OLYMPIC CLOSING

Everybody has different opinions about the closing ceremonies, particularly the music which was explained to Canadian TV viewers as a pick of the 30 best songs of Britain. Off to a wonderful start with the first part of Bohemian Rhapsody leading into the full length Imagine! After that it was all downhill :-( The mix of Bowie songs was very poorly done and not anywhere near long enough. The only other highlights were 'Wish You Were Here', 'I Am a Walrus', and 'We Will Rock You' actually performed by Queen on Stage. The rest: not musical, no memorable tunes (except for Pinball Wizard which I'm very tired of hearing). No wonder I rarely get excited or even interested in Olympic ceremonies. England has many great musicians; few were given tribute tonight. Pity.
