Rock star, singer, pianist, composer, arranger, inventor, author, wildlife activist, etc. etc. etc. - certainly a galaxy (or should we say, a universe) of careers to pursue. In spite of his education and experiences in life, he still seems to be a modest man and a real gentleman. What a FABULOUS ROLE MODEL for our younger generations (many of whom seem to think that becoming a Justin Bieber or a Kardashian should be a goal in life)!

I had the pleasure of meeting Brian May whilst working on a charity project with him (Rock Aid Armenia) When I found out he was an astrophysicist I was beside myself! We ended up chatting physics, entanglement, 3D stereoscopy, guitars, god, communism, the wall, (we were in the Armenian embassy in London) the list goes on. He is such a delightful boffin. Even the simplest questions he would produce a thoughtful “hmm” and think for a minute before responding. Definitely a highlight of my life.

Brian May has always been my guitar mod hero (and playing). He makes astronomical instruments, he turns volume knobs and whammy bars into devices no one thought of, he is awesome. I finally got my degree at age 47 (class of 2000!) and thumbs up to all adult students. It was a much, much better experience than right out of high school. For my sr. thesis, I wrote multi-track digital recording software (rudimentary, but more impressive in 2000) and played guitar to demonstrate it and defend my paper, so I feel that I put a little rock star into computer science. :)

He did some interviews talking about how he built and used his guitar, Red Special. What is interesting to me is that he set his pickups so he could run them in or out of phase because they allowed him to both cut out unwanted signals from each string but also provide a different fat sound for different parts of the songs they did. This is basically the same principle as the as the interferometer, except he'd been playing with the concept since he built the guitar at age 17.

It should and it would. It's not for nothing that doing a PhD is several years of very hard work. Even writing the thesis, once most work has been done, is several month of work at best. As Scott explained in his video, a PhD that is just given away doesn't amount to much. I'm sure he could do a fantastic thesis and beautifully written, given his skills in vulgarization. An frankly, I'm surprised to learn that he doesn't have his PhD. But it would be very a long and very hard work to go through the process nonetheless.

My dad met, and got a picture with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Guitarist for Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers). It kind of happened on accident. My dad was an officer in the Air Force at the time, working in space ops. Jeff Baxter on the other hand... Accidentally became a military consultant. As a result of his music career (which he also accidentally found himself in after working in a music shop as a clerk and occasional guitar repairman, where he met Jimi Hendrix), Jeff was interested in sound design electronics, and its origins in military technology. His neighbor was a retired engineer who worked on the sidewinder missile design program. He bought Jeff a subscription to aviation weekly. From there, Jeff started reading other military publications, and became self taught in subjects like missile defense. He then wrote a 5 page paper on how the Aegis anti aircraft missile system could be adapted into a crude form of missile defense, and gave it to a congressman. Expecting to be ignored, quite the opposite happened, and he suddenly found himself in a career as a military consultant which quickly exploded. He specializes in missile defense and anti-terrorism. Not bad for a guy with a degree in Journalism of all things. There's a lot of weirdly smart people in rock bands. Anyway, it was in his role as a consultant that my dad ran into him. My dad enlisted in the air force in electronics PMEL. Basically, he worked in a lab to calibrate electronics, like Oscilloscopes. He then got a commission, and went into space ops, where he worked for a long time. Not bad for someone who, up until recently, only had an English degree of all things. He's also coincidentally a classic rock buff and learned how to play the guitar. He's always buying them and selling them when he gets bored of them. Only time I've seen him not get rid of one is this gorgeous Gibson Les Paul, which I grew up listening to him play riffs on after work to relax. They're both role models to me. My entire life, my peers and coworkers have made fun of me for essentially sounding like all I do is memorize astronomy and science and history Wikipedias or something. "Why do you know all this junk, it's useless" is a phrase that often comes up. For one thing, truth is, I just have an interest in many subjects, and as such, naturally seek out information about them for fun. I fail to see how that's any different (or more useless) than a baseball fan knowing an NBA players batting averages off the top of their heads. And it's not useless either. I may not need it for my current job. And I may not have the degree that's technically required for the technical jobs I want... But then, neither did my dad or Jeff. They simply took an interest in a subject, and ran with it, and that's all it took for opprotunities to crop up. And when I do someday take the time to study and get a degree, so that I can slap it on my resume... Well... Something I learned in high school and tech school is that already knowing a large portion of the information, just because I learned for fun, makes acing classes hella easy. And something I learned failing out of college is that forcing yourself to "learn" like it's a chore just for the sake of chasing a stupid piece of paper you can put on your resume, is that degrees don't mean much if your heart isn't in it. Now that I've worked a shitty job for a while, gotten some real world experience, and learned some hands on skills, I can't wait to try again. --------------------------------------- Personally Scott, I think you SHOULD go and finish your dissertation. Come back to it, and use the insight you've gained in between to attack the subject with gusto, and from new angles... AND, to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, I think you should finish it in the format of audio/visual media, and self publish it on KZitem as a playlist of videos. Sure, do the whole pen and paper thing so it can be peer reviewed and published in official publications, and all that jazz, but lets face it, whatever you do your dissertation on, we're going to want to hear all about it. That's just the kind of nerdy community you've cultivated, having accidentally found yourself internet famous... I just realized that would be like saying Brian May should make a rock opera about space dust, but let's face it, that would be awesome too.

