We're having a Wilde time

I mean just look at Jim's face😂😂😂😂

“I met him in 1978 when I was 18 and twice in 1979. He was so laid back and lovely. Sweet and funny. He never stopped smiling. I only wish I’d got photos but no one had a camera. We didn’t take them to shows then as cameras were often confiscated.”

“I was invited to a Queen backstage get together in 1978 in Stafford, UK then the next year stayed in the same hotel in Liverpool by chance. They invited my friend and I to a nightclub party.”

“We hugged and shook hands. He was with Dominique first time. She wasn’t bothered he talked to fans. She was cool. I liked her. She wore a pink cobweb mohair jumper and pink satin jeans. Strange as I had a pink fluffy jumper and pink canvas jeans.”

“I did get autographs from Roger, Brian and John. Freddie wouldn’t sign anything that night but he did speak to me! He had had an argument with his partner and didn’t want to talk to fans or sign anything, but he smacked my behind as I walked nearby with some gladioli and said good evening!”

“Brian very charming. I took him a little velvet coin bag full of sixpences. I got him a drink from the bar (half a lager!) and John was as sweet and funny as could be. All superb guys.”

i have so many of these in my brain the only thing that dictates whether or not it becomes a comic is whether or not i feel like drawing that day
