I just learned that Freddie Mercury worked as a baggage handler for British Airways at London Heathrow International Airport, and when looking that up to post about it, learned that his British Airways successors gave a tribute performance on his birthday this past year

Yes, they really did this, here's the behind the scenes version.



In addition to the dance demo, British Airways offered another promotion relating to Mercury on September 5. On that day, any BA passenger departing from Heathrow T5 named Freddie or Frederick, or Mercury’s actual first name, Farrokh, was invited along with their traveling companions to use the airline’s First Class Lounge.

this is why they are wearing a strange yellow jacket.

I can't think of anyone that became world legend famous, or even local celeb famous, who has done some job I've had decades before I did it.

That would be pretty cool though, if you learned that you were working at some job that Elvis worked at, or the diner where Whoopi Goldberg was a waitress (it's a couple minutes from where I live, and I've been there) you know what I mean? It's inspiring, and motivating. Proof that life's limitations are partly our own imaginary walls that we haven't broken down and moved past.

Some things are in our way, hold us back, and luck plays one unbelievable big part of success too. But most of the time we are not struggling to achieve more, and quit risking security and a safe daily life in order to gamble that we've got the right timing, enough luck, talent and skill to overcome the obstacles between our present circumstances and our goals
