I'm pretty close to 100% sure this photo will make you smile.

Brian May "auditioning" a new, potential bandmate at the Brisbane Animal Hospital. Brian, et al, are playing at a bushfire relief concert in Sydney. Well, et al, except probably not the Koala.

And it isn't honorary either. Dr. May went up the education ladder, did the coursework, got the higher degrees, and even discovered a star (no, not Freddie). I'm pretty sure his dissertation turned into a book. He also builds his own guitars and invented that reverb thingy that they used on "Now I'm Here".

All 4 of Queen's members met while in college. Just like the Doors, Chicago, and Steely Dan (with a drummer named Chevy Chase) among other famous bands.

And, yes, that was smileworthy.

For a 1000 reasons! Being an animal lover, defender, & vegetarian is up there for me. He's the most intelligent, sensitive rocker ever. And damn, QUEEN! They were all killer Queens! 💕👑

It's my fantasy to meet him one day (before we both croak).
