Today - June 27th, 1970 - Queen Story!

The first Queen gig: Truro, City Hall, UK, with Mike Grose on bass

🔸What must it be like to brag that you were at rock gods Queen’s first ever performance? Well, quite a few people in Cornwall can, because on this very date – June 27 – in 1970 popular rockers-on-the-rise Smile played their first gig with a new line-up and a new name, Queen, at Truro City Hall, which later became the Hall For Cornwall.

Truro boy Roger Taylor told Cornwall Live: “That was actually arranged by my mother in aid of the Red Cross. We were paid £50, which was quite a lot of money back then. I’m not sure many people turned up though.”

Roger’s mum Win had placed two adverts in The West Briton newspaper on the run-up to the gig, still in the name of Smile. However, the band had already decided to play under the new name Queen – eyebrow-raising for the time.

She recalled Freddie explaining the new name at her Truro bungalow: "He just kept saying how regal it sounded.”

Sue Johnstone, a friend of the band from Truro, remembered: “We would hitch a lift back to Cornwall from the start of the M4, and on one of these occasions Freddie walked us to the bus stop and said ‘what do you think of the name Queen?’

"We thought it was hilarious because he was always so camp. And we just laughed and thought of the gay connotation immediately, but he tried to make it more acceptable by persuading us that it was ‘regal’.”

The first Queen gig: Truro City Hall, June 27, 1970

With Fred, still known as Bulsara, and bassist Mike Grose – a Truro regular at the Smile shows at PJ’s – on board, Queen was born.

The new band intended to concentrate on its own material. Mike recalled rehearsing tracks from the first album, as well as 'Father to Son' from 'Queen II' and 'Stone Cold Crazy' from 'Sheer Heart Attack' from day one.

In preparation for the first Queen concert, Freddie stayed at the Johnstone sisters’ house at Truro’s Rosedale.

Sue said: “He stayed in our attic room and Freddie would stand on his head with his legs crossed doing yoga against the wall. He had long hair and would use our heating tongs to curl his hair in the way he wanted. And my dad was completely taken aback and initially thought they were all a bit weird.”

However, Freddie and Sue’s father soon became the best of mates when Mr Mercury-to-be and his friends dug up the garden, filled it full of flowers and sorted out the lawn.

Sue Johnstone said of that debut concert and other early Queen shows: “Freddie would get up on the stage and strut his stuff like he’d been doing it all his life. He was well prepared. He didn’t just get up and sing, he got up and performed from day one. I loved Tim's voice, but he wasn't the same as Freddie as a performer"

sissy is arguing w all the hughes and trevor because she wants to go to a dallas/vegas game and wear robo or wyatt’s jersey but none of them will crack on going w her

“PLEASE!” you begged, literally on your knees. “One of you have to love me enough!”

“The Devils are out, both the Canucks and Ducks didn’t make it, and none of us have any desire or friends on the team to go watch them!” Jack argued.

“But I love them!” you shouted.

“I played with Ty Dellandrea in World Juniors,” Jamie said.

“So you’ll come with me?!” you said ecstatically.

“We aren’t really close now…” Jamie said awkwardly.

“Thanks for your help, Jimmy,” Trevor said sarcastically. “And I don’t like your new found love for Johnston!”

“He’s like a son to me!” you argued

“You don’t know him!” Trevor rebutted.

You crossed your arms, “I can go myself, you know!”

“No, I’m not letting you go to Vegas alone,” Quinn said.

“So come with-“

“NO!” All five boys shouted.

“I’m going to the Dallas one then! And you can’t say no to that because I’ve gone to every single one of all of your games against the Stars, including Cole’s and Alex’s when he plays them!” you said firm.

“You go to more than that, don’t lie,” Luke called you out.

“So I go to some Panthers versus Stars games, sue me! And if it’s them in the final, at least Quinn is coming with me for Matty.”

Quinn sighed, “Fine! If it’s the Stars and Panthers in the final, I’ll go with you to every game for Matthew!”

“Yay!”

Gli uomini che amano

“Il mio dolce marito, John, e io, eravamo sposati da quarantasei anni. Ogni giorno di San Valentino lui era solito mandarmi i più bei fiori con un biglietto con cinque semplici parole: ‘Il mio amore per te cresce’. Quattro figli, quarantasei bouquets e una vita d’amore furono l’eredità che mi lasciò quando morì due anni fa.

Il mio primo San Valentino sola, dieci mesi dopo averlo perso, fui scioccata nel ricevere un meraviglioso bouquet indirizzato a me… da John. Arrabbiata e con il cuore spezzato, chiamai il fiorista dicendo che c’era stato un errore. Il fiorista replicò: ‘No, madame, non è un errore. Prima che morisse, suo marito pagò per molti anni e chiese a noi di garantirgli che questi bouquet le sarebbero stati regalati ogni giorno a San Valentino.’

Con il cuore in gola, riattaccai il telefono e lessi il biglietto.

Diceva: ’Il mio amore per te è eterno”.

The Chris Johnston Show - around 50min & 55secs.

Brian Burke waited 24 hours before commenting to see if the NHL would roll back their decision to ban the pride tape. They did not.

Brian Burke told Chris Johnston that they will find the money to pay the fine for any player that decides to wear the tape.

Fuck the NHL. I hope somebody fucking sue you and fuck over all of your fucks. Not the players but the owners, the board of governors and Gary Bettman. Fuck you all.

Jurassic Park III (2001)

Dove osano gli pterodattili

E' inutile raccontare la trama di questo film. Non per una difesa snobistica di un cinema solo intellettuale, ma semplicemente per il fatto che in questo Jurassic Park III la trama non ha nessun valore né si prende la briga di averne.

In questo terzo episodio Steven Spielberg si mette da parte (rimanendo però veste di produttore esecutivo), e lascia la macchina da presa a uno dei suoi uomini fidati: quel Joe Johnston che bazzicava da anni dietro sue produzioni e che aveva già diretto film come Tesoro, mi si sono ristretti i ragazzi e Jumanji. E, diciamolo pure, il giocattolo torna a funzionare anche meglio dopo Il mondo perduto: Jurassic Park.

Se uno va a vedere un film della serie Jurassic Park, non si aspetta certo di vedere un film dal profondo contenuto artistico o psicologico, ma vuole solo vedere un film con dinosauri affamati, urlacci, morti, poco sangue, e azione.

Ed è giustissimo che sia così.

Per questo motivo la vicenda del ragazzino che si perde nell'Isla Sorna dopo un incidente col parapendio, e dei genitori miliardari che vanno a salvarlo, funge solo da pretesto per immettere i personaggi nell'ambientazione forestale (splendidamente ricreata in studio) dove verranno naturalmente attaccati dai dinosauri.

In poco più di 90 minuti assistiamo dunque a persone che scappano, persone che urlano, persone che cercano di sopravvivere e di salvare i propri cari. Ovviamente dai dinosauri (tra cui gli pterodattili, e soprattutto lo spinosauro, una versione extra-large di un t-rex), veri protagonisti del film, strepitosamente realistici, familiarmente impressionanti.

Il risultato finale è un rilassante film un po' più costoso degli altri, con un buon ritmo, tanta azione, un po' di houmor, che mostra esattamente ciò che gli spettatori-tipo della serie vogliono vedere: un film di mostri senza altre cose non siano i mostri stessi.
