March 1964 - Farrokh Bulsara with his family fled the Zanzibar Revolution, moving to Middlesex, England

🔸Freddie’s parents, Jer and Bomi Bulsara, chose Feltham as Jer already had a sister living in the area and the family moved into number 22 Gladstone Avenue in autumn 1964. Seventeen year old Freddie took an A-level in art at Isleworth Polytechnic followed by a Diploma in Graphic Art and Design at Ealing College of Art, supporting himself with a variety of jobs, including washing dishes in the kitchens at nearby Heathrow Airport. It was while studying at Ealing that Freddie met future Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

Kashmira recalls how while living on Gladstone Avenue, her brother was always sketching for his college art work – sometimes calling on her to model for him – or tapping his fingers and humming as if thinking of his next song. A natural musician, Gladstone Avenue was where Freddie really began to explore his musical talent, listening to the likes of Cream and his hero, Jimi Hendrix in his bedroom at the back of the house; there is a 1968 photograph of Freddie in his bedroom posing in the manner of Hendrix with a borrowed Fender Stratocaster. Kashmira also remembers how he loved watching Tom & Jerry cartoons and collecting cuttings of Andy Capp comic strips from the daily newspaper and how he spent hours grooming his hair – much to her annoyance as the house had only one bathroom.

Dr Brian May said: It was here that I first visited Freddie soon after we had met through a mutual friend. We spent most of the day appreciating and analysing in intimate detail the way that Jimi Hendrix had put his recordings together in the studio - listening to Hendrix on vinyl played on Freddie's Dansette record player - which had stereo speakers on opposite sides of the box! Feltham was the childhood neighbourhood for both of us but we never knew it until we met in the cause of music.”

Soundtrack for a Vietnam War AU

This whole thing originally started off with just Sledgefu-related songs (see list under the cut), but then I got stuck on the idea of a more general HBO War Vietnam War AU, and it started growing and growing to include a selection of popular songs and anti-war songs from the era.

Songs spanning from early 1960s-1970

Works best in order (songs arranged to minimize jarring vibe changes)

Pairs well with a blue million miles and other Vietnam War AU works by @getmean!

Sledgefu-Specific Songs

The above playlist could work with pretty much any ship from HBO War in a Vietnam War AU, but these are the ones that I chose particularly for Sledgefu themes.

Also, there were too many to type out out, so I made a separate playlist

#this was originally like 10 hours lol i had to cut it down A LOT #esp. the songs that had like 3 minute keyboard solos and stuff and the songs that may be iconic but that i just didn't particularly like #also i'm also making a sledgefu dirty dancing AU fanmix and i didnt want to have TOO much overlap so the selection leans towards 1964 onwar #also just to be absolutely clear this is NOT intended to romanticize the Vietnam War in any way #it should never have happened and was fucking terrible #sledgefu #the pacific #eugene sledge #merriell shelton #snafu shelton #hbo the pacific #hbo war #mine: fanmix #if you haven't read a blue million miles yet go do it NOW #if you dont have time to commit to it tho (worth it) getmean also has a different vietnam-era sledgefu work thats more shorter and more PWP

normal and cool things to say . specifically normal and cool things to say just moments after said prince has forced you to give him your mistress which drives her to suicide which makes him come crawling back to you complaining about said suicide and also complaining about how you hate him now and also demanding to sleep in your bed with you beside him because he feels so lonely and scared and wretched.

#yes i watched becket the film and became crazy yes i then bought the play yes i underlined a lot of things and yes i may even annotate it..!#to be honest evil men yaoi aside its making me want to forage into medieval history in general a little bit ...#becket #becket 1964 #there are some differences between the play and the film which made me go ! ill make more posts when im not tired #also hi to the miniscule number of people checking the becket tags. 👋👋👋

Q: Aug. 26 will be your first time in Asbury Park in 15 years. How are you feeling about getting back to the city, and do you have any particularly fond memories of playing the city in the past?

