Detail from the World Cup 2006 opening program.

Or course they left Queen for the finale.

You know why?

Because Queen are the greatest fricking rock band in the world, bar none. You think they'd be playing "A Day in the Life" or "Jumpin' Jack Flash" for the finale, with the whole world? Na. I don't think so. You think Placido Domingo has even heard of Radiohead? Na. There can be only one international uberband and Queen, brothers and sisters, is that band.

My only question is: Why no songwriting credit in the program? What, Elgar, Strauss, et al. get one, and not Mercury/Queen? Perhaps the programmers assume that the audience will know that one, and only that one, and not, like, Sohn und Wagner.
