Rock. The eff. On.

It's the night before the Meadowlands gig, and I'm here with JSCLutheran, fellow Queen fan, in the Albany apartment, playing Queen rarities and generally being overexcited about said gig tomorrow night. I suppose we will tailgate, find a disposable grill and make meat dishes, and I will take pictures of fellow Queeniacs. I've had a little too much Pinot Noir, [morning after note: so much so, evidently, I spelled it with initial caps; I'll stet it to chronicle my buzzedness] and not enough pasta dishes.

Normally here on my News page, I do not "blog." Tonight, dear readers, I will make an exception. Deep Image Poet Christopher Connelly is here, Eric my Best Man will be in Jersey to meet us in parking lot 21 or 22, Maze is along of course, and I am beside myself in happiness to see Brian and Roger rock the eff on. I will report in a few days about my life-changing--or -affirming--experience. Meantime, rock the eff on.

Found on eBay: Freddie Mercury's Rolls Royce.

It's a 1974 Silver Shadow Rolls Royce, yadda yadda yadda. But here's the real bonus: it comes with the "Kleenex Mansize Tissues box that Freddie kept in the car and is complete with the remaining (unused!!) tissues." The listing comes complete with a photo with said Mansize Tissues:

For those of you, like me, who may not be able to afford the Rolls, some enterprising eBayer has put up for sale--you guessed it--Kleenex Mansize Tissues. This vendor is selling the boxes half-used and "a bit squashed" so as to be "just like the one's in Freddie Mercury's Roll's Royce."

According to the Rolls' eBay listing, the owner is Freddie's sister (Jeri Bulsara, not specified), and the seller is a third party. I'm actually thinking about bidding on one of the Rolls' seller's items he or she has bought in the past: Somersets Ez-shave Shaving Oil, (BuyItNow price: GBP 2o), an "E-Cloth cleaning system 5 pack - 4 Gen Purpose/ 1 glass" (BuyItNow price: GBP 13.99), and a copy of Phillip Pullman's The Subtle Knife in "fantastic condition" (winning bid: GBP 2.93; good catch, loretta0708!). I believe the politically correct term for this genre of book would be "speculative condition."
