He was so considerate, he left warning notes to the first responders that he took his life by CO asphyxiation. It was very sad news indeed for the area in which he lived and for his fans, as he was still playing live music often.<br /><br />Tom Scholz on the other hand is a real piece of work by most accounts. He's still suing other band members, Delp's family and anyone else who dares to look upon him.<br /><br />Funny thing is that as big as their first album was, internal strife (Scholz) made them miss catching the wave they had and the length of time between albums 2 and on tossed them into the one hit (well many hits on one album) category of Boston Rock history.<br /><br />Nice Dead Milkmen reference, intentional or not.Eli the Ice mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-64745470604298125682010-06-08T17:30:23.177-05:002010-06-08T17:30:23.177-05:00AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH...running, screaming through the h...AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH...running, screaming through the house!!!steff66noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-9381349585592487522010-06-08T00:28:17.308-05:002010-06-08T00:28:17.308-05:00The bats have left the bell tower... *wink" @...The bats have left the bell tower... *wink" @ Steff. <br /><br />AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-7656323186008767182010-06-07T21:43:25.010-05:002010-06-07T21:43:25.010-05:00Ummm...yeah about that car, a not-heard-on-radio s...Ummm...yeah about that car, a not-heard-on-radio song, goat mountain...and thinking I was gonna DIE!!!steff66noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-9553094753986438022010-06-07T18:26:28.141-05:002010-06-07T18:26:28.141-05:00Hellz yeah Phlegmmy...AMEN!!Hellz yeah Phlegmmy...AMEN!!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129727929506274026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-29370431505833619122010-06-07T18:17:29.977-05:002010-06-07T18:17:29.977-05:00It is truly sad when one's mind thinks that su...It is truly sad when one's mind thinks that suicide is the best solution.

Do the same thing with a bottle of pills, and you're a dangerous nutcase. Sad thing is that both are signs of something lurking that needs some attention, which can mean a little professional help, including some medications. <br /><br />Bleh.
