Alright, I'm convinced this is a sign. Somebody give him a bell cause we wuppin the Gumps.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Freddie Mercury actually played the cowbell on the 1977 Queen track "Who Needs You". [1]



Written by bassist John Deacon for the News of the World album, the tropical, Spanish-flavored acoustic song features a unique division of percussion labor: lead guitarist Brian May shakes the maracas while Freddie Mercury handles the cowbell. [1, 2]


But I could not find a pic.

Looks like he's taking in one of our national parks on the way up.

 

[Shmuley]

Bless his heart. He's on the trace. Get comfortable, Freddy.

 

[KaizenMuse]

I used to live at that intersection. Glad they're having a good time. Looks like a nice drive up

Question:

Are the Germans bombing Ross Barnett?

 

[She Mate Me]

I see the school reached out to him in the comments and by DM. I think he’s heading to a festival in Alabama this weekend.

I understand them taking the trace being tourists and all. However, 25 is a nice drive too.

If you’re not in a hurry then the Trace is a much nicer drive.

Somebody should get him to stay long enough to watch the game Saturday. . . . .He loves American football from all accounts. . . . .

Only a small non-zero risk of a dead pine tree deciding to fall on your car.

I see im not the only one with my head on a swivel for that. Bonus is you get both deer and trees at night.

It is a very real thing.

I don't drive on the Trace at night outside of Clinton-to-Ridgeland. I came back from Starkville between Hwy 43 and Ridgeland one night after a game when it was raining, and I couldn't see the lines on the road, and was terrified I was going to hit a deer and go into the Reservoir.

Since the big pine tree kill two or three years ago, I don't drive on the Trace anywhere in windy weather.

It’s a risk, but I have a feeling it’s pretty minuscule. And those dead pine trees are near a lot of roads that aren’t the Trace as well.

But driving carefully is always a good idea, especially on the Trace. No shoulder to speak of and going off the road is not gonna end well in most spots.

 

[Chile]

Yeah Freddy would love the use of our phrase Germans, and Animal House reference

Maybe he's coming to the "Rock the South" festival in Decatur. I think it may be country music.

But nonzero.

Tree falls on car on the Natchez Trace, killing one

The incident happened near Highway 43 Tuesday afternoon.

He is going to Oktoberfest in Cullman.

 

[L4Dawg]

What hilarious is that there have been Rebels all over his feed begging him to come to Oxford. Their heads are exploding right now.

I understand them taking the trace being tourists and all. However, 25 is a nice drive too.

When driving from Starkville to Texas, I end up on the Trace semi-regularly to cut around Jackson. Sometimes it sends me through Brandon, 471, and to straight to 20 in Pearl. I guess it depends on traffic.

But I've spent more time on the Trace as an adult than I did as a kid before 25 was "finished."

Waze doesn't necessarily spread the news about dead trees blocking the road after ice.

 

[L4Dawg]

He was just on the field at Davis Wade with a cowbell.

 

[L4Dawg]

If you aren’t in a hurry, take the Trace every time.

Makes sense I guess, he’s German and Cullman was founded by a German immigrant after the Civil War.

They even have a weiner dog race at Oktoberfest…

If you’re going from Starkville to Texas the Trace is by far the best route around Jackson.
