Freddie Mercury told the world who he was on stage—but in these pages, he tells us what he never said off it. Freddie: I Am the Show is an intimate, unapologetic first-person biography written as if Freddie himself could narrate the story of his life—with the clarity, candor, and cultural insight he rarely shared publicly. I remember once, in the early '80s, I was in New York, raiding some private collection at Sotheby’s, pretending I knew more about Indian antiquities than I did.

Czy Jolka jeszcze pamięta, a Ewka przestała już płakać? Czy kogoś w końcu skarcili za Hołdysa? I wreszcie, czy udało się zrobić prywatkę, jakiej nie przeżył nikt? To tylko kilka pytań, na które stara się odpowiedzieć Konrad Wojciechowski w książce Rock po polsku. Barwne anegdoty z życia gwiazd polskiego rocka i okolic, z czasów PRL-u i burzliwej transformacji ustrojowej, są niepokorne i niepoprawne politycznie. Czasami obrazoburcze.

In the second half of the 20th century New York was the source of new sounds, including the Greenwich Village folk scene, punk and new wave, and hip-hop. But as the end of the millennium neared, cutting-edge bands began emerging from Seattle, Austin, and London, pushing New York further from the epicenter.

In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and Lindy Morrison first met. Tracey's music career with the Marine Girls had just begun, while Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior. They became confidantes, comrades and best friends, a relationship cemented by activism and agitprop theatre, lesbian punk bands and rock 'n' roll love affairs. Morrison came to be a kind of mentor to Thorn, a strong female role model in a male dominated industry. They both faced a chauvinist music media wanting them to behave to type.
