An Imaginary Discussion: John Reid and Brian May
John Reid: Well, well, if it isn’t the guitar in Queen’s crown jewels, Brian May. How’s life treating you after the little “Bohemian Rhapsody” whirlwind?
Brian May: Oh, you know, John — still trying to drag the rest of the band into an era of astrophysics while they insist on playing those timeless riffs. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I’m living in a parallel universe.
John Reid: A universe where rockstars become astrophysicists? I can see it now, “The Astrophysics Tour 1986,” complete with galaxy backdrops. But hey, speaking of parallel universes, were you expecting Freddie to be, well, Freddie when you first wrote “Bohemian Rhapsody”?
Brian May: To be frank, John, we thought it was so out there that only an alien would get it. But Freddie, in his own unique Freddie way, managed to make it galactic. Quite fitting if I do say so. He always had a knack for transforming the ‘bonkers’ into the ‘brilliant’.
John Reid: True, few could pull off that combination of operatic rock and sheer crowd enchantment. But tell me, Brian, does the mega-success of “Bohemian Rhapsody” ever get, well, suffocating? Like, every time you pick up the guitar, do you feel the pressure to top it?
Brian May: You would think so, wouldn’t you? But in reality, it just spurs us on. You know, it’s not just about topping; it’s about evolving. Each album is a chapter, and with the epic saga that is Queen, you never run out of stories to tell. Speaking of chapters, overseeing our audacious ventures — how’s that for you, John? Always a challenge, I’d reckon.
John Reid: Oh, you bet. But managing Queen is like conducting a symphony of tidal waves — thrilling and just the right kind of unpredictable. But seeing you lads up there, pulling it all off, it’s worth every bit of navigating the chaos. From managing numbers to selling out Wembley, no day is the same.
Brian May: And I believe it’s that unpredictability that keeps the magic alive. On the note of magic, what do you reckon about a Queen-themed astrophysics show? We could call it “Galileo’s Gambit: Zodiac Rock Star Explorers.”
John Reid: Now that’s an idea I could get behind! Galileo would be delighted. Next up, a cosmic tour diary? Just promise no one will get lost in a black hole…
Brian May: Deal! As long as you’re there to manage the event horizon.
John Reid: In the world of rock, Brian, you’re the only one I’d trust navigating both starry skies and encore demands. Here’s to more of Queen’s stellar adventures!
