QUEEN The Works (Capitol)

by J. Kordosh

To tell you the truth—a thing I’m not addicted to, by the way—I’ve been a professional liar when it comes to Queen. Even while making light of their very existence (in print), I’ve been a regular listener of their records (in real life). Do I feel small about this? Mighty small, B’wana. Why did I ever write many terrible things about this band? Because I’m a big disgrace, that’s why. So don’t look me up under “Mr. Critical Integrity,” OK?
