My work for @55yearsofmaylor
Tumblr media
A bit of context:
Roger comes from Cornwall, the land of Arthurian legend and mischievous pixies, and Brian has always been sceptical of this.
Until 1970, when he opens his eyes, he doesn't know where he is. A minute ago, he was standing backstage at the gig that Roger's mother had prepared in Cornwall, arguing with him over a few drum beats that he thought Roger had played incorrectly. And now he woke up, with moss-covered stone walls and plants all around him. And suddenly a message appeared before his eyes: a picture. Appearing in the picture is Roger in ancient clothes, looking older than the Roger Brian had just argued with. Below there are words encrusted in gold: "He was chosen to become The Once and Future Drummer".
Roger gets better every day, gradually becoming the master of drumming. From that day on, during their 55 years together, Brian never had to question Roger's qualifications again.

A series of gas explosions killed a teenager, injured at least 10 other people and ignited fires in at least 39 homes in three communities near Boston on Thursday, forcing entire neighbourhoods to evacuate as crews scrambled to fight the flames and shut off the gas. Authorities named the dead teenager as Leonel Rondon, 18, of Lawrence, died after a chimney toppled by an exploding house crashed into his car.  Live TV images showed firefighters battling blazes in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, about 25 miles (40 km) north of the US city. The streets were darkened where authorities had cut off electricity and were shutting down gas service in an effort to stop further blazes. "It looked like Armageddon, it really did," said Michael Mansfield, Andover fire chief. "There were billows of smoke coming from Lawrence behind me. I could see pillars of smoke in front of me from the town of Andover." Flames consume a home in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston Credit: WCVB Firefighters battle another house on fire, on Herrick Road in North Andover Credit: Mary Schwalm At least three people, including one firefighter, were hurt in Andover, the town said in a statement. Six people were being treated at Lawrence General Hospital, said spokeswoman Jill McDonald Halsey. It was not immediately clear if any of those being treated at that hospital were from Andover. Massachusetts State Police said a total of 70 fires, explosions or investigations of gas odor had been reported. Authorities said nothing to indicate any foul play was suspected. The first explosion was triggered by an overpressurised gas line, Boston's WBZ News reported. Emergency crews respond to a series of gas explosions that have damaged homes across three communities north of Boston Credit:  WCVB North Andover resident Laurie Williams, 55, said she drove home from work to find police and fire vehicles blocking streets near her home, and learned three buildings nearby were on fire. "It was very scary," Williams said, with smoke visible on the skyline. "My first thought was this is a gas explosion." The Columbia Gas company, a unit of NiSource Inc, had said earlier on Thursday that it would be upgrading gas lines in neighborhoods across the state, including the area where the explosions occurred, but it was not immediately clear whether any work was being done in those communities. MSP Fusion Center has current updated tally of responses to fires/explosions/investigations of gas odor at 70. Spread over wide swath of south #Lawrence and northern part of #NorthAndover with several others across Merrimack River in north Lawrence. pic.twitter.com/a7kBYaWFrJ— Mass State Police (@MassStatePolice) September 13, 2018 "Columbia Gas is investigating what happened on its system today," said Ken Stammen, a spokesman for NiSource. The US Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) said it was dispatching a team to support the state's emergency response efforts, an agency spokesperson said on Thursday. Local media outlets' Twitter feeds were filled with images of homes in flames or collapsed. Fire trucks race to fight dozens of fires Credit: AP "We are asking everybody with gas in their homes to leave their homes until further notice," North Andover town manager Andrew Maylor told one local television station. Dan Rivera, mayor of Lawrence, told WBZ: "What we know is that there are have been multiple explosions, multiple fires that are happening across the city." He said residents detecting strange odors should leave their homes. State police urged residents served by Columbia Gas to evacuate their homes, saying the utility was cutting pressure to its lines and that it would take "some time" to shut off all service.

Maylor55: fifty-five years of the best brothers brothering and bickering like an old married couple, can’t live with him can’t live without him, pair of bandmates ever to band.
Sliding Doors: After the 90s Gwynneth Paltrow movie. It’s such a random coincidence that Les Brown saw Brian’s notice advertising for a drummer and mentioned it to Roger. What if he hadn’t seen the notice? What if he hadn’t mentioned it to Roger? Would the fates still have aligned to bring them together? Or would an astrophysicist and a dentist once have sat randomly side by side in the stands at Live Aid and felt a strange frisson?
O brother where art thou?
First time 
“Cast adrift amongst the stars/I float from sun to sun”
“his partner in Edwardian scarves” the Liverpool Echo about Freddie and Roger 
#Smiliversary: Fifty-five years since Brian and Tim placed an advert for a ‘Mitch Mitchell-type’ drummer on a noticeboard and Roger blew Brian’s mind by tuning the drums.
Age difference: there are only a few years between Brian and Roger, but the difference between a fresher just up from the provinces and a graduate student from London is massive…

#Meetiversary: again it doesn’t look like there is an exact date but Brian and Roger had definitely met Freddie within a few weeks of Roger joining Smile.
