Because I live in the USA and alot of this music was not released or available in the 70's/80's here...and of course the Internet did NOT yet exist..which has now opened up a whole new world of music, information, video & concert footage that I have never seen or heard or knew til now. Also not to bore you, but I spent much of my younger life as caretaker for a disabled widowed mother, and didn't even go to my 1st concert til my mid twenties. When you spend 24/7 taking care of an invalid, you don't get the chance to experience a whole lot. I didn't (get out so to speak) on my own in the world until my mom passed on in my early thirties.

All is forgiven. You are still my hero! XX Also did you see this?

So I guess Dave Clark who wrote the story, and the 2 music/lyrics composers would own the rights.

Well I bet Serry or JSS know more about this than me. I just know that Cliff owns the rights, it might be that Freddie and him both had it, but after Freddie died, all rights went to Cliff.

YourValentine wrote: Hi Rafael, it's true - you can ask all the questions here. But is it polite and respectful to spam this board with hundreds of repetitive posts when a single click can bring you the answer? Arlene claims to be a music journalist but she does not know that you need the permission of the performing artist to release a live performance (unless he/she agreed to such a release in a contract), that's pretty odd. But it's not enough for her to ask - no, she asks again and again like a 2 year old child. When she does not get an answer within minutes, she reposts the question demanding that John Stuart or other people answer her question when any 10 year old can figure it out for themselves. jgood is not the only person here who is annoyed by the flood of Arlene's redundant posts. They spoil the board for the rest of us. Please read Nr. 1 of Richard's forum guidelines "1. If you are posting many messages in a short space of time, you are doing something wrong. Try, where possible to post one topic instead of five."

How is politely asking Sergey & John a question...being demanding? Also, journalists LEARN by ASKING questions..which ARE a HUGE part of research... ...and I went on QZ for the enjoyment of a NON work/employment environment to discuss Queen topics and learn about Queen from FANS. I am not here doing a job or working, I am here for the discusions and learning experience and to enjoy them in a non hostile/non working environment. P.S. You got angry with me for bringing up that interviw with Freddie on the mercuryparadise website..which I DID find by exploring that very website, then a ton of people on QZ were happy I had brought it to their attention, and asked about it. So what did I do wrong? YOU even helped Fairy with the text of it when she asked about it, but yet you snapped at me for even bringing the interview up, which she and all the people who asked about it would not have known if I had NOT brought it up. I cannot win with you. I do not Spam QZ, I post topics like anybody else here that I find interesting ot want to discuss and bounce feedback from other people. I feel that you have personally attacked me repeatedly with snide comments ever since I came on here. I have NEVER said anything nasty to you, so why must you consistantly put me down?

Arlene R. Weiss wrote: Do NOT insult my intelligence.

I read this board thoroughly and most of the posts and topics daily, as well as daily going on queenonline, Brian's website, and various music and news websites on the net.

.....Many topics I avoid because it's just a thread of people cursing at one another or throwing around homophobic or bigoted remarks.

I NEVER see Barb or you or the folks that bajjer me, EVER saying anything to the homophobes, spammers, cursers who start private wars that have NOTHING to do wit Queen or topics.

And again...missy, That Freddie Interview I brought up, that Barb attacked me about, people on QZ were asking about and posting to that Topic Happy that I had pointed it out to them...then Barb was more than nice to Fairy about how to download it when Fairy said she was happy to haer about that interview, which she and the other people who posted to my Topic would not have known about had I not brought it up.

I also am NOT demanding. I always formulate my questions politely.

I personally think you enjoy belittling me and it is not something to be proud of or smug about.

That", band wars, favorite this or that, reviews of the same Queen albums over and over and over and over. I also am NOT demanding. I always formulate my questions politely. I personally think you enjoy belittling me and it is not something to be proud of or smug about.

The moment I start hating a poster on a message board, I'll get therapy. If you feel offended by my comments, Arlene, I am sorry but maybe you think about what I said and what other people said. - I do not moderate or edit any posts or threads for the content or other reasons, that would be completely against Richard's policy. I delete banned spammers and trolls and it's only in extreme cases. Apart from that my opinion does not count more than anybody else's and I have no more rights than anyone else.

Your work is appreciated here Barbara :)
