Here's an AP story out of New Hampshire with the continuing saga of Boston, Tom Scholz, Brad Delp and all the rest. It ain't pretty. But for Delp's suicide, though, it would seem pretty standard rock'roll crap, the usual backstabbing and bickering. People don't kill themselves over this, not if they're thinking clearly.


Standard rock & roll crap ? Maybe you're reading a different version of the article than me.
I don't think Boston fans thought this was "standard R&R crap" last week & were devasted & shocked by what happened. Then to have prior members & the victim's ex to punblically attack the band's founder while he is grieving was unbelievable.
Sorry if this was business as usual for you, but it was a lot more for many Boston fans.

Sounds like Miki Delp is Boston's Yoko...

George, I think you misunderstood me. The band backstabbing and infighting over the years - who's in and who's out and who gets to be on the reunion tours - is what I was referring to as standard rock and roll crap. Look at Van Halen on the week of their rock hall of fame induction for relevant example. Delp's suicide and what has happened since is not at all normal.
