Bicycle Race

My bike was stolen from underneath my building. I was irritated and then really angry. My bike was locked up well and inside my building in the open garage. So some jerk took the time to cut through my lock while just hanging out in the garage. And I still haven’t told the padres. “Oh hey Dad, you know that nice bike of yours that we had refurbished and you let me take to school?... Gone.” I’m not really interested in telling them, but I’ll have to get around to it.

News of the day!: QUEEN is coming out with a new album. Yes it’s been known for a while that with the help of Paul Rogers, lead singer from Bad Company, they’d be releasing an album, but today I got to read an article on the subject in British magazine MOJO. It’s only going to include two of the original members of the band, Brian May and Roger Taylor (the bassist is “retired”).

I have mixed emotions on this. Queen in its original incarnation is a moderate obsession of mine, so how to sort out this new form? Well all four member of the band used to be involved in song writing and the two remaining actually wrote some of my favorites. Also Queen, by nature, is a love of mine because of the way they re-invented themselves each album. So there’s great potential for fantastic new music but also for a change that obliterates the energetic verve of their past style of music. I have hope, but I’m going to remain respectfully doubtful until I can listen to the tracks myself.
