me: that‘s the man i actually wanted to have kids with
me: *stares at the random guy i have kids with*
kids: and why didn‘t you just marry him instead of dad?
me: be lived in an other decade
kids: then who is he?
me: *sobbing* Rogah Taylah, da drummah of kween *runs away, crying*
(i suddenly got the idea for this in the middle of the night lmao)

Wait I just read that the favourite book of Roger Taylor's, Queen's drummer, famous for looking great in drag due to being a pretty boy and for writing a weirdly sexual? romantic? song about his car, is On The Road by Jack Kerouac. This can't be right. No. Has he seen- Surely not. Right?

I love how even though all of Queen have British accents, whenever we’re typing out verbal quotes, we type Freddie, Brian, and John normally but with Roger all of a sudden the er’s become ah’s
“I’m Freddie Mercury and I’m the lead singER of Queen”
“I’m RogAH TaylAH and I’m the drummAH and one of the singAHs of Queen”

I discovered your blog recently and I'm so happy that a) you're posting again and b) you're writing john deacon fanfiction. Deaky is so underrated and you're doing him more than justice in 64 Oslo Square (the rogah taylah fics are fire as well tho).
So thank you so much for your service🫡 and I'm so excited for more Deaky and Roger stuff❤️
Oh and just a small question: not to sound rude or impatient but approximately, when do you think chapter 7 of 64 Oslo is gonna come out?👀 asking for a friend

Day 23: Tenement Funster from Sheer Heart Attack
Rogah Taylah!
Okay, I have to say, this could very well be in my top two of Roger Taylor songs. Well, we’ll see as we go along, but this one just is so freaking good.
This is, in my opinion, but what do I know, very autobiographical of our lovely blond drummer. Who is he if not THE tenement funster. He was the little charming shithead of the neighborhood who could charm the pants off of people but also worry the balls off of them in the process. He was the doe-eyed, blond cherub who had a sharp mind and fiery wit. His poor mother!
This song starts so freaking good, too, and it gives some sort of dark, or rebellious tone from the jump. Roger’s lyrics start, daring you to say anything about it. This is where the charming little ‘tenement funster’ is now an adolescent and he’s having lots of thoughts and challenging authority for the first time.
“My new purple shoes, been amazing the people next door. And my rock and roll 45s been enraging the folks on the lower floor.”
This is youth in rebellion. This is ‘we are young, the world is ours, watch out.’
“I got a way with the girls on my block, try my best be a real individual.”
He’s popular with the ladies, and it’s easy for him…but he’s craving more that his small town, or his small tenement, can offer.
“Give me a good guitar. And you can say that my hair’s a disgrace. Oh, just find me an old car. I’ll make the speed of light out of this place.”
This guy will take your bullshit, as long as you let him rock. He’ll take it only so long, though…until he’s able to get the fuck out. Then, you’ll never hear from him again.
“I like the good things in life. But most of the best things ain’t free.”
Hey, we can relate to dreaming of all the best things…but knowing that your current situation ain’t gonna provide you with those things…it’s a daunting feeling.
“It’s the same situation, just cuts like a knife, when you’re young and you’re poor and you’re crazy…” (young and you’re crazzyyy)
Here’s that hopelessness of being an adolescent with hormones raging, your heart pounding, and your soul restless, living in a small town with no power, no currency (either monetarily or otherwise) and feeling like you’re the only one who has ever felt that way in the world. Ah, the glorious turmoil of youth.
This is a brilliant song, and I think it shows just how much Roger is still getting used to the band and the sort of fame it can offer. They were still brand new rock babies at this point, just on the cusp of worldwide recognition, so he was probably still a little bit in his old headspace of being that smalltown boy. I think he carried a lot of that his whole life, tbh.
ANYWAY, enough of my two cent interpretation of Roger’s lyrics that could be utterly and totally wrong. The song itself is really a jam, and it’s got lots of unique elements and rocking riffs. Roger’s raspy voice is perfect for rock and roll, and what I love about Queen is that we get to have three very unique voices for the songs.
