Однажды Фредди Меркьюри сказал: `Я не стремлюсь изменить мир с помощью нашей музыки. Мне нравится сочинять песни для развлечения, для потребления в современном духе. Публика может выбрасывать их, как использованные салфетки. Прослушал - понравилось - выбросил, потом бери следующую. Одноразовый поп? Да!`. Но тем не менее `Queen` все-таки изменили нашу жизнь, наполнив ее светом и энергией своей незабываемой...

In this hilarious romp through England, one of America`s pre-eminent humourists seeks the answer to an eternal question: what makes the Brits tick? One semi-tropical Fourth of July, Joe Queenan’s English wife suggested that the family might like a chicken tikka masala in lieu of the customary barbecue. It was this pitiless act of gastronomic cultural oppression, coupled with the dread of the fearsome Christmas pudding that awaited him for dessert, that inspired the author to make a solitary pilgrimage to Great Britain. Freed from the obligation to visit an unending procession of Auntie Margarets and Cousin Robins, as he had done for the first twenty-five years of his marriage, Queenan decided that he would not come back from Albion...
