BACK TO THE FUTURE

Brad and I are still recording music about the same as always, overdubbing our parts, but now we have important, real artistic contribution from new, enthusiastic musicians who are also some of the nicest people I've met. The wealth of fan-supplied info on this site filled a void for us with internet users, but the misleading parts and commentary has been unfair to us, and an additional burden to the band, in an already tough business. Some of it benefits individuals hostile to BOSTON, and we, the band, really have to ask that it be removed or corrected.

The first 2 BOSTON albums are bright spots in the distant past, and it's gratifying to know that they are still appreciated. I'm personally proud of them because they were the result of a dream I once had, along with 10 years of hard work. But now it's time to bury mythological history.

Musically there is no point in trying to mimic the past. What comes next must necessarily be different in order to be art. This is the end of a chapter; it's time to write a new one, "Corporate America."

Tom Scholz, for the band BOSTON
