    Dziękuję, David Taylor, za piękny film z ekspozycji poprzedzającej wyprzedaż pamiątek po Freddie Mercury. Zawładnęły mną emocje, także te trudne. Freddie był wielkim i wyjątkowym artystą; potrafił wybrać piękne I cenne przedmioty kolekcjonerskie i zaaranżować je w przestrzeni swojego domu w Garden Lodge. Miał piękną duszę! O ile sprzedaż przedmiotów kolekcjonerskich można jeszcze jakoś wytłumaczyć, to w żaden sposób nie da się wytłumaczyć sprzedaży pamiątek osobistych po Freddie Mercury; zapisu tekstów utworów i ich linii melodycznych, różnych notatek, pianina przy którym tworzył, strojów scenicznych, złotych płyt... Pamiątki osobiste po artyście powinny znaleźć swoje miejsce w muzeum np. w Montreux. Mary Austin, niestety, rozmontowała wszystko!

      There is a Queen museum at the studio in Montreaux. Let's not forget Freddie was one quarter of a fantastic band, and remained so till the day he died. He was not a solo artist although he did solo work as they all did. Queen productions may buy some of the Queen related items, 19:24 goodness knows they have enough money

    Everyone should dry their eyes! Someone took precious care of these items 35,000 items in all that has been divided into 1500 lots for 32 years. Instead of everyone being thankful that they were well taken care of all that time and that everyone can see the items albeit for a short period of time everyone is carrying on. Well I'd like to see them do as well and keep these beautiful objects pristine condition for 30+ yrs. Maybe some of these items should be in a museum, his costumes, his songs, maybe the piano and maybe that's where they will end up. But the beautiful antique furnishings, his artwork, his collection of crystal and China and lamps and figurines should be in a home where they will be cherished and loved the way Freddie did.

      Freddie Mercury never wanted to be "stared at" in a museum. He didn't want a public grave. We should all stick to that. Museum means standing still, looking back, something that always went against the grain. His music was public and that's enough. Do we need the poet's pen to enjoy his work? Do the grave goods make Tutankhamun a powerful pharaoh? The pharaoh was and remains an unimportant link in the chain of Egypt's rulers. Freddie Mercury needs no such help, his work will be remembered.
