About this deal

Jim from PennsylvaniaSeriously, some people need to unclench and quit trying to moralize the song. Jeez. IT'S JUST A SONG! The narrative in the book is recounted with some assistance from Sally’s old diary extracts, and it all adds up to being let in to see what an extraordinary life this remarkable woman has had.

She opens up about the 3 am phone calls she received and the stoned 'episodes' she encountered while on tour. However, it wasn't all chaos and craziness. Arnold also shares the luxurious lifestyle that came with the job. Ben from Nyc, MsDoes It Really matter what Mr. Mercuries sexual choices were?? He is up there with Robert Plant As a Singer and Should Be RESPECTED!!!! After the Stones and the Who, the author writes about her time managing multiple tours of Lynyrd Skynyrd, in the UK, Europe and the US. She was obviously very close to this band and her description of events leading up to the plane crash and in particular, the aftermath is moving and poignant. In her writing about Lynyrd Skynyrd, she clearly loves both the music and the people. Even given their many faults, poor behaviours and lifestyle choices ! The chapters about this band really are the heart of this book, in many ways. By late October 1966, I was learning how to play the guitar. It is now 56 years on, and I'm still playing/performing/recording/composing/teaching guitar. The music industry fascinates me and I am beyond excited to acquire this for our branch and share my thoughts. I can’t wait to read Sally’s behind the scenes stories touring with some of the most popular acts of her time. Many more thoughts and insight to follow.Liz from Someplace, CtFreddie was bi-sexual! And not all gay/ bi guys want to see random naked people on bikes . . . She owes a lot to her grandfather; Charles Arnold was a successful businessman, owner of MK Electric and the sixth richest businessman in the UK at the time, who simply did what he thought was common sense: “ That’s what I did too. I remember Heather, the wife of Roger Daltrey of the Who, once said to me: “No one has given the concert schedule to the wives before.” But to me, it was common sense, wives needed to know where their husbands were!» Ken from Yorkton, CanadaI have had it known that Brian wrote this song in "Tribute" of all of the groupies that would do "anything" to meet them. Geoff from Mumbai, India1) Why do people have to talk about Freddie's sexuality in every discussion about Queen's music? Other parts of the book cover Sally's life pre and post nannying and band management, and they're slightly less interesting than the band portions, but I wasn't bored while reading them.

Ched - from La Union, Philippinesi love freddie's and paul rodger's versions of this song... cheers! Nevertheless, I think this book will find an audience of people who are interested in not only the music of the 1960s to 1990s, but also in the lifestyles and behind-the-scenes of the music industry and tours. The book may also be an inspiration to women pursuing a career in an industry dominated by men. Stefano from Rome, ItalyI love this song for sentimental reasons. In fact, it was the first Queen song I heard on a radio in March 1979. I was only ten. Since then, Queen are among my favourite groups.With her Norland and National Nursery Examination Board she got her first job working for a famous jazz singer and actress. She sustained her lifelong love of classical music, singing with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) Chorus, and as Concert Manager for Classic FM, along with her passion for travel. This included a pioneering trip to China by train in 1973. What an absolutely fascinating read this book was. I think that, if we’re honest, most of us like to have a bird’s eye view into peoples’ lives when they are vastly different to our own, and Sally Arnold’s life was certainly different than most. Dee from Indianapolis, InWhat a fun Queen song. These guys are one of a kind, and this song goes to show you the creative abilities they possesed. This is one of those sing along songs. The author encounters many famous people in her career, mostly from the music world but also in other areas, including arts, politics and business. These anecdotes are somewhat interesting, but not particularly revealing or remarkable. Most of the musicians reputations are not enhanced by the authors description of events, attitudes and behaviour. Among the many mentioned, a couple do seem to be genuinely decent human beings. Peter Gabriel and Charlie Watts for example; these gentlemen are already well regarded due to their behaviours and activities over many years.
