Dr. Steve O'Shea's name has appeared in many science journals and periodicals. But I would venture to guess that this is the first time he's received press coverage in the Entertainment section, for his thoughts on music... Steve's quote is about 70% of the way down in this article:

I believe this phenomenon can be explained via the following equation:

(:grad: + :meso:) / (:elvis: + :headphon:) * { :band: } = :madsci:

Wow, Steve-o...you're a Prominent Kiwi now!

Hmmm...prominent...prominent...where is that dictionary...oh, yeah, here it is!

Prominent: 1 : standing out or projecting beyond a surface or line : PROTUBERANT 2 a : readily noticeable : CONSPICUOUS.

Hm. I see. I wonder if the ammonia has anything to do with that...
