Bohemian

Movement of artist and poets in late 19th century France, especially in Paris. Bohemians believed in living outside of the bourgeois (conventional, middle class) mainstream culture. Bohemians were against the Salon (the institution that controlled the literary and art market in France until the turn of the 20th century)and believed that art and literature should be radical. They often gathered in "cafes" and drank absinthe. Many Bohemians were politically radical, being either anarchists or members of the Commune de Paris during the Franco-Prussian war. The Bohemian movement died out at the turn of the century but had a large influence on later movements such as surrealism, the beat generation, and punk rock.
Toulouse - Lautrec depicted the romanticized life of many Bohemians, although the reality of the life-style was often very difficult and tragic.

bohemian rhapsody

The BEST song of all time by the British Rock band Queen.

Just as good as any other major hit by any 60's-80's British Rock band, except BETTER
I see a little silhouetto of a man.

Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango?
THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING VERY VERY FRIGHTNING ME!

Arguably the best part of bohemian rhapsody in my opinion.

la vie boheme

In english, "The Bohemian Life". One of the best songs in Rent that celebrates the life of the Bohemians living in the Village.
"To days of inspiration playing hookie, making something out of nothing, the need to express to communicate, to going against the grain, going insane going mad. To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension, to starving for attention, hating convention, hating pretension not to mention of course, hating dear old mom and dad. To riding your bike, Midday past the three- piece suits, to fruits to no absolutes, to Absolute- to choice, to the Village Voice to any passing fad. To being an us-for once-, instead of a them...

LA VIE BOHEME!"
