I was lying in my bedroom after supper, listening to my chosen Top 40 radio station (1470 CFRW\/Winnipeg) when the DJ introduced the song. He said, \u201cThere\u2019s this band from England called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com\/tag\/queen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Queen<\/a> and they have a new song called \u2018Bohemian Rhapsody.\u2019 I don\u2019t know what to make of it, but here we go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This sort of pre-selling a song is radio blasphemy.
