Ever since we went to the Queen+Adam Lambert concert (which I have been intending to write about since we saw it), Lis has been playing all the Queen albums in chronological order. And we've now gotten to after Freddie's death, and we're listening to Brian and Roger's solo projects.

Roger Taylor doesn't do subtlety. I agree with his messages, but he doesn't do nuance. His songs have messages like, "My car is fast", "Neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers suck", "Rupert Murdoch is scum", "being happy is good", "I went to poor countries, and I found out that it sucks to be poor."

I agree with all of these messages, but, y'know, he is pretty hilariously direct in his lyric writing: "We've got to stop these stinkin' Nazis", "And dear Mr. Murdoch what have you done?/You're not quite as nice as Attila the Hun" ...

I kind of love this.
