abstract:Lawrence Michael "Mick" Brown FRS (born 1936) is a Canadian physicist, known for his pioneering work on the application of transmission electron microscopy to metals, diamond, nuclear materials and semiconductors. He has spent much of his career at the Cavendish Laboratory, which he joined in 1960.
What I remember was a bandleader as frenetic as Mick Jagger or James Brown, a singer bursting with almost self-destructive urgency, trying to bust through the buzzy indifference of the crowd.
From Mick Jagger to Michael Jackson, David Bowie to Public Enemy, Brown's rapid-footed dancing, hard-charging beats and heartfelt yet often unintelligible vocals changed the musical landscape.
