When my sister and I were teenagers we were really big Queen fans. Of course, this was already after Freddie Mercury had died, but still, we had every album on CD, watched concert videos and VH1 specials, and when we went to England on a family vacation in 1992 we bought all manner of Queen crap and memorabilia.
Brian May was always our favorite band member. He was like, the sensitive, intelligent, soulful one. So I was very pleased to find out that last month he turned in his dissertation in astrophysics after a 36-year break.
Imagine being a rock star and a PhD in astrophysics. There’s a person who’s done something with his life.

Respect to Brian May. One of my most treasured vinyl albums was “The Starfleet Project” EP that Brian May released. It was basically an unplanned jam session with Eddie Van Halen and Brian May. Three songs on the EP, including a song “Starfleet” that May wrote, inspired by his son’s favorite Japanese anime show.

I’ve always thought that May is more intelligent than Mercury:)
