xansI made myself sad yesterday.
I'm currently rereading The Masterharper of Pern, and it got me thinking about how long it's been since I fancast my dream roles for various characters if they made an adaptation of the Dragonriders of Pern. My mental picture of Robinton has always been something a bit like Sam Elliott, but he doesn't have the right voice to me.
And I thought, if they were making a show right now, who would I most want playing Robinton as a musical genius with an amazing vocal range? If he were still alive... Freddie Mercury. And I just... every now and then I think about all the music we never got from him and what the last 30 years could have been like with his continued influence.
