Queen - It's a kind of magic
"Queen - Its a kind of magic" is the name of the tribute band that was formed to recreate the original Queen shows. They have even performed on the same bill as Queen guitarist, Brian May, who is quoted as saying, "they were brilliant."
He says the band is as "close as you can get to the real thing" and "it’s a tribute in every sense" that showcases the various stages of Queen's evolution.
Craig Pesco is the guy who is Freddie Mercury for aprox. 7 years now. I found two different articles in ABC Goldburn Murray, one is from March 2004 and the second one is pretty new, May 2006. Both is about "Queen - It's A kind of Magic" and Craig Pesco. In the first one they say that never met anyone from the group but at the second one there are even Brian May quotes about the show. :)
Anyway, tonight they are in Istanbul and I will be there to watch them. I'll write about the show afterwards. For now, here are the articles:

Metallica Frontman Says Music Is The Best Drug In The Whole World
Metallica frontman James Hetfield launched a tearful plea for rockers to resist drugs as he was awarded a special prize on Friday for helping people in the music industry receive addiction treatment. In a glittering Los Angeles ceremony the singer urged an audience of stars, including Ozzy Osbourne, Motorhead frontman Lemmy and Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, to help undo the "horrible myth" that great music must be accompanied by a wild lifestyle.
Hetfield, himself a former addict, begged for a moment of silence "for the people who didn't make it, that aren't with us, who could be and I think should be," before slamming drug culture.
He said, "To have those things attached to music, which is the best drug in the whole world, moves me like no other. And I thank God that I discovered that gift early on."
The singer was presented with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund.

Be Careful With What You Drink
Hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel
I read the articele at Reuters web site: Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.
According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.
The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.
The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.

Çok bir şey söylemeye gerek yok. Internette dolaşan Can Dündar forward'larının bir çoğu muhtemelen bur'dan alınıyor. :) Can Dündar'ın, "beyaz kağıt üzerindeki siyah harfleri yerine, siyah fon üzerindeki beyaz harflerini" tercih edenler için; köşe yazılarını ve diğer her türlü "eser"ini bulabileceğiniz, tamamlanmamış olsa da okumanın verdiği keyif yüzünden bir kaç kez okuyacağınız otobiyografisini bulabileceğiniz, kendisiyle ilgili karikatürleri görüp gülümseyebileceğiniz.

Usluydum.
Sabah bir koltuğun üzerine bırakırlar, akşam gelip oradan alırlardı.
Utanılacak kadar normaldim. Hiçbir oyuncağımı kırmadım, zil çalıp kaçmadım, Ayşegül'lerimi yırtmadım. Şimdi onları tek tek oğlum yırtıyor.
Pazar'ları Ankara'da banyo günüydü. Koca odun parçalarıyla zor yanan kazanların kaynar sularında tuğla büyüklüğünde yeşil sabunları kafama yiye yiye yıkandım.
Babamdan fiske yemedim, ama annem feci keseler ve vurdu mu çınlatırdı.
Ulus'ta Santral Bebe'den giyinirdim. 5 yaşımda teyzem beyaz puantiyeli kırmızı gömleğimin üzerine maşrapayla su dökünce ilk kez intiharı düşündüm. Sonra vazgeçtim.
