I "heart" you , Boston

If I don't take a break from thinking about food, I will accidentally climb into my freezer and eat the frozen Reese's Peanut Butter Cups some one put in there around Halloween. I've lost 9 lbs in the last 3 weeks... I can't screw it up. Thanks for understanding. So in the meantime, I thought a trip down memory lane might be fun.

While leaving exercise class this morning, me and a couple of the other moms were talking about music and old lead singer crushes. It was funny how we all went crazy for some of the same guys. But I will never forget this one- Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston, one of the greatest groups of all time.

I remember, when I was a teenager, taking my Boston album to school so that I'd be able to play it in art class- on a RECORD PLAYER!!. Even the teacher (who was fairly young herself) was singing away with us. This was me, long, long, ago in a teen galaxy far, far, away...


And this is the song that, to this day, I will sing along with in the car and not care who is staring at me.



You turned it up, didn't you..? You're singing along, aren't you..? Don't worry, I can't hear you... Bust out!

Boston's debut LP is still one of my faves and the production quality was so good that it still sounds "modern".

RIP Brad Delp.

I think that we grew up about the same time. So love that song. It's wonderful how you are so motivated to stick to your diet. I really need to move more to lose weight.

OMG! I, too, love Brad Delp. Love him. And I love how stories abound about how he was literally the nicest guy. He brought so much joy to the world.

And, yeah, I totally turned up the volume. My dogs think I'm insane. I think they're just jealous of my air guitar.
