Submission + - Brian May, rock legend, astrophysicist? (yahoo.com)
xPsi writes: Brian May, the guitarist for the legendary rock band Queen (age 60), finally decided to submit his Ph.D. thesis in astrophysics entitled 'Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud.' From TFA: 'May was studying astrophysics at Imperial College when he formed Queen with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor in 1970. He dropped his doctorate research into interstellar dust as the band met with increasing success.' Call me crazy, but 30-something years might be a record for a Ph.D. 'time to completion'; better late than never. And, hey, if this whole Rock-n-Roll thing doesn't pan out, at least he'll have something to fall back on...Congratulations soon-to-be Dr. May.
