So, when Mercury died, they suddenly turned Queen into this beloved, venerated cultural icon, and they just had never been that. People had moved on and Queen was pretty widely seen a cheesy, outdated, and irrelevant relic of the 1970s... until Mercury died at the perfect time for the 49 percent of the population who are drooling idiots to use him to make a point against Reagan.

That’s how I remember them too. Even the Live Aid performance has been lauded by revisionist history.

You know Freddie Mercury died in 1991, right? Reagan had been out of office for three years.
