Song Lead Singer Of Boston Dead At 55
posted by on March 10 at 10:30 AM

Brad Delp, the lead singer of the band Boston was found dead yesterday, at his home in New Hampshire, at the age of 55. Boston was most famous for their eponymous album, which featured their monster hit, More Than A Feeling.
Many teenagers lost their virginities as this song blasted from car stereos. What a tremendous gift he gave the world!
In his honor, I’d like to post the remix that Eric and I worked on last year for some club nights we did together.
Boston VS. HMA feat. DJ FITS - More Than A Feeling (Remix)
I looked out this morning and the sun was goneTurned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
Rest In Peace Brad.

man, somehow that songs hits a little bit harder now that he's dead.
Now if only bullshit hipster ironic love of this kind of music would die.

Do you ever read my posts? I have written gushing posts about bands like Camel, APP, Barbra Streisand, Steeleye Span...
Hardly hipster fare, don't you think? Maybe you're hipper than I am, so you can diss what I and many others love, the glorious sound of '70s FM rock.
Guess your too cool to think anyone else would be sad. Except you.
I am unabashedly un-ironic about my love of bands like Boston. But whatever.
Someone as cool, hip and ironic as you, will never get it.
what about sincere hipster love for this kind of music? such a thing is possible.
I know I lost my virginities to Boston at least 4 times... sincerely.
Terry,
My comment wasn't actually directed at you then, was it? I was specifically talking about the kind of hipsters who only like this sort of thing in an ironic way. If you really do like this sort of thing, then more power to you.
But thanks for getting defensive anyway.

RIP Brad, I can still smell the weed in the shag carpet of my neighbors rec room while we hung out and combed out our feathered hair, ditto on the virginity..or was that loverboy?
If ever a human voice could make you think of being taken away in a guitar-shaped rocket to the stars, it was Delp's.
And be gentle with the ironic hipster appreciation. Often an "ironic" appreciation is a necessary precursor to a simple unabashed enjoyment. There comes a point in the lives of most hipsters where they must confront the fact that they're not really watching the Flintstones as part of a postmodern critique of pop culture, they're actually just watching the motherfucking Flintstones.
As a kid, all my appreciation of pop music was unironic, in my early twenties it became defensively "ironic," and now it's back to where it started.
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
I thought it was universally accepted that Boston was beyond reproach.
People say they like certain music as "ironic" because they are scared that their friends will give them shit for their taste in music. I have been getting grief all my life for stuff I like and I try not to take it personal. I think saying "I think I like it" should be all the justification needed. An examination of my I-Pod would include music recorded for the past 75 yrars, including a couple Boston bootlegs I downloaded a couple months ago).
Brad with Boston is important to the history of Rock-n-roll.You'll be missed Brad.
The multi-millionaires of Boston surely don't give a shit if anyone's appreciation of their music is ironic or sincere. Why should you?

Are they really multimillionaires? Seems like the only people to make money off of Classic Rock are those who own the recordings (Sony?) and whomever own the publish (often not the band).
"I closed my eyes and I slipped away"... his family just announced his death was a suicide. How very sad. I played "Hitch A Ride" last Saturday afternoon on KEXP, in-between a Midlake and Wolfmother song. I was very surprised with all the positive comments I heard from folks listening (a couple mentioned that they had to double check that they were still listening to the right station). That first Boston album has always held a special place in my musical heart.
Excellent web site
I will visit it often.
