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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Don't let your dreams stay dreams!

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

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

I really don’t see any problem there

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 60 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Are that Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 weeks ago

The King and Queen, yes.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

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

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You needed proof?

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

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

Having fun is communist

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

Men need to dress like this 🤌

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[–] xav@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

i did not know about that, thank you XD
