The Stranger

(MUSIC) When we were kids, we didn't get that Queen was gay. Freddie Mercury hadn't perfected his mustachioed, muscle-man jumpsuit look yet. He was still a lithe '70s rock-star boy with flowing Farrah Fawcett hair, belting out British hard rock such as "Tie Your Mother Down" and "Sheer Heart Attack." God, I hope one of the great bands playing tonight's benefit for youth affected by AIDS/HIV—including the Divorce and Mon Frere!!—tap that era, which was about as straight as a lithe rock-star boy with flowing Farrah Fawcett hair could be. I swear. (Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, 324-8000. 8 pm, $5, 21+.) JOSH FEIT
