One of my most favourite people, Brian May from the rock group "Queen" talking about the subject.

Anya,
Thanks you so much for posting that interview link. The Brian May essay was lovely and Jeremy Vine's interview was excellent. I was fascinated to find that he (Jeremy) has thirty or so interviews in the "What Makes Us Human" series. I'm going to listen to them all (or until I hit a clunker 
).

Welles, I had you in mind (as well as the supremely human Sandy
) when I posted this link. I'm glad you will be feasting your ears and soul on some of these superb interviews. I have made a start with "religious" figures (Chief Rabbi Sacks & Archbishop of Liverpool) and found what they said very moving. Isn't the choice diverse? I'd recommend perhaps you google who they are before listening, but give the politicians a wide berth
I too enjoy reading your posts - in fact, they just about keep me sane at times, so thanks for that!!

Hey guys,
I just listened to the interview and enjoyed it very much. So much so that I have placed it in my favourites and will go back and do what Welles is doing. (Listen to the rest of them.) I am so impressed with Brian May...and was thinking, "Now there is a man making good use of the time he has been given on earth."
Thanks Anya for bringing this series to our attention.
Love,
Sandy
