Queen's 1982 'Hot Space' album, you either love it or love to hate it. Freddie Mercury can safely assume that the acerbic music critic from Rolling Stone magazine, Hayes Griffith, despises it. A particularly scathing review of 'Hot Space' provokes a meeting between the lively musician and cold critic. The result? A PR nightmare for both men. *** Characters are inspired by Queen. I do not own them, photos, or lyrics, used throughout the story.

"I'm a friend of Roger's." "Oh, so I won't have to remember your name for very long then."
