My little sister's school choir concert

Post Reply New Topic

Just what the title suggests.

It was a good concert right up until the last song. The honor chorus sang Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. I was pissed off that they cut the lines "Mama, I just killed a man/Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead"! How dare they! Who the hell cares if it's a middle school concert? Censoring a classic rock song is tantamount to hacking up Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People with a linoleum knife and burning the remains! Freddie Mercury must be spinning in his grave! I even gave my sister's choir teacher a piece of my mind about it personally. It turned into a mini-rant but even then I kept things civil.

I wasn't sure if this should go here or the music folder.

That seems strange to me too, why sing a song they "can't" sing?
Everybody knows the lines, it's just more conspicuous by it's absence.

Yes, it makes it far more conspicuous by fundamentally changing the story.

Things are kinda getting a bit out of hand here. Sorry, world, Britain; our humble apologies.
