Aside from The Beatles, no band has influenced my life and lifestyle quite like Queen. I was 15 when A Night at the Opera was released, and its iconic track “Bohemian Rhapsody” dominated the airwaves. That was the beginning of a teenage obsession. Queen became more than just a favorite band for me; they were more like a religion, or a way of life. I joined their official fan club in London and quickly connected with Queen pen pals worldwide, one of whom remains one of my closest friends to this day.

Two striking wheat pastes by American graphic pop artist  Scott Caris seem to leap from the walls of Brick Lane in Shoreditch, London. One features a young Bob Dylan, his face awash in blue and green, with the poignant lyric “I’m on the dark side of the road” (from “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”) scrawled across his forehead. Beside Dylan, a bold portrait of Pete Townshend from The Who shows him strumming a double-neck guitar, eyes locked forward, as a red-and-blue mod target hovers behind him like a halo. The pairing feels like a surreal tribute to rock’s restless rebellion and cool introspection. The guy sitting on the curb never looked up from his phone.
