First off, I am "anomymous," not because I was trying to be mysterious, but only 'cuz I forgot to type in my name before sending, and the program automatically puts in that designation. Oops!
I love Queen's music, everything from "We are the Champions" to "Bohemion Rhapsody"- those guys were great! And they were probably one of the most highly educated rock bands of the century.
I hadn't heard that lyric before, but that's very interesting. I suspect that both the band MTH and the Queen lyric, refer back to the original book.
I actually talked, on line, to a British fellow who knew the author of MTH personally, and he said he could get me a copy of the book for 10 bucks. I got busy and neglected to follow up. Stupid me! I'm going to track him down again and get a copy--I'll let you know when I find it.
But apperantly this Hoople guy, in a way, was the original Andy Kaufman.
