May 2026 - Toronto ON


LOVE LOVE LOVE Queen and their songs.

"Radio Ga Ga"

Radio.

Radio.

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio


Franz Josef New Zealand




You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.
Radio.


Madrid Spain






So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.




Whitehorse Yukon






All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!




New York City NY





We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.


Edmonton AB



Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual


Toronto ON






You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.

Appropriate that I only spotted this on this Good Friday morning.
Almudena Cathedral - standing on the balcony with our backs to the Palace across the square. You can see the Palace and me at the bottom.

Another one from the breakfast room at our hotel that had song lyrics painted on the wall. Last week's tune.

Before we left home we saw the movie and it was fabulous!




When we saw a Beatle tribute band here in Mazatlan earlier this month, this little guy came on between acts.
