I just heard that Brad Delp of Boston was found dead. As I mentioned here, despite the fact that the band may have singularly personified everything that Punk Rock sought to destroy, I absolutely love that first Boston record (although, again, the title track to their second album, Don't Look Back is far and away their finest hour). They may not have been the hippest band around (see photo below for ample evidence of same), but along with Kiss and Queen, Boston's music defines the 70's for me. I'm not sure how or why Delp died (though there is no indication of foul play), but it's a sad loss all the same. Beers aloft for Brad.
