Roger according to Freddie’s driver

From an interview with Freddie’s driver Peter Jones, posted to Queenzone in 2005: the whole interview was, according to this thread, taken down after it was posted there, but someone quoted this bit so it’s still there:

Did you get on well with the other members of Queen?

Yeah, very well. I probably got on better with Roger really. We would go back to the hotel and Freddie would normally have a number with him. At one point, before Peter Freestone turned up, I would have to share… well, in Munich, we’d all have the Presidential Suite, which would be a bedroom one end, a bedroom the other end, with inter-communicating doors, and a sitting room and dining room and all the rest of it… he’d have his room and I would have mine, but then I’d be on call 24 hours, I couldn’t get away from it. It suited me to let Freestone get his foot further under the table, cos it took the pressure off of me, you know, he’d be calling on him, instead of me. So when we went back to the hotel, there was always millions of bloody tarts about, you couldn’t fight them off with a stick! And we’d either go back to my room or we’d go back to Roger’s room, and many a night we’d go back to Roger’s room and oblige the ladies and then see them off! And then Roger would be going on about when he first met Freddie; how Freddie was always sort of hanging around… he painted quite a sort of vivid picture about him not really being wanted around that much at the time. But Freddie would push himself... until the perseverance paid off. And the market stall thing, according to Roger, Freddie used to go and hang around there and that type of thing. So Roger and I really did have some deep conversations, which you do when you’re bombed out of your head… you sit and talk for hours about the silliest and sometimes most personal of things. I think that’s probably why he got on better with Freddie, than Deacy or Brian did. He was able to open up. He was a lovely guy, a really lovely guy. I’m sure if we met again now it wouldn’t be any different to what it was... we’d pick up from where we left off… but really I think that’s all water under the bridge now.

"Which three words would sum up Roger best for you?

(Peter looks skywards!)

Another wine dear!?! That would be it, I think. He’d know what I mean. "
