Just read a bit in Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury about "I Want to Break Free" not doing well in the US because the cross-dressing in the video was too scandalous and MTV wouldn't play it. Given a) WUT? and b) MTV's current programming...
Reading this has made me all nostalgic (and a bit sad as well). Queen's performance at Live Aid was one of the greatest things to ever happen on a stage. Just look at the crowd. Freddie owns them. It's incredible.
