    No I think we all got that right away, but then the thread went in a more interesting direction.

    What I don't think you get is that the "C" in "PC" already stands for "Correct."

    So your thread title reads "this is pretty messed up & not very politically correct correct if you ask me."

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    I don't think Queen ever had any homophobic listeners. Everyone knew Freddie was gay, and I don't think anybody cared. Besides, I think Queen is one of those bands that you either love them or just don't like them at all. Therefore, the homophobic thing doesn't really fit in to people liking Queen or not liking them.

    Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.

    I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

    No kidding, I'm talking about the radio station listeners.
    It's probably clear chanel



    Do you think it's pc to chang lyrics so they don't offend a homophobic audience?

    The pc thing to do would have been nothing, not change them at all.

    Absolutely nothing, if this is the post that you wrote.

    But if this post had been reworded by someone else; it would not be your original message.

    I thought some of you might be concerned with the backdoor methods used by whoever. You canbe certain that Queen sighned something allowing them to do that in order to get the song any airplay

    What homosexuals do in their bedroom is their own business.

    Doesn't the Queen just use a wax stamp?

    Thank you.

    I'm still trying to figure out what you're hearing. There aren't any "lyric changes" that I can perceive. What the hell are you talking about and what the hell does it have to do with ANYTHING?
