Fuel Up And Watch A Game

This fuel pump has a impressive HD screen to show all sorts of things like ads, basketball highlights, weather forecasts and movie trailers while you fuel up. Impressive.

Thoughts On Freddie Mercury

After seeing the life of Freddie Mercury on the silver screen it’s important to recognize how gifted this man was. He marched to the beat of his own drummer and made no apologies for it. His life was at times messy but that is what formed and shaped as a person and artist.

Without doubt he could command an audience like no other performer in history. God blessed us with his life and musical genius. He and Queen represented the freaks and geeks of the world who needed a champion and taught them to rock the world.

Welcome To Normal Monday

It’s the first “normal” Monday in a couple of weeks. We won’t be celebrating Christmas or New Year’s Eve today. People are returning to the grind after the holidays. Schools are back in session and it seems the rhythm of life is back to the ordinary.

I hope you have a great day. I’ll try to do the same. Love and peace.

Bohemian Rhapsody, A Epic Masterpiece

This is going to be a spoiler free review of Bohemian Rhapsody which was a epic film based on the life of Freddie Mercury and the awesome rock band Queen.

Rami Malek’s performance as Freddie Mercury was breathtaking. He was simply awesome throughout the film. This was a look back in time of how the group formed and how Mercury made Queen into the group we know them now to be. The film transforms its cast so well into the roles of Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.

You will be amazed in how this movie tells you things you didn’t know about the group too. The music as you would expect is fantastic and you will be taken back into time. throughout two decades where this group became the biggest in the world. You will be amazed at the recreation of their Live Aid performance in London back in 1985. I loved this movie and it is truly a masterpiece.

Rock on forever Queen!

Be A Little Crazy

To dream and to live you must be a little crazy. It’s a survival mode thing.

Seeing Bohemian Rhapsody in the historic Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga TN. The venue where movies have been seen for decades.

Pre movie entertainment on the Tivoli’s Wurlitzer organ. Pretty impressive.
