I had to look twice. Scrolling through the headlines, amidst the news from Iraq and the latest from Washington last Saturday was the unbelievable line, "Lead Singer From Boston (music) Found Dead."

The 55-year-old musician was found dead in his Atkinson home early Friday afternoon by police responding to a call for help. He was apparently home alone, said officials, who called his death “untimely” and said there was no indication of foul play.

DANVERS - Yesterday, Robert Raiche recalled the afternoon in the mid-1960s when a group of boys bicycled into his Danvers driveway to ask him for help.
The leader of the pack was young Brad Delp, who asked Raiche, then the Salem YMCA director, to help their fledgling teenage band learn to get along, and get established. Raiche didn't know anything about the music business, but he volunteered himself as manager of The Monks, drove them to their gigs - since they didn't have driver's licenses yet - and watched the group blossom into a local hit.

I was driving south along Interstate 95 on Saturday afternoon when I flipped the dial and landed on Boston's song, "Rock n' Roll Band."
With the thermometer pushing above 40 degrees, I rolled down the window and started traveling down another road, barreling back to my teen years when my best friend Martha and I wore the grooves out on the band's 1976 first album, "Boston." Every song on that record was a hit.

Brad Delp, who died today at 55, sang many more songs than the eight that fill Boston's first album. "Don't Look Back," of course. Some people love "Amanda." No doubt there are even fans of specifics from Corporate America, from 2002, which may or may not prove to be the band's swan song.

A sign on the front of Johnny D's on Friday declared, "Brad, we miss you.'' Inside, someone had put flowers on the empty stage. Delp's group, Beatle Juice, his side project to his more famous singing role in the mega-platinum band Boston, had canceled that night because Delp was found dead in his New Hampshire home during the afternoon of still-unexplained causes.

There aren't many rock stars whose band's debut album sells nearly 20 million copies thanks to eight tracks that continue to get played on rock radio more than 30 years later. And there are even fewer who are so anonymous they could slip by most people unnoticed at the mall or even at one of their own concerts.

Perhaps you're not the biggest fan of '70s superband Boston. Perhaps all you know of them is their contribution to Guitar Hero, "More Than a Feeling," which also happens to be one of the most awesome classic rock songs ever written. Or perhaps you're such a huge Boston fan that you have a painting of the cover of their 1976 debut album on your bedroom wall. Whoever you are, you should be mourning today, as word has come down that Brad Delp, lead singer of the band and a charter member of the Porn Moustache Hall of Fame, has passed away at the age of 55. As of right now, the cause of death is unknown, but authorities do not suspect foul play...which makes sense, really, because who out there really has a vendetta against the lead singer of Boston? Maybe the guy from Kansas?
Anyway, we're sad to hear about all this and, in honor of Delp, we've begun a 24-hour "More Than a Feeling" Guitar Hero marathon. If video games aren't your thing, be sure to pick some Boston the next time you go out for karaoke. Or just watch the YouTube video. Who are we to tell you how to mourn Brad Delp?
