My wife grew up in Eastern Washington.

While watching this video of "We Will Rock You" (thanks Other Matthew), I was reminded of a conversation we'd had, many years ago, while listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the car:

Wife: I wonder why they called themselves "Queen."

Me: I dunno. Because the lead singer was a queen, maybe?

Wife: Freddy Mercury was gay?

Me: Yes, of course.

{Pause}

Wife: That's can't be right. The kids in Spokane loved Freddy Mercury.
