What famous rock star has a bug named for him, holding a PhD and a second Masters?



That's one well educated bug.;)

How about Brian May again (Mayfly):P:P

Actually there are bunch of rockers with bugs mamed after them, including Elvis, Frank Zappa, Freddie Mercury, Roy Orbison, and a bunch of FOSSILS named after members of the Rolling Stones! Not sure if any of these have PhDs though.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Greg Gafrin (Bad Religion) has a PhD in Zoology, and a "bird-bug" named after him (I don't recall why/what it looks like).
Frank Zappa didn't complete his PhD, although there is a PhD program designed around his music. He too, has a life-form named for him (a kind of Jellyfish/Phialella zappai)
Most would recognize Tom Scholz of "Boston," who holds a Masters in Engineering, and recently completed his PhD after retiring from music manufacturing industry (selling off Scholz Research & Development, Inc.)
