Oh, you naysayers lurking out there, do I have a treat for you. Those of you who have not come to believe in the power and peace that comes from getting in touch with your own Inner Freddie Mercury will be surprised to see today's Inner Freddie Mercury testimonial. It comes from none other than Chris Rock himself in this article from the Australia Herald Sun.
The article begins: "CHRIS Rock is one of the world's most successful comics. Now he says the secret to stand-up in front of 15,000 people is to channel the inner Freddie Mercury." That's the part that really caught my eye.
When asked about it during the interview, Rock was asked the following question and gave the response beneath it:
"You played to 15,000 people at London's O2 Arena recently. How does a single comedian hold a crowd of that size?"
"You gotta Freddie Mercury it. What would Freddie Mercury do? Freddie Mercury would play the last seat in his day. He puts on his yellow shirt. You can focus on a couple of people but you gotta get your Freddie on. Gotta get your Freddie on, man!"
Not only is this wise and hilarious man a mentor in releasing one's own Inner Freddie Mercury, but he also is a prophet! I might call your attention to the question he asks himself, "What would Freddie Mercury do?"
We should all follow the teachings of this wise seer. Someday he may even be sainted in the First (and Only) Tabernacle of Knowing Your Inner Freddie Mercury. What better way could there be for one to diligently work to reveal one's own Inner Freddie Mercury than by asking oneself that single question: "What would Freddie Mercury do?" (I would suggest you may [or may not] want to refrain from asking this question if a guy is bending over in front of you.)
Not only has this movement now gone Hollywood; it's also gone international. These are indeed glorious days in which we live.
Anyone else feel like putting on a yellow shirt? In the words of the blessed prophet Chris Rock, "you gotta get your Freddie on!"

How 'bout a yellow sweater - will that work?
Who's Freddie Mercury???
I think the thing about FM is he was Freddie in front of a handful or a houseful of people. He was a genuine person all the time. Ya gotta respect that.
I knew a guy who ran a limo service in Myrtle Beach. He told me the nicest celeb that they had driven was Freddie Mercury. He also told me the biggest asshole they had driven was John Mellencamp. I guess you have to act like an asshole when your music is that shitty.
There is a lot of humor in your Freddie Mercury posts, but there is a lot of wisdom in this one as well.
I'm putting on my yellow shirt, and my yellow eyeshadow and my yellow underwear....
I need to get my inner-Freddie Mercury back!!! ASAP!!!
Go Chris Rock!
Not even Elvis showed the confidence on stage as Freddie did. Freddie Mercury COMMANDED an audience like no one else - period. He could sing to each individual person in the audience without even making eye-contact. His vocal range is unmatched - even by someone like Geddy Lee!
As a sidebar: My Mom thinks he's one of the best-looking men she's ever seen, sans the ability to eat corn on the cob through a picket fence. Freddie still rules and he does so frequently on the Batmobile's stereo system.
The Batman
Ha! ETW does not like John Mellencamp. I started not liking him when he started changing his name.
John Cougar >> John Mellencamp >> John Courgar Mellencamp.
Besides he sings about pink houses.
As for Freddie, he and Queen rock!
...Al...
Kenju, It's a fine fine start!
Ron, Now, I know you're joking. LOL
ETW, Sing it sister! You are wise in the ways of Mercurial Enlightenment. Neat about your friend! Sorry, John Cougar Twitchin-Asscramp was a twat.
BG, You lost your Inner Freddie Mercury!!!!! How could such a horrible thing happen? We must must must fix this ASAP.
Malach, And I salute you.
Batman, Your mother is a wise woman, and I know you are true in your walk with Fred. Twas the eyes, Batman. Twas the eyes.
Al, I'm with you on John Cougar Twitchin-Asscramp. Totally.
