Queen for a Day - White Man

I hate this song. It's the Sweet Lady of this album. An apology ode to Indians the song is basically another in a long line of Brian May blues rockers. Pick a riff, write a song.
There's nothing fun on it, it's the song you fast forward on cassette. A track that made you hate 8 tracks as much as you did when you had to listen to The Prophet's Song. (a lot of these are May contributions...)
I've spent too much time talking about a song that cribs from every cliche in the rock songbook. This is Queen as Jimi Hendrix meets Mick Jagger. Ugly through and through and not very fun to listen to much less write about.
