  9. Richard Franklin – „Truck Driver · Gejagt von einem Serienkiller“ (1981)

    Was immer der deutsche Filmverleih sich gedacht haben mag, den ursprünglich genialen Filmtitel „Road Games“ zu übersetzen und „Truck Driver – Gejagt von einem Serienkiller“ daraus zu machen, ist mir ein Rätsel. Doch der miese Titel sollte Sie wirklich nicht davon abhalten, diesen australischen Thriller aus den ganz frühen 80ern zu feiern. Mit Stacy Keach und Jamie Lee Curtis. (ARD, Wh.)

  10. The Works

    Released February 28, 1984 .. they quasi "come-back" album. After the experimental, dance-heavy Hot Space (1982), the album marked a return to their classic hard rock sound with 1980s synthesizers and electronics. The name originated from a comment by Roger Taylor at the start of the sessions: "Let's give 'them'em the works!" #queen #theworks #80srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #freddiemercury #brianmay #rogertaylor #johndeacon

  11. Queen
    "A nice little medley for you":
    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Killer Queen
    March of the Black Queen
    Bohemian Rhapsody

    Exactly fifty years and two days ago
    (A Night at the Odeon, 1975-12-24).

    In those days Freddie Mercury still announced the name of the song.

    At any time an invitation you can't decline
    ...
    To avoid complications,
    She never kept the same address.
    In conversations,
    She spoke just like a baroness.

    And Nobody Played Synthesizers!

  16. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? "Bohemian Rhapsody" got its first radio play almost 50 years ago. @RollingStone spoke with Brian May and Roger Taylor about how Queen's biggest song was made, what Freddie Mercury's famous lyrics mean, and the late singer's enduring presence in their lives. “Brian and I often think he’s in the room in the corner,” says Taylor. “’Cause we know exactly what he’d say and what he’d think. Even though it was all those years ago now that we lost him.”
