Re: [Phys-l] physics in music

I forgot to ask in my other message whether anyone's aware of Olivia Newton
John ever having said anything about her grandfather, Max Born?  I've always
been curious to know.

Some years ago at a Rochester summer AAPT meeting Emil Wolf ended a talk in
memorable fashion by playing her first big hit to the crowd of physicists
there.  I told him  he blew the perfect opportunity to play "Let's Get
Physical."  Do you think there's any sort of inside joke behind that title?
I wonder...
