

Rock Your Face Off For A Good Cause

If you're in Los Angeles, we strongly suggest you see an awesome rock show tonight that benefits Sophia Smith, the incredibly cute 8-month-old daughter of Sweet guitarist Stuart Smith. Sophia was born prematurely and weighed only 3 lbs., 10 oz. and had to spend a month in the NICU; she now faces another life-saving surgery, and her parents are buried under a mountain of medical bills.

Hosted by KLOS/L.A. midday goddess Cynthia Fox, the bill includes members of Sweet, Foreigner, AC/DC, Toto, Survivor, Montrose and L.A. Guns, as well as ELP keyboard legend Keith Emerson and a rock memorabilia auction. It all starts tonight at 7pm at the Avalon, and tickets and donation info are at www.help4sophia.org.

Just in time for the holidays – in eight different languages, here’s links so you can download your very own copy of the Queen Narratives – the exclusive track by track interviews of Brian and Roger regarding the songs on Absolute Greatest.

The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken)


What happened to the protest song?

Music is now so polished, shiny and predictable, we have forgotten to try and “say something with it”

I am getting old and like everyone, have the right to say something about the “state of control” we live under – powerless to do anything about it.

In case you hadn’t noticed.

The high street is full of holes.

We are fighting a pointless actively negative war which is killing our young soldiers and which we simply cannot afford.

This war promotes and prolongs terrorism.

This is our Vietnam. Unwinnable. Pointless.

We are taxed and retaxed while the nation is not only broke but utterly bankrupt, being propped up with tax payers money and money which is simply printed.

We are spied upon by 5 million cameras.

We have thousands of petty rules and regulations – more than ever before - no wonder people are bewildered and confused.

As a nation we own almost nothing including “our” water, electricity, gas, airspace and major manufacturers.

Personal privacy is non-existent.

We are directionless.

I’m pissed off - you should be too.


Happy days
Roger Taylor
