    I care for my kids.
    I care about debunking the Queen idolatry on this forum.

    It is, but it further underlines what an inherent circus this whole thing is. This is not being treated seriously because people know it is not to be taken seriously.

    Ok, clichéd then. :)

    Funny, but you've debunked nothing whatsoever.
    And idolatry on this forum about Queen?... as opposed to other groups or artists, such as The Beatles or Bob Dylan, that are worshiped far more on this forum?

    So you're essentially feeling left out because other people like a group that you don't, and you're predictably letting out your frustrations about that whenever Mercury, Queen or their songs are brought up. And that's what you care to do.

    You haven't "debunked" anything though...
    How does one debunk idolatry anyway? :confused:

    All props to their earworm 45. Ten more and they might be up there with the Monkees, at least as a singles band.

    I do/did. Just doing my part to have two less morons in the world. You're welcome.

    Ten more? So I take it you're unfamiliar with their greatest hits. Again, you're debunking nothing.

    Unless you're purposefully trolling, and that ain't pretty: Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists »

    I came to this thread for the "Taurus" suit, I stayed for the child-rearing vocabulary tips and Queen idolatry debunking!

    I have a 6 year old. I love teaching her new words.
    I don't think pastiche is a particularly advanced word either. :shrug:

    I originally came for the taurus suit, left and came back to defend the honour of my Queen.
    Being British I felt compelled. :D

    I wouldn't take seriously someone who thinks Queens entire catalogue can be summed up by a couple of songs and who also thinks they are below The Monkees.
    If he's not trolling, he's bloody good at pretending he is.

    So quit trolling the Copyright thread by touting Queen. Sure they had some other hits, no acounting for taste, but only WWRY is up there with those by the Monkees.

    You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word trolling > "In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community."

    You're the one who's been doing that here. Read back.

    I think I'm getting a bigger kick out of this than the trial now. :winkgrin:

    I followed others off topic here. If folks can keep the Queen talk to one of the threads focused to that lame band, I will be glad to focus on copyright here.

    Nope. You wrote "Bohemian Rhapsody is a pompous bore and the antithesis of everything good in rock", then went on to say "if someone praises it, I do my civic duty and debunk. It was entertaining exactly once, and that in the context of a first viewing of Waynes World."

    You're out of your depth if you think you're debunking anything. From Wiki - "Bohemian Rhapsody" remains one of Queen's most popular songs and is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time. The single was accompanied by apromotional video, which many scholars consider ground-breaking.[8]Rolling Stone magazine states: "Its influence cannot be overstated, practically inventing the music video seven years before MTV went on the air."[9] In 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[10] In 2012, the song topped the list on an ITV nationwide poll in the UK to find "The Nation's Favourite Number One" over 60 years of music.[11]

    You're talking about a worldwide hit that stayed at number.1 for 9 weeks in the UK (and that was just the first time it was released) and has repeatedly topped polls.

    But then, you probably know this, and you're just letting out your frustrations almost every time you see Mercury, Queen or their songs get a mention on this forum as you're feeling left out, or something. That's how it comes across.

    Anyway, shall we get back on topic now?

    Which is one way of looking at it. Another way to see it is that Bloomberg has a clever art department.

    Good stuff!.
    Start a flame war and then abruptly distance yourself from any blame. :righton:

    Wasting your time.
    You will just get more perfunctory responses.

    Yes defending Queen is a waste of time.

    Again, you debunked nothing.

    Then that amounts to trolling on Rfreeman's behalf. Given the studies on trolls, that's a no-win situation for him.

    So apparently the most upsetting thing you can say in a Zeppelin thread is that "Bohemian Rhapsody" isn't the definitive rock epic of all time.
