Andrew Beaujon apparently thinks the musicians the surviving members of Boston choose to perform with have to satisfy some kind of pretentious "cool-o-meter." A cool-o-meter reading that's defined by Mr. Beaujon or other arrogant nobodys like him. Personally, I could give a shit less if Boston chooses a former Stryper singer or anyone else they choose to tour with. If they've got pipes and bring some talent to the stage, who gives a fark what god they worship or if they had teased hair back in the 80's? It's all about the music, OBVIOUSLY. Your snotty critique is completely devoid of any objective or fair evaluation of the group's music with these new members. To you, it's all about "image." Honestly, if you're so interested in honoring Delp's memory, do you really think *he* would disapprove of who Boston chooses to perform with? If you know what Delp was really like when he was alive, then you'd know that he'd be happy for Boston whatever road they chose to travel after his passing. In the meantime cool breeze, have fun posing in front of the mirror with that constipated look.

First -- if you think his soul is now "RIP" you are very badly mistaken. Second -- one of the most frustrating things is trying to reach out to his friend and bandmate Barry only to have him ignore your letter. What if what I'm saying is correct? Well, I've moved on to other means of obtaining closure for Brad, but that pain of being ignored still sits there. You really have no idea what Brad's soul is feeling, but I do. Barry you might be famous, but you sure as the heck don't have the answer.

Sara and others,
I wonder if you realize the judgemental tone of your letter ? I hope it was unintentional. I know it can be a hard lesson to apply when emotions are in play, but please, please, let's not speak ill of the dead. Because the truth is we "never really know". Brad was my friend and I knew him well enough to know that he had his reasons. And although at the time, those reasons perhaps wouldn't have made sense to you or me, obviously it's done. The seed of Compassion is Humility.
Let's plant some.

Casey-

That could very well be because it's considered a sin to kill yourself. How do you think his family feels having to live their lives without their husband/father and the public who must have enjoyed his music? Oh well. At least there are other musicians out there, but this family only had him!

Even in the Great Beyond, Delp can't find "Peace of Mind." God, I can't believe I just typed that. And I'm hitting *submit,* too.
