Who didn't know no good from bad.
I knew about life before I
Left my Nursery.
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty Nanny
Big heap woman, she made a bad boy out of me.

LOVE Brian May! That Doctorate in Astrophysics sure has come in handy. Not only being one of the most iconic guitarists in the world, of ONE of the most iconic bands.

Clearly not in need of money, he re-entered university and emerged an astrophysicist! If he never did that, I would still be astounded by the fact he built his own guitar!

My favorite of Queen songs.

He also wrote..."39", "Who Wants To Live Forever?", "The Show Must Go On", as well as "We Will Rock You."
