Quote related to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' from 'A Night At The Opera'

After Bohemian Rhapsody, it was like, people were saying, “How are they gonna top this?” I mean if you go sleep at nights thinking about how you're gonna top what you did, that is gonna be your downfall, you know you've just got to say, “OK, it's done!” That's the way I look at it. I mean, music is just a big consumer thing. As far as our music is concerned, people should just listen to it and discard it and - that's what people do - wait for the next one. I don't like harping on, of course they keep coming back, you know Bohemian Rhapsody always comes back, We Are the Champions, all that was, and people have to take note of that, but I mean as far as I'm concerned, all those days are over, that era is over, that type of music is now over, and I don't wish to even think about it or write about it.

Freddie Mercury; Westwood One, 1984
