This was one I did a few months ago, no idea why as it wasn't for a table or anything, more just an experiment to see if a new acid I got would remove the original black paint, it did.

David Byrne (1952-) Talking Heads - lead vocals and guitar Songs: "The Book I Read," "Heaven" Propaganda: "Autism"

Roger Taylor (1949-) Queen - drums Songs: "I'm in Love With My Car," "More of That Jazz" Propaganda: "Unearthly child, beautiful youth, rocker with a (usually) impeccable sense of style, hot dad, silver fox, sexy santa: this man has been sizzling hot for decades. Even his fellow rock stars are mesmerised by how hot he is, especially when dragged up in videos. Super hot." "His falsetto at the start of 'In the Lap of the Gods.' The messy blond hair. His chemistry with Freddie Mercury."

fun facts

"We Didn't Start The Fire" chronicles every major historical event from 1949 (when Billy Joel was born) to 1989, when the song was written

About the song, Billy said: "It’s one of the few times I’ve written the lyrics first, which should be obvious to why I usually prefer to write the music first, because the melody is horrendous. It’s like a mosquito droning. It’s one of the worst melodies I’ve ever written. I kind of like the lyrics though"

Brian May initially didn't like "Don't Stop Me Now" as he felt it was celebrating Freddie Mercury's hedonistic and risky lifestyle. He added that he struggled with the lyrics at the time, because it was about a difficult period in Freddie's life when the singer was "taking lots of drugs and having sex with lots of men". However, after hearing the song being played at weddings, parties and funerals, he has come to appreciate it as representing "great joy"

Measuring Time: Atomic Clocks

The most accurate clocks that exist today are atomic clocks, measuring the flow of time based on the resonant frequency of atoms and molecules. This is possible because electrons associated with atoms exist at distinct energy levels, and the transitions between these energy levels can be determined, leading to a consistent resonance when probed. While there are several types of atomic clocks, with different setups and configurations, they all rely on a single substance.

Cesium clocks are the most common, and it is the resonant frequency of cesium (also written caesium) that is used for the current definition of a second. Some atomic clocks also use rubidium, or hydrogen. Less common and more recent is strontium, as well as aluminum, yttrium, and mercury. Historically, ammonia was actually used in the first atomic clock in 1949 before the first cesium clock was built in 1955.
