queen for some reason don't have that. maybe it's because they were too aware of their own camp value thus making it impossible for people to claim them in that way. so they have a nasty, po-faced, ben elton penned musical based on their music in the west end and absolutely no credibilty whatsoever. they have been claimed by jumper wearing aunties from berkhampstead.
compare this to sayyyy, motorhead (who, let's not forget were also terminally horribly uncool when i was growing up) who have been claimed by hoxton types as their very own.
which is kind of weird as queen were a flamboyantly gay middle class intellectual artschool band with a massive line in camp self-parody and they're universally derided by the middle class artschool vice magazine reading folk of this world; wheras artless, stinky, warty, speed huffing metal warthogs motorhead (who's singer let's not forget collects nazi memorabilia) are absolutely fine to pretend to like. in fact i think you have to show evidence of owning at least one "vintage" motorhead t shirt to get past security at the old blue last.Statistics: Posted by dookerdoo — Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:15 pm
