In a fascinating episode of Today I Found Out, host Simon Whistler tells of how the iconic Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody” gained a such huge following in both the United Kingdom and the United States before the record label ever approved its release. Using information written by Karl Smallwood, Whistler explains that it was two DJ’s from each side of the pond that made the song a hit.

The one person who saw the genius of the song, other than the band of course, was famed DJ and a close friend of Mercury, Kenny Everett, who famously stated that it was “going to be number one for centuries.” …Despite the “strict” instructions not to play it, immediately after getting a copy of the single, Everett began playing clips of the song on his morning show on Capital FM, a popular London based radio station. …A similar thing was happening on the other side of the pond when Paul Drew of RKO managed to wrangle a copy of the song from somewhere and started playing it across the RKO network of stations. …With the song already something of a hit on the radio even before being released, the label relented and on the 31st of October, 1975, Bohemian Rhapsody was officially released as a single in the UK where it spent 9 weeks at number one.

Italian activist artist Biancoshock has decorated several manholes in Milan as if they were rooms within a home. The installation, entitled “Borderlife“, makes a powerful statement about homelessness, particularly when a segment of the population attempts to make a home within the sewer system.

If some problems can not be avoided, make them comfortable. Intervention that, paradoxically, speaks about people forced to live in extreme conditions, even coming to live in manholes. An example of inspiration is Bucharest, where more than 600 people live underground, in the sewers.

"If some problems can not be avoided, make them comfortable".
BORDERLIFE, a true project. #activism #ephemeralism
