Looking this pic link,
i almost understand why Brian May never fitted in the Rock Star spectrum. He is a scientist. Just a very sentimental one. He needed music to express hishelf and his conflicts.He needed music to grow up and find brothers. He was a genious at it. But his upbringing was aimed towards another direction.
Well in a way he achieved both. Paying a price of some identity issues i assume.
P.S. I bet synthesis is one of his favourite words.
There are often many dimensions to a person, and in Brian's case, I'm so glad that music was dominant. How do you reconcile fat bottomed girls with the atomic chart? Such a fascinating contrast.
