43 Years Ago

On 10/31/1975, the Queen single "Bohemian Rhapsody" is released in the United Kingdom by EMI Records. I was 5 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 6 days (2157 days) old. This means that tune has been available to "the world" for 15706 days and, likely, it has been played on the radio 15706 times (at least). The video has had 667,772,085 views:


However, the first time I have ever heard Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down" on the radio was yesterday on Rock 108. I'm not saying it has never been played on the radio - it's the first time I've heard it on the radio.


My earliest recollection of hearing Queen was hearing this tune at Super Skate in Cedar Rapids. I would guess it was in the early 1980s.
