Have all the Beatles and all the Boston records.

Miss him already! |

I remember the first time I heard Boston...it was the summer of 76, their first album had JUST been released. I heard "More Than A Feeling" on one of the rock stations in the Detroit area, and loved it. After work that day, I ran to the local record outlet, and found the first Boston LP under "New Records This Week". Bought it, ran home and played it all evening, again and again.
My then wife-to-be saw Boston her senior year in college, so she got to see Brad live in concert.
Farewell, Brad, we will miss you....everytime we play a Boston album we will think of you.

Too bad the all too typical talent vs. record company shenanigans held them back for years - we could have heard so much more. R.I.P, Brad. |

Interesting, or maybe not, piece of musical trivia; the last number one single without a music video was Amanda by Boston. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | So it was a suicide appearently. I don't know if it's because he's just a few years older than me, because I'm a fan, or because you can search hi and low on the net and not find one unkind word about him... but I was moping a bit today. It's a cliche to say "it seemed like he had everything one could want and was such a happy guy" but I spent some time reading the articles and that's all I'm left to say. It just doesn't add up. To top it off, a new show on tonight which obviously was completed before his death, started with a flashback that included some Boston tunes as the soundtrack.
Well time to go plug the old Ovation Preacher into my Rockman rig and wake up the neighbors..... |
