War Child
Merc said:I was a huge Queen-fan in my early teenage years ( <--- makes me sound *so* old! ) and everywhere I went on the net (forums, chatrooms etc.) I called myself Mercury. Named after Freddie firstly, but also after the roman god and the chemical element...
... I eventually grew out of Queen and their music (for several reasons), and got very much into a certain little Irish rockband (somone might even say I became fanatic, but... ), but still kept the name Mercury when I started going to U2-related sites...
... but at a certain point I got tired of all the Freddie references (I did think it was funny in the beginning, but not in the long run) and everyone did shorten it to Merc anyway so, thats the story of name I signed up with...
I know just a little bit of Mercury's story -- I mean the Roman god.
And it's so nice!
Especially the fact he has wings on his shoes!
