I think being famous would be very difficult and compound any struggles or weakness a person has. I would never want to be famous. <br /><br />I also loved Bohemian Rhapsody (seeing your comment above). Sooo good. Queen's music was fantastic and I forgot about it until seeing the movie. My daughter and her husband added a bunch of their songs on the playlist and we listened to them over and over for a while whenever we got together for dinners last summer.
