Steven Spielberg

Song Lyric Thursday Salutes Brian May


Brian May, guitarist for Queen, recently published his doctoral thesis in astrophysicists. Rock on, Dude! In addition, he has taken a post at a university.

Okay, so he’s just a figurehead, and at sixty years old is unlikely to dive head long into any heavy research project. You still have to admire a person who finishes their education even when it is not necessary.*

Let’s hear a little Queen now, shall we?

Ooo. you make me live 
whatever this world can give to me 
It’s you, you’re all I see 
Ooo, you make me live now honey 
Ooo, you make me live 
You’re the best friend 
that I ever had 
I’ve been with you such a long time 
You’re my sunshine 
And I want you to know 
That my feelings are true 
I really love you 
You’re my best friend 
Ooo, you make me live 
I’ve been wandering round 
But I still come back to you 
In rain or shine 
You’ve stood by me girl 
I’m happy, happy at home 
You’re my best friend. 
You’re the first one 
When things turn out bad 
You know I’ll never be lonely 
You’re my only one 
And I love 
The things that you do 
You’re my best friend 
Ooo, you make me live. 
I’m happy, happy at home 
You’re my best friend 
You’re my best friend 
Ooo, you make me live 
You, you’re my best friend. 

* Steven Spielberg is another celebrity who went back to finish an abandoned college degree. He dropped out when he was offered a a chance to make his first short feature film. He returned later to finish as an example to his kids.

A Monday MEME


I am not much of a team tag player which is probably why I never get tagged but I found an interesting MEME on FuelMyBlog that doesn’t require any effort beyond the ability to put links in a post.

Link 1 must be about family

Link 2 must be about friends

Link 3 must be about yourself

Link 4 must be about something you love

Link 5 can be anything you choose

Post your five links and then tag five other people.

1) Family Night

2) Making New Friends

3) Me

4) Rob

5) Jasper

Normally I would tag Steven Spielberg but he’s got a premiere coming up at Cannes and probably just doesn’t have time, and Angelina and I are on the outs ’cause she doesn’t have much by way of a sense of humor these days (preggie with twins will do that to you). Since Oprah can’t admit she reads me (because it would cause a run on this site, overwhelm WordPress and make other bloggers jealous), and I really shouldn’t be name dropping anyway, I will call upon some of my trusted companions in blogging: Rob, Pammy, Girl, Uncle Keith, and Daisyfae. However, anyone can play (or not) as the moment moves them. If you do, don’t forget to post a link here for all to enjoy.
