Olympic Thread Damn it

[BITEYOASS]

I think for the next olympics, the coverage needs to be split four or five ways between the networks with packages based on ratings.

UP here in Canada we get the closing ceremonies live but I don't have time to watch so I guess I watch later tonight like everyone else...Imagine with John Lennon was nice to see...

What was the deal with Freddie and Queen during the closing ceremonies? Was it a video of him singing while Brian and Roger played?

I haven't seen it so I'm wondering what it was. The ceremony is on NBC right now but I don't know if I missed it or not

I caught bits of it from a tiki bar.. I think the spice girls were there. That's how you know it's good.

It started slow but gets better as it went, I really liked the Eric Idle bit, I don't think many country's would have skating nuns at a show like this.

The Queen bit was a video of Freddie doing some crowd participation, followed by Brian May doing the guitar solo from Brighton Rock before joining Jessie J for the classic anthem We Will Rock You.

It struck me that if he had got AIDS just a few years later he would probably been able to do it himself as the drug treatments have improved hugely.

A few niggles like George Michael doing his new single(it's a time for sticking to the big hits) but it was good enough.

Also I have to say that Roger Daltrey's voice live has stood up to time a hell of a lot better than some other singers 10 years younger than him...

Thanks Sesh! That's what I was asking. I hope that part hasn't happened yet on the replay here on NBC - George Michael just finished Freedom. I saw a post on FB by Queenonline and it was a picture of the Freddie hologram-thing in the middle of the stadium and I have got to see whatever it was that they did.

The David Bowie part Fashion is great...I am watching the NBC and it only will get better til the end...

[So this is love]

If it were me I would have had Deep Purple, Ozzy and finish with Iron Maiden Run to the fucking hills.....with Usain Bolt on screen....Good night everybody!

[DONNIEP]

The Queen bit is on right now. They should have had the image of Freddie singing We Will Rock You.

I don't know why I love Brazil and I have never ever been there...maybe one day I swear RIO is the place I'd like to be...damn! it will be amazing to see all these g-strings on Copacabana beach in 2016...

[So this is love]

Rio is worth seeing. I actually bought my wife's engagement ring there. I was at the H.Stern jewelry factory and they had some fabulous aquamarines. They mine a lot of the gems in Brazil, make the jewelry in Rio and ship it to their stores around the world. I found one set in white gold with six cut diamonds and a very dark aquamarine set in the middle. I bought it because H.Stern has a lifetime buy back policy so I wouldn't be out nothing and I figured I could sell it at a profit in the states.

When I popped the question I still had he ring so I gave it to her and it fit perfectly. It never had to be resized.

I'm into stones so South America is like a treasure trove for me. This one store in Columbia had some of the most fabulous emeralds I have ever seen but they were out of my price range. Huge and clear. You had to be Tony Montana or Pablo Escabar just to afford one.
