Today - February 8th, 1975 - Queen Story!
Cleveland, OH, USA, Music Hall
'SHeer Heart Attack' tour
📸 Photographer © Janet Macoska
🔸Rock photographer Janet Macoska photographed Queen five different times as the band toured through Northeast Ohio, starting with a show Feb. 8, 1975, at Cleveland Music Hall. She says that Queen, and specifically singer Mercury, put on some of the best live performances she's ever photographed.
"Freddie Mercury was so charismatic and powerful onstage," she said. "There was no doubt that he was in command of the band, but more precisely he was in command of the audience ... As soon as he got onstage, all eyes were riveted on Freddie and he commanded your attention. That's what we got from the very beginning. We knew that."
Macoska, who has photographed rock 'n roll greats like David Bowie, The Clash and Led Zeppelin over the years, said that Queen stands out. (She even said that Mercury and Michael Jackson are the two best live stage performers she's ever seen.)
She was also at Queen's Nov. 27, 1977 concert at the Richfield Coliseum. A massive snowstorm hit during the show, causing dangerous traffic problems on the highways outside of the venue.
Once, she got to go backstage and talk with Brian May about photos she'd taken of Queen. She later met up with May when he was promoting a book in Sandusky.
However, she never got to meet Mercury, who died in 1991

Just a couple of my goofy, silly Good Omens headcanons I’d like to share with the world:
•Crowley was bored one day in 2015 and decided to fuck around with the Americans a bit. He thought it’d be funny seeing Twitler’s (Trump) name on the 2016 presidential ballot and watch us squirm at the idea of the guy becoming president.
Crowley never thought Americans would be so stupid. Imagine his shock and horror when he was proven wrong.
He watched just as dumbfounded as the rest of the world the night Twitler was actually elected, thinking to himself: ‘well, that’s a problem…’, and he never told a single soul he was responsible, even Hell would have disapproved.
•Aziraphale and Crowley have amassed so much knowledge about Earth and humanity and all of its different cultures, they actually have each obtained advanced degrees. They’ve needed things to do to pass the time, after all. Aziraphale has PhDs in ancient literature and comparative world mythology, he proofreads textbooks in addition to restoration of antique manuscripts.
Crowley has PhDs in astrophysics and mechanical engineering. He occasionally collaborates with Brian May on his research under the pseudonym C A Janton and with a different identity.
•In Queen’s video for their song “The Show Must Go On,” at 2:36 the camera focuses in on a Cleveland Browns poster for a few seconds. Because of this, Crowley has become convinced that Freddie Mercury is a diehard Browns fan and has become one himself. He has no interest in human sports, no concept of American football, he just knows Freddie was a fan of the Browns and therefore he is also a rabid follower.
What are some of your goofy, silly, sweet, funny, serious headcanons?

What was the relationship timeline of Diana and Penny and their story 🥺
It's a very long story
Diana and Penny met in 2004. They were both brand-new to the Mercury. Diana was a rookie. And Penny's previous WNBA franchise, the Cleveland Rockers, totally collapsed on her. So the winds of fate put them both in that 2004 Mercury training camp together. And they became friends immediately.
Tumblr media
Then they fell in love and lived happily ever after. Just kidding! It's not that simple.
When Diana and Penny met, Penny was engaged to Brazilian volleyball player Rodrigo Gil. Diana and Penny could only be friends. So Diana fell for Penny's Australian national teammate Lauren Jackson.
Penny married Rodrigo. And Diana and Lauren had their Moscow life together. But in Phoenix, Diana and Penny worked towards their shared professional goals. They both wanted to transform the Mercury from a losing culture into a winning culture. And they did it! But after they won their first championship together in 2007, Penny needed a break. She wanted to rest before the 2008 Olympics and go on a second honeymoon with her husband. They had only been married a few years but I guess their marriage already needed work.
In 2008, without Penny, the Mercury were completely dysfunctional. And Diana was lonely. So she asked Lauren Jackson to join the Mercury and come play with her in 2009. Diana and Lauren were attached at the hip in Moscow. It really seemed like Lauren would leave the Storm. Sue Bird even spoke to the media about that possibility. But at the very last minute, Lauren backed out and stayed in Seattle.
So at the beginning of the 2009 season, the Mercury had no Penny and no Lauren. Just Diana, Cappie, and vibes. Too much vibes. Wayyy too much vibes. And that's how Diana got a DUI. She hit rock bottom. And when she hit rock bottom, Penny dropped everything, flew from Australia to Phoenix, and rejoined the Mercury mid-season. Lauren wouldn't uproot her life in Seattle to play with Diana. But Penny would uproot her life in Australia to play with her. Penny helped Diana through that season and drove her everywhere she needed to be. They spent a lot of time together. And, oh yeah, Diana won an MVP, championship, and finals MVP. It was the best season of basketball in her entire career.
By the end of that 2009 season, Diana and Penny had definitely gone from friends to lovers. Maybe Diana and Lauren's relationship had run its course by then. But Penny was definitely still married when she got with Diana. Oops. Messy. Oh well. They fell in love, got a dog, bought a house together and lived happily ever after.
Tumblr media
Actually, from 2009-2014 they went through constant traumatic ordeals in their personal and professional lives. Shabtai's murder, Cappie leaving Phoenix, nasty feud with Lauren, false-positive doping scandal that almost banned Diana from basketball, Penny tearing her ACL, both of Penny's parents dying of cancer. It was a lot. But they still managed to win their third championship together in 2014.
In 2015, they took the WNBA season off together. In 2016, they got engaged. And in 2017, they got married. Penny gave birth to Leo in 2018 and Isla in 2021. And now they have a loving family life together and it's very cute 🥺
