When Death Is NOT Theoretical by Robert Charles Powell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Baby boomers" dealing with death - especially death "definitely on the calendar" - feel free to choose from an array of "hymns" beyond "Amazing Grace," and have been tending to look especially to one music group - "Queen" - as a source of funeral songs. The focus of "When Death Is NOT Theoretical ...," including theological overtones, is on three aspects: (1) the apparently seven-year period, from mid 1984 to late 1991, when Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), the extraordinarily talented frontman of the versatile music group "Queen," actively dealt with dying while performing, (2) the thirteen-year period before that when Queen already handled the double theme of "facing death head-on" and of "affirming life while fully aware of death", plus (3) the effect of this very public dying and this persistent, quiet awareness of death both on Mercury's bandmates and on the group's "baby boomer" fans as they became faced with death. Most considerations of Queen and its musical catalogue have been by journalists, but Dr. Powell approaches these questions as an historian and clinician, analyzing fifty-some songs and mobilizing extensive amounts of data to support his conclusions. Endnotes suggest answers to several additional long-puzzling questions about Queen and the music group's work - such as, where did Mercury get his name? and where did Queen get the title "Seven Seas of Rhye"? Author Biography Robert Charles Powell, MD, PhD is a medical historian and psychiatrist who works closely with clinical pastoral chaplains. While doing field studies on hospice care he realized that there are several distinct categories of dying and several distinct views of "living while dying". He discovered - and then explored - the intriguing fact that songs by the music group "Queen" often carry openly theological themes and often are chosen for "baby boomer" funerals.
