Mercury References - Dire Wolf - 11-29-2004

What's up with the Freddie Mercury references? Gord made one again on Saturday in London. He's does this on occasion, but I've never been able to make out what he's saying.

The anniversary of Mercury's death just passed...I'm thinking that's the reason. There's a thread here that discusses it a bit further.

I caught The Freddie / Bohemian Rhapsody line on the Rochester recording...I don't have it handy but as I recall Gord says something about seventy days and seventy nights and then "...no one there to catch you when you fall; like Freddie Mercury, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all."

The seventy days part of it was referenced again in a review of Toronto or London, not sure which.

He mentioned him last night in Ottawa, but I totally forget what he said
