Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
In 1977, Brian May wrote those lyrics for a song that Rolling Stone ranks #300 on its all-time list of the best 500 songs.
But of course you remember....
Thirty years ago, the young guitarist and songwriter dropped out of school to see if his college band, Queen, would go anywhere. Did it ever! The group made 15 CDs, sold 300 million copies. Songs like "We Will Rock You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" brought Queen to the height of British rock -- you won't be mocked if you argue that this was the best English band of all time. And let's not forget Freddie Mercury, the lead singer, lost to AIDs and still mourned by millions.
When Queen quieted down, Brian May completed his academic work and earned a PhD from Imperial College, London. (You can buy his thesis on Interplanetary Dust, A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud.) As a mass communicator, he had an interest in a more direct explanation of the way things work, so he co-authored a book, Bang! The Complete History of the Universe.
And now the versatile Dr. May has topped himself -- he's taken a lifelong interest in stereoscopic photography and produced a picture-and-text book that is at once a historical chronicle and a work of art. "A Village Lost and Found: Scenes in Our Village" comes in a slipcase; in a separate folder, you get a 3-D viewer that May and his collaborator, Elena Vidal, created for this project.
