I just read this article...

"Queen star finishes PhD thesis after 30 years"
Link

And I thought it was especially cool because it reminded me of the Queen song, '39, and what I'd read about May's contribution in the story that it tells. When I first heard and was reading about this song was when I found out he was interested in physics and such, so it's nice to hear he got his PhD.

Wikipedia tells about it:

The song also reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode with a similar storyline - wish I could remember the name.
