Lead singer of Boston Brad Delp killed himself. This was posted last year but...the story has evolved. Some Home Depot guy had his daughter make a Boston myspace tribute page, with him on vocals, and the band heard it.

Now a middle aged fat guy from Home Depot is a rock star. Great story.

I know I just dated myself.

ehhhhhh not a Boston fan, sorry.

But i do empathize. When Syd Barrett (pink floyd's original lead man) died, I was so sad...

Yes...( sob ).

More than a feeling was one of those icon songs.
He had a four octave range and was basically unreplacable.

Did you know Tome Scultz ( the guitarist ) invented the polaroid camera and has several top secret military camera patents?

Okay.

I suspect that the reason Wiki doesn't list any military patents is because the secret service probably doesn't want to have to provide a security detail like they were doing in the 80's.

I was wrong about being the inventor of the polaroid, but he did something to make it cheap and fast. His military patents have to do with camera and night-vision technology.

The guitarist is a certified genius who not only engineered and invented several successful things but performed all the instruments on the mega gazillion selling 1st album. The only thing he didn't do is the vocals.

Sad..... Boston is one of my favourite 1970's bands.

Boston and Journey now that's some AM radio/ 8 track/ 1970's memories.

What an incredible story of becoming a rock star. I've heard him sing, and sounds remarkably like Delp, too.

Boston is definitely one of the greatest things to happen to music.

Maybe I'll call the band & see if they'll let me perform a song or 2 with them. Then when I get on stage, I'll do my Freddy Mercury impersonation & belt out the words ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.
