Asi každý z nás má jednu kapelu, se kterou se identifikuje a kterou si pouštěl, když mu bylo hrozně nebo naopak skvěle. Pro Mika Dawsona to byli vždy Queen a Freddie Mercury. Jeho Freddie a já se svým způsobem podobá „Bohemian Rhapsody“: bere čtenáře na rockovou pouť – od Mikova dětství v Británii přes středoškolská léta v New Jersey po 90. léta, kterým vládl grunge a Queeni byli naprosto out. Mike prochází zkouškami a strastmi na cestě k dospělosti a Queeni ho ani na chviličku neopouštějí. Musí se vypořádat s dilematy, která všichni dobře známe – navázání celoživotního partnerského vztahu, nalezení vysněného zaměstnání, vyrovnání se s povinnostmi vůči rodině či dokonce s vlastní smrtelností. Díky humoru, citlivosti a řadě úžasných, byť smyšlených vystoupení Freddieho Mercuryho, Briana Maye, George Michaela a Andrewa Ridgeleyho nám Freddie a já dojemně připomíná, že naše oblíbená muzika je vlastně soundtrackem k mnoha našim nejdůležitějším vzpomínkám a zážitkům. A stačí jediný tón a všechny se nám najednou vybaví.
