How To Listen

Letters to Dead People.

(from letters to dead people – a really neat site that I hope you check out.)

Freddie really had it all. Range, tone, songwriting skills, a 5 foot vertical leap,

the ability to record this without laughing uncontrollably:

How Can I Go On

and, of course, the world’s most famous moustache:

To be serious for a moment, Freddie was truly one of the best male rock singers who have ever lived. That is not up for debate. It is a shame he died too young. The “new” Queen album is a travesty. Freddie was Queen. I wish Brian May and the rest would simply realize that and do other things. and not degrade the Queen moniker any further. May has enough talent to do literally anything he wants to except revive his old band.

Live Transmission Drawings by Morgan O’Hara

O’Hara tracks the movement of the hands of people engaged in life activity. Essential vitality is caught and rendered visible on the page. Live Transmissions are drawn with both hands and with two or more pencils: people talking, working, dancing, reciting poetry, playing music, giving birth, repairing shoes, practicing martial arts.
