The DJ Who Predicted Bohemian Rhapsody Would Become a Worldwide Hit

Back in the day, radio D.J.’s used to play a big part of the selection of music that you would hear played on their programs. Many radio disc jockey’s found followers based on the type of music they would select and present on their shows to their listeners.

A lot of times these early releases we received were garbage from bands that were trying to “make it”, but from time to time you’d find some golden nuggets so you’d need to consider every early piece of music you listened to very carefully.

This is the story of how a D.J. played Bohemian Rhapsody before it became a worldwide hit and he predicted it would be around for decades to come. Fascinating. As I can remember when the song was first released and people looking at each and asking WHAT IS THIS?
