Academic Musicans

Well I thought I knew that Art Garfunkel had a PhD in Mathematics (only today I learn that it's just a Master's degree, but still it's an advanced Mathematics degree) but now it seems that a Guitarist named Brian May of the group Queen also has a PhD in Astrophysics and Greg Graffin of the rock band Bad Religion has a PhD in evolutionary paleontology.

What's up with that? Aren't all rockers just supposed to be stoned out of their minds all the time ... NOT the sort of people capable of getting advanced University degrees in highly technical subjects.

Another myth bites the dust.
