Roger Taylor’s jacket displayed in my local Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester, UK (yes I had a breakdown when I saw it today).

“Roger Taylor. Queen.

Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. This jacket was worn by Roger Taylor.”

A birthday card written by Freddie Mercury, displayed alongside Roger Taylor’s jacket in the Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester.

“Happy Birthday old man!

You’re as young as I am now!

Have fun! Lots of love

Freddie

Me logging into Tumblr a few minutes later:

— I ship you with Peter Quill I can see the two of you having date nights where you’d watch like 3 different 80s movies in a row! The Breakfast Club isn’t Peters favorite but he loves to see how happy the movie makes you so he doesn’t mind watching it often. Peter loved that you understood nearly every single reference that he made to all the older movies you both watched. He’d make the same joke 100 times and annoy the rest of the guardians. He didn’t care. He just loved your laugh.Peter would put a piano on the ship so that you can play it whenever you wanted to. He felt pure bliss whenever you played for him. He noticed that you tended to play more often when you missed your midgardian home so he would know when you were emotionally done with a mission. Quill has been through a lot too and is beyond grateful to have met someone like you that is so willing to just let him vent when he needs to.
