Brian May will complete his PhD
The BBC has reported that Brian May is about to hand in the thesis for the PhD he abandoned in 1971 to form Queen.
I don't know why but I find this a quietly reassuring nugget of news. Amidst reports of floods, wars and teenage antisocial behaviour, we have this nice little story of a man returning to a commitment he made nearly forty years ago and finishing it off.
It is doubtful that this will make the slightest bit of difference to the world as a whole but it's a sort of encouraging to think that it's never too late.
