If he’s as talented a physicist and author as he is a musician, you can bet I’ll read his books.

Brian gets his doctorate.
Meanwhile, Freddy Mercury is NOT dead, he's just been reborn as a Kazakhstani journalist:

May was always a very underrated guitar player. His work, however, is as good as any rocker who ever strapped on a six string. Check out the song “Brighton Rock” on Queen’s third album for verification.

Brian May is completing his doctorate in astrophysics, more than 30 years after he abandoned his studies to form the rock group Queen.
No kidding, a doctorate in astrophysics? Wow. I am impressed. Who knew he was hiding a mind like that under that '70s arena rock haircut?

Say, why did you pick out “rapper?”

Or your average rocker.

Unlike Borat/Sacha Baron Cohen, Freddie was actually fabulous and fabulously talented. I love Freddie’s beautiful voice.

In London a few weeks ago,I saw the West End production of “We Will Rock You”.Although I was never a Queen fan I thought it was outstanding.I think that one or more members of the group were involved in the production (consultants,artistic advisors,etc).

Whoah... Brian May THE guitarist! Very cool indeed!

His guitar solo at the end of “We Will Rock You” has got to be one of tidiest piece of effortless six string ever recorded.

It's pretty amazing that he's able to pick it up again at such a high level after so many years. Getting a PhD requires publishing articles in peer reviewed journals on a topic that no one else has written about first. That's a lot harder to do in hard sciences than in ethnic studies programs.
To: Cecily
There is another rocker who could also get a Doctorate if he put his mind to it. I am talking of none other than Doug Martsch of “Built To Spill.”
