Seventy-one

“Oh, what I’d give for a hundred years But the physical interferes Every day more Oh, my Creator What is the good of the strongest heart In a body that’s falling apart A serious flaw, I hope you know that” ~Evita, “Waltz for Eva and Che”

 Freddie Mercury didn’t want to live forever.

The quote in the image above: “I don’t have any aspirations to live to 70. I don’t want to sound morbid. I’ve lived a full life and if I’m dead tomorrow, I don’t give a damn. I’ve done it all, I really have.”

That’s the only consolation I have today. He’s not here, and he didn’t want to live to be seventy, let alone seventy-one.

Freddie may not have wanted to live in his physical body, but his legacy will live forever.

Happy Birthday, dear Freddie.
