Ten songs down on News of the World and only one to go after this week’s episode! There’s no Freddie. We’re Freddieless. Bereft of Fred. There is a death, an absence, verily a Freddie-sized vacuum on this song. So, the question needs to be answered, will that dickhead Randy champion or dust it??? You’re just gonna have to wait to find out I guess! We had a great little question, from our pal Dan Flett, about how hard it is to write lyrics without music or music without lyrics, a la Elton John and Bernie Taupin, so we get into that at the end of this week’s show.
If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it”Napping on the pavement” or possibly, “City boy with trumpet sleeps rough!”
Today’s episode looks at another Brian song and one that he takes lead vocals on, in that dark, bleak Freddie-less void! It’s “Sleeping on the Sidewalk” from “News of the World”!
NOTE: Skip forward to 20:30 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The song at the end of the episode is a little bit of bespoke noodling especially for this episode from the mind and fingers of The Cardinal, Randy Woods.
