If you haven’t seen the Google Doodle for today (9/6/11), please go look now!
It’s not a secret that I love Queen and I was saddened as an 18-year old when Freddie Mercury died from complications of AIDS. A talent that the world will never see again, especially now that the music industry is more concerned with looks rather than talent.
On the Official Google Blog today, Brian May guest posts about Freddie on what would’ve been his 65th birthday. A touching memorial from the good doctor1.
I’m even more inspired to live my life as fearlessly as Freddie did. Hope you can be inspired to do the same.

I remember the day well. We were on our way home from having watched Chuck Berry in Manchester when the news came on the radio. I cried so much that day.
