A rocker whose brains were definitely not fried. But, um, like, wow! That’s freaking amazing.
QUEEN RULES
man, wtf is it about Astrophysicists named Brian being in kickass bands?
everything turns into queen if left alone long enough. even, apparently, NASA.
Queen is like … the most overqualified band in history.
Brian May had a BS in Physics and had started his PhD but Queen was getting very famous so he put it on hold. He did go back and attained his PhD in Astrophysics in 2008.
John Deacon is a electrical engineer and would build custom equipment for the band.
Roger Taylor was in school to become a dentist but switched and got a BS in Biology instead.
Freddie Mercury had a degree in Art and Design. He he designed the Queen crest himself.
I still totally want a TV show staring Brian May and Brian Cox.
Good lord, you scared me with this for a bit. Whenever I see nice photos of Brian May on my dash, I think it’s a memoriam thing. He’s such a gift, and my heart’s just not ready. <3
