- matthiaswh 16y agoBrian May's story is pretty impressive. He left school while pursuing his PhD when Queen became popular. Over 30 years later he finished his studies and obtained his degree.
- m0nastic 16y agoThere's also Brian Cox (there must be something in the UK water about turning out musicians/physicists): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_(physicist) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_(physicist)
- nostrademons 16y agoAlso Tom Scholz of Boston. MIT-trained mechanical engineer, worked for Polaroid, and then left to found one of great classic rock bands.
- m0nastic 16y agoIn that vein, all three members of the J. Geils Band were engineering students at my college (WPI) ;) And apparently the lead singer/guitarist/keyboardist for OK Go (although I think that was after I left)
