The Quietus has unequivocal love for Queen, but it's an affection which
hasn't always been shared by the rock press. Just witness this spat
between the NME (The New Musical Express) and Freddie Mercury from 1977.

"I remember speaking to you three or four years ago.  So you're still working as just a writer.  Life is not treating you very well, is it?"

Burchill and Stewart were practically ''dug-in" there writing such cynical pieces as this...
