"In 2006, Time Asia magazine named [Freddie Mercury] as one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past 60 years: The article credited Mercury with having 'duplicated in popular music what other Indians—such as Salman Rushdie and Vikram Seth – have done in literature: taking the coloniser's art form and representing it in a manner richer and more dazzling than many Anglophones thought possible.'."
I grew up having no idea he was Indian/Parsi.
I was just wondering if it was like the Aussie's in general not knowing who The Crocodile Hunter was during the height of Steve Irwin's western popularity.