A: Are you kidding me? I can’t wait to get back there! Those were great times for me. You know I came back east in '74 and really needed to make music. People may not know it, but I never wanted to leave rock 'n' roll.

Let me tell you (a) little story of how I got to Asbury Park in the first place. I am walking down the street in New York City, mid-'70s and I hear this voice yell out, “Hey Ronnie, Ronnie Ronette,” so I turn around and it’s John Lennon. I actually met John the first night we landed in the U.K. in January '64. Anyway, John asked me how am I doing, and I tell him, "Not good, I need to make music." John said he was busy being a house husband taking care of his son, but introduced me to his engineer, Jimmy Iovine (Walls and Bridges).

That night, Jimmy invited me down to the Record Plant where he was working with a band from Jersey. When I walked into the studio, I met Little Steven (Van Zandt), who was producing Southside Johnny. And (Bruce) Springsteen was there, too, and right on spot Bruce re-wrote a song for me and Johnny to sing as a duet, “You Mean So Much to Me Baby.” They were all excited when I showed up, and more excited when I started to sing. I was surprised they knew me.

After that I started hanging out in Asbury Park with the guys, doing shows at the Stone Pony and all over the place. The second part of my career really started in Asbury Park. Those guys treated me like a sister and really helped me get back to what I loved doing, rock 'n' roll. They always looked out for me, and would never let me get into any trouble!

Q: Forty years ago, you partnered with the E Street Band for “Say Goodbye to Hollywood.” What are your memories of working with the band on that classic single?

A: I was going back and forth to L.A., so the times in the studio with Bruce and the boys were great. The times in L.A. were very difficult for me. Everyone was working hard to find the right song for us to record. And of course Billy Joel, who wrote "Hollywood," used to open up for the Ronettes on Long Island in the '60s when he was in the Hassles.

I also loved the ‘B’ side which Little Steven wrote for me. Those guys were like big brothers to me. It’s the only record outside of their work with Bruce where they are credited as the E Street Band. I look back and really appreciate those days. Not one memory, lots and lots of them, so much fun and a sense of freedom for me which I desperately needed. The guys were great and exactly what I needed at that moment in my life.

From Ronnie Spector's Interview in Asbury Park Press (August 22, 2017)

From Billboard Magazine (July 16, 1977)

#when john ran into ronnie and gave her the assist she needed to get back in the game #ronnie spector #john lennon #e street band #jimmy iovine #steven van zandt #john stories #timeline puts it after walls and bridges (1974) and born to run (1975) so after his break with phil spector #bruce springsteen #the ronettes #1976 #the dakota years #mine #her book says it was 1976 and that sounds about right #she escapes phil spector in 1972 divorces in 1974 #do you believe she only got 25000 off the guy and he kept up withholding royalties into the 00s #photos: ronettes with george (1964); ronnie with john in LA (1974?); ronnie with the e street band (1977)#in conclusion always help make connections between friends #you never know how many careers you may save

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - A, LM 2.1.4 (Les Miserables 1958)

It is almost superfluous here to sketch the appearance of Napoleon on horseback, glass in hand, upon the heights of Rossomme, at daybreak, on June 18, 1815. All the world has seen him before we can show him. That calm profile under the little three-cornered hat of the school of Brienne, that green uniform, the white revers concealing the star of the Legion of Honor, his great coat hiding his epaulets, the corner of red ribbon peeping from beneath his vest, his leather trousers, the white horse with the saddle-cloth of purple velvet bearing on the corners crowned N’s and eagles, Hessian boots over silk stockings, silver spurs, the sword of Marengo,—that whole figure of the last of the Cæsars is present to all imaginations, saluted with acclamations by some, severely regarded by others.

That figure stood for a long time wholly in the light; this arose from a certain legendary dimness evolved by the majority of heroes, and which always veils the truth for a longer or shorter time; but to-day history and daylight have arrived.

5 May 1964

While ostensibly on vacation in Tahiti and lacking for reading material, John Lennon discovers that every Sherlock Holmes story "was the same," and within three weeks will have written the Shamrock Wolmbs section of A Spaniard in the Works.
