Queen

This past Friday night was date night with my husband and part of that date night was going to see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. As lovers of Queen, we were more than excited to go and spend some time learning more about this iconic band and some of the highlights and low points in their life. As we went sat in the theater, we had the unfortunate experience of sitting in front of people with poor theater etiquette. They talked non-stop, rather loudly I may add, sang along to songs that, no offense, I didn't come to hear them sing, so I could of gone on without, and crazy loud laughing that didn't allow me to hear some of the following lines after a funny one. This really made me think how grateful I am for people who have proper theater etiquette because sometimes it can make or break a movie. However, nothing could break the fun and greatness of this movie. As the movie went on and more songs came on, I was hit with awe with how many hits Queen has released and how awesome and classic their music is. As my husband and I talked after the movie, I thought about how I learned these songs and how I feel important it is to know classic music. It then allowed us to discuss how it is important to us and how great a responsibility it is for us to teach our kids the classic songs and make sure they know what good music is. I have so many memories of blasting Queen songs with my friends on long drives and listening to it with my family, and even choreographing a dance to Don't Stop Me Now. Music stays with us for most of our life and I'm grateful for the reminder of how impactful this type of media is and how much I love it.
