Quote related to 'It’s A Hard Life' from 'The Works'

I was never terribly fond of the [video] we did for It's a Hard Life. Freddie was dressed up as an amorous prawn. It was one of my favourite songs of his and I remember being terribly disappointed that he wanted to wear this costume, but he insisted on it. A good video can make all the difference. I remember loving R.E.M.'s Everybody Hurts, and I never really connected with them before that.
