So I read Is This The Real Life?, a Queen biography and my favorite stories from it are:

• A young Roger Taylor in the early seventies climbing up to a third story dorm balcony to get into a girl’s room like BIG T H O T ENERGY
• Deaky throwing his bass dramatically during a show and then spending the rest of the night apologizing to the crew for them having to fix it like what a sweetheart
• Freddie one time accidentally made himself a cup of tea with weed instead of tea and then was later found freaking out because he thought he ruined his favorite record and swore off weed
• Freddie met Mary because Brian, Roger, and Freddie would just hang out in Biba to look at the pretty girls and Brian briefly went out with Mary after meeting her there
• Roger’s mum made him leave his drums at home and swear that he was not going to spend his time in college getting into a band so Roger bought a pair of bongos that he auditioned for Smile with
• The drummer for Guns ‘N Roses was inspired to pursue a rock career after being 15 and seeing Roger Taylor get out of Rolls-Royce on Sunset Strip in Hollywood in a white suit with sunglasses on with a glass of champagne in one hand and a beautiful woman on the other arm and walk into a nightclub
• At Smile’s first big gig Brian showed up wearing school clothes, a white button-up shirt and a knitted tie, and Roger and Tim told him it was way too lame and went back to Roger’s flat and tried to have him wear some of Roger’s clothes but he was too tall to fit into them so he just put on Roger’s purple waistcoat which he had to keep unbuttoned
• Somebody once chucked a hotdog at Freddie from the crowd after Freddie tried to do a kick and fell over.