From what I can understand of the song (And i have listened to it a lot) The first clue is in the title:- Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people and with few permanent ties. It involves musical, artistic, literary or spiritual pursuits. In this context, Bohemians may or may not be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds. Rhapsody - Noun an effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling. -or- A free instrumental composition in one extended movement, typically one that is emotional in character. The poem itself is very deep, full of cultural references to Freddie's country of origin, so I will do my best to digest it in to a comment-sized explanation. so in a sentence in context to the song: A musical poem about a disadvantaged boy in Zanzibar who lead a religiously and morally appalled lifestyle possibly to survive and with no real alternatives in sight due to his immediate cultural circumstances. The first paragraph of the Lyrics is a monologue, or a reflection to his life in a downward spiral, questioning perhaps the circumstances in a state of denial or disbelief. It gives insight to the character and his care-free lifestyle The second verse moves on to a confession to his mother, possibly the only person he cares about, feeling regret for making her distraught with his actions, he states that he's going to try and go in to hiding, but does not bank on his chances after he committed a crime either in defence or under the coercion of a cult (I'll get to that in a minute) the next paragraph is ultimately his capture, given the setting of the song, we know that the typical punishment for crimes against god (Bismillah) are to be stoned to death. it goes on to describe the aching in his body this could describe shock, the effects of trying to flee, and/or being beaten during capture, which thus moves on to regret, wishing he'd never been born. The next paragraph is interesting, it's a reference to a Spanish character, (Scaramouch:A person who thinks he/she is all that, but they aren't all what they say they are.) and the fandango (A Spanish dance, Or a complicated process) which likely indicates the trial of his execution, which segways in to the next verse this is a trio of alternating phrases, A) I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me B) He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity A)Easy come easy go will you let me go C) Bismillah (In the name of god) , no we will not let you go, (B) let him go This section goes back and fourth as a plea for his release, and ends with the realisation that 'hell is waiting for his arrival.' "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me" ^Beelzebub - adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon - The prince of devils. The next verse seems like a turn of events, his mother possibly rejecting him in anger at his actions as he is lead/dragged off to meet his fate. "So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die"(...) The last verse, really seems like a conclusion, Nothing matters. Anyway, The wind blows. (Life moves on)

Like all good PhD theses, the best part is the acknowledgements. Halfway through my own doctorate at Imperial I got curious about what Brian May said about his years playing in Queen in the 'soft' bit of the thesis, and the result is pretty surprising: The writing of my thesis was virtually complete in 1974, but the submission was deferred due to various pressures. Having returned to the work in 2006, ... ... and that's it. "various pressures".

Both Mercury and Deacon used their degrees with Queen. Freddie designed the band's logo, and has always been noted for his fashion choices. Among Deacon's other contributions to the band, he created the Deacy amplifier for May's electric guitar.

It's a great story about Brian, Would be interested in hearing him talk about going back to his old thesis after that gap - presumably few or none of the people he was originally working with were still at Imperial after that time and the place would have changed almost out of recognition.

I did a PhD in chemistry at Imperial College 1980 to 1983 but never completed it as, like Scott, I had a chance to take up a job on an exciting computer project at University of Leeds in late 1983. It was a new wave to ride and it was exciting. I was effectively poached from under the nose of my PhD supervisor by a visiting researcher after being told to go talk to him cos he was doing crazy computer AI research. Much much later when a friend of mine told me around 2006/2007 that Brian May was back at Imperial finishing up his PhD it go me thinking about my abandoned PhD. It wasn't possible to go back to that work as the field had moved on and the questions had been answered. Then in 2010 my old Leeds research group got hold of me to say there was a PhD project available that would be ideal for me. So I took up the offer on a part time basis. In early 2015 I finally got a PhD at the age of 56. So Scott - it may not be possible to go back to old work but if you are in the position to be able to do some meaningful research in later life go for it. I did my best work ever in my second "part-time hobby" PhD As a footnote - I did get the chance at an astronomy convention in London to have a chat with Brian May about 3D imaging and second chance PhDs :) . This is the 3D image we talked about (I got tips on how to improve the 3D effect) www.astrobin.com/237028/
