Boston Rocks!



After several weeks of playing Rock Band, I've become a born-again Boston fan....I'm particularly fond of their hit 'Foreplay/Long Time'. There are very few songs that rock as hard as this one. In fact, I'm considering entering the US Air Guitar championships playing excerpts of the kickass solos. The song has entered heavy rotation on 2 of my iPods. Today I was riding by the Hickam golf course wearing the iPod. I was riding a nice tempo pace. Once this song came on, the only thing I could do was sit up and start wailing on the air guitar. It's irresistible...I'd say it's impossible to listen this song and not pick up the air guitar. That's one reason I don't wear an iPod when riding with a group...air guitaring in a paceline at 25mph isn't very safe.

Didn't Boston's original lead singer commit suicide?

This was one of my favorite albums in high school... I especially liked the song "Hitch a Ride." But really, the whole album is solid all the way through.

You did read the liner notes, didn't you? Very intersting story. Tom Sholz, the lead guitarist/front-man is obviously an extremely bright guy (MIT-educated engineer). He's also from OHIO!!!!
