Has anyone ever suggested that "Everybody Wants You" is a song about Freddie Mercury? When I listen to the lyrics, it sounds very much like a description of Freddie and his life... "any way the wind blows". What are your thoughts? |

I've wondered the same thing whenever i listen to that song. It might be, might not, how will we know? (sorry that was not much help) |

Nobody wants Billy Squier |

I wonder if Freddie and Billy ever. On second thought, I don't wonder that. Gross. Stroke Me. |

Billy Squier did a tribute to Freddie at the play called "Mercury: Afterlife of a Rock God." It was very touching and heartfelt. He also had a song on his last Capitol album called "Shocked Straight" which could mean that he may certainly have been gay, and certainly may have written "Everybody wants you" about Freddie. Or anyone. He did have another song on the same album called "Hercules", and while I don't give a shit about who does what with whom, it intrigued me because it was a song about lost love, and one of the lyrics was "But Hercules is not my middle name." The only person I've ever heard of with the middle name Hercules is Elton "Hercules" John. I'm wondering if Billy Squier lost a lover to Elton once. |

Billy Sqier is gay? no way! |
| Micrówave 31.01.2006 15:11 |
I can hear David Furnish now... "Hercules! Hercules!" That's some keen detective work there, but he still wears those pink shirts that make him look like a british cigarette. |

I mean, I knew that Freddie and Billy were friends; I mean, Freddie appeared on Emotions In Motion and Lady With The Tenor Sax (also on a demo of Love Is The Hero). Also, Squier and Queen sold out Madison Square Garden 2 nights in a row in 1982. I'm sure it was one hell of an experience, too bad I wasn't alive yet (5 years later would have done it :p ) But it's all good. Excellent interpretation of the song, it could be that way. I knew he put the line "any way the wind blows" in there for some reason! |

| Micrówave 31.01.2006 18:43 |
that ain't him. Here ya go: (CNN) -- Dropping a political bombshell, New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey announced his resignation Thursday after revealing that he is gay and that he had an adulterous affair with a man. With his wife standing by his side, McGreevey -- a father of two -- spoke in calm tones as he described his struggle with his sexuality, "a certain sense that separated me from others." It was something that he said began as a child. |
| biggest_fan_K 31.01.2006 18:57 |
how do you know that its Billy Squiers boyfriend? Where does it say that? |
| Micrówave 31.01.2006 19:05 |
we got our lines crossed about 5 posts ago. So for the record: 1. Billy is gay. 2. James McGreevy is gay. 3. I have no knowledge of them humping each other. (hadn't used that word in a while plus I don't know what they call it. Redecorating?) 4. I have no idea why I'm pursuing this. Maybe I'm gay. Let me check... *snap* *click* *ding* Nope, not gay. Happy, yes. |

There's still time for you to contribute. We've got a real thinktank going on! "Is it Gay or not Gay? It's time to play." |
| biggest_fan_K 31.01.2006 19:35 |
but how do you know that Billy is gay?? Show me a source that you got that from or whatever |
| Micrówave 01.02.2006 13:16 |
I have a video. |
| Boy Thomas Raker 01.02.2006 13:59 |
Hercules (Billy Squier) I can't stop...it always gets the best of me I can't stop...been holdin' out so long I can't stop...whenever you get close to me I can't stop...I'm really not that strong I don't wanna grow apart I don't wanna drift away I don't wanna come apart We can surely find a way Now I don't mind...lookin' at the photographs I find myself...holdin' back the tears And I don't mind...when I read the words you wrote to me 'Cause I got time...to silence all my fears I don't want us torn apart I don't wanna slip away I don't want us torn apart Give me just another day I don't wanna throw it all away I don't wanna lose my hold I don't wanna throw it all away I don't wanna lose my...whoa... I can't stop...I'm holdin' back the memories But Hercules...is not my middle name Walls will fall...and you'll be standin' next to me And Hercules...will never be the same I don't wanna fall apart I don't wanna fade away I don't wanna fall apart Give me just another day |

Is the video 'Rock Me Tonight'? I had the LP 'Tale of the Tape' before 'The Stroke' was a hit, always liked him, saw him with Queen in '82, but, I have to admit, the way he pranced around in that video...well.... |
| Boy Thomas Raker 01.02.2006 16:34 |
That video virtually ruined Billy Squier. He said that it didn't turn out anything like he envisioned and felt mislead by the video director. Then again, he collapsed in a supermarket right at the time of Emotions in Motion, because Mack's mix was horrible, and Billy had to remix it right until the minute it was going to print. How much control do performers have with their careers? |

Is this all that you people spend your time doing? |

Freddie was on "Emotions In Motion"? |
