Funny story related to the two phenomenal musicians in this photo...

At one point (probably when this photo was taken), Michael and Freddie attempted to collaborate on an album. But it fell apart fairly quickly due to personal differences in the studio. Those differences?

Michael was weirded out by Freddie 's drug habit.

Freddie was weirded out by Michael's insistence that his pet llama be allowed in the studio.

If I was famous I’d have a drug habit and a drug addicted pet llama.

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

You could have been the glue to bring that album together 🥲 where were you

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You know that's not fair to the llama. I would hope you'd love your pet llama enough to take all the drugs yourself.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

Well don't force the drugs on the llama, but if the llama wants to partake, who are you to take away that freedom?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would really. I love all animals, especially llamas, they hold all the good loot.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Loot? Hol' up.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago

In Fortnite you could find a purple Llama, kinda like a better loot chest than normal.

Don't let your dreams stay dreams!

[–] Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

That appears to be half of Brian May in the background, who is, of course, also a phenomenal musician.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 5 points 5 days ago

I really don’t see any problem there

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 60 points 5 days ago (3 children)

They hate.

That's honestly enough. Republicans are filled with hate for anything that doesn't follow exactly how they expect people to live. They don't want freedom, they don't want expression, and they don't want anyone to be more happy or more successful than they are. That's why they hate so much and so hard, because other people's happiness and the freedom to achieve that happiness, pisses them off.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

and how a lot of it works is that they think falling in line instead of being who you are is a righteous choice because that's what their family or community tortured them into doing. the radical conservatives think if they allow people to be gay, there will be no straight people. what a wild thing for someone who's themselves straight to think

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

Yup. They endured all the shitty things they were told to endure like church and regular beatings with a belt, and its very upsetting to them that other people think they have a right to their own idea of what a happy and healthy lifestyle looks like. If YOU can be happy without falling in line and doing what you're told to do by some dude that's interpreting a 3000 year old religious book, then what does that mean for how they have chosen to spend the last 50+ years of THEIR life?

Also a lot of them are simply just racist and either don't want to admit it to themselves, or don't want people outside of their close circle to know so that hate just boils up inside of them.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

I hate.

I hate bigotry. I hate intolerance. I hate those who would control us. I hate apathy and oppotunism. I hate narcissism. I hate the people who choose ignorance. I hate the people who manipulate the stupid for their own benefit.

My hatred is earned through choices that people make.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Reminds me of all the time they've been caught with their pants down doing all the things they hate. Fucking hypocrites the lot of them 😂

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Are that Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 32 points 5 days ago

The King and Queen, yes.

[–] Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Also Dong

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 13 points 5 days ago

No but you see it was different back then! They were not woke!

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is Freddy half chubbed?

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He was notoriously huge-schlonged. Check out any damn photo of him.

Queen, Live Aid, 1985. Those pants are tight.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Fucking camera man. Can you just please zoom in on his crotch already!

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You needed proof?

Funny thing, tho. They'd kill to be able to play their music on the campaign trail.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Having fun is communist

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean I don't really like mj either. He's at the very least extremely weird about kids. Having a Neverland place or ranch or park or whatever it was as skeeves me tf out.

Sure I feel bad about his past, but I don't have to like him as an artist or person.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Seeing as you're using the present tense I'm going to tell you you can stop worrying because he's dead.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

People don't have to be alive to be liked. Or for their art to be liked.

Or for their shady shit to be hated on. I'm not worried now lol

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They hate white guys with pony tails. They hate themselves the most.

[–] xav@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not true. Many Republicans like ~~raping~~ having inappropriate behavior with underage children.

[–] rocket_dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Men need to dress like this 🤌

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Please not all men.

Ruin your day by imagining #47 in jeans and a T-shirt that displayed his bulbousity and dicklessness the way Freddy's embraces his fine form.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Im gonna be the first person to save those poor republicans from seeing the hated a jeans by burning theirs down >!because they "hate everything" in the picture jeans are no nos :p!<

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Remember when they got mad at Wrangler Jeans for doing a collaboration with Lil Nas X? They literally got mad about jeans.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

i did not know about that, thank you XD

[+] Spendrill@lemm.ee -8 points 5 days ago (5 children)

The one on the left was a pederast.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

A. He wasn't. B. If he was, that would be the only thing republicans would approve of.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Never proven, and his accusers’ stories were all rescinded or filled with so many discrepancies and holes, they never could stand in court.

Essentially, he was an odd dude (who could blame him, after the childhood and life he had), and people took advantage of his oddness to frame him and get at his money.

[–] VolumetricShitCompressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

Where's the evidence

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Prove it.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

No, see.. we have to believe all rape victims, unless they're talking about Michael Jackson - because he made great music.

So, those guys who have repeatedly gone on record saying he raped them and had their lives absolutely ruined for it - they're 'just doing it for the publicity' (which they've made clear they hate and has ruined their lives) and 'for the money' (which will never come because Jackson is personally bankrupt, and his estate is owned by other corporations/entities that they cannot legally make claims against).

So they're Schrödingers rape victims. They're liars because they haven't proved it in court, and they're just money/fame hungry because they're trying to prove it in court.
