Gayest Thing, Ever...

OK, there are a lot of competitors for the winners of this post's title:

Just too many others to list.

But, this is one of my first memories of such utter, fabulous gayness that I feel I must share it with you now...

Once again, for Music Monday, we return to Queen, and the inimitable, late Freddie Mercury:
For something equally sensational and marvelous, please watch this video of Freddie performing with the magnificent Monserrat Caballe at the Barcelona Olympics. I nearly peed myself when I was watching the coverage of the games (I was 20)...later I owned this CD.

Now that I think about it, this video/song may win: (Freddie Mercury + Monserrat Caballe) x Summer Olympics Theme Song = Way Gay.

PM - so dated, and yet so fabulous. And Barcelona always gets to me...I know it's kind of cheesy, but stunning all at the same time. After Freddie passed away, Monserrate continued to perform that song, with his part projected on a screen, like Natalie Cole doing "Unforgettable". Makes me bawl every time.

Jen - Freddie was a master of the stage - the voice, the presence...such a loss, to die so young. *sigh*
