Strange Fruit

Dear James,

Here's something I found out at work today. I was "researching" espionage for the Trojan Television episode when I found the story of the Rosenbergs, controversially alleged US spies who gave information about the atom bomb to the Soviets and were executed in 1953. Their children were eventually adopted by Abel Meeropol, who under the pen name of Lewis Allen wrote Strange Fruit. Albeit fourteen years earlier, which kind of spoils the story, on reflection.

In 1999, Time magazine named Strange Fruit the Song of the Century. Time magazine clearly weren't Queen fans. Although that does remind that you can find out what was on the cover of Time magazine on the day you were born. Mine's Paul McCartney.
