"There is a PARTY Monday, May 22, to celebrate the release of VH1's new movie, "It's Only Rock & Roll". It is being held at Mount Blue restaurant in Norwood, MA, and OUR guys have been invited to attend. Since it was fairly last-minute, it looks like Tom Scholz will be attending, but Brad & the others won't be able to make it.

It's expected that Tom will also be signing a guitar to be auctioned to support music education in public schools, as part of VH1's ongoing commitment to the Save The Music Foundation." The first official screening will be tomorrow (Tuesday) at the new Showcase Cinemas in Revere, MA. The film features rock's most memorable moments in the movies -- more info available at VH1.com."

A live track from BOSTON will be included on an upcoming charity album to be released by classic rock station WZLX in Boston. The BOSTON track is "Livin' For You," recorded June 2, 1995 at Kingswood Music Theatre in Toronto.

The album, titled "WZLX: From The Vaults," will benefit Franciscan Children's Hospital in Boston and The Walden Woods Project. The album will feature live tracks from a number of major artists, including Don Henley, Steve Miller, Aerosmith, The Allman Brothers, and others. Release is planned for September, and distribution will be limited.

Further information will be available at www.WZLX.com later this summer.

Boston on "Space Ghost Coast To Coast"
On Friday, November 19, at 11pm EST on the Cartoon Network, Boston will be featured on "Space Ghost Coast To Coast".  The show will feature one of the characters flying the Boston spaceship while "Cool The Engines" plays.  Also, word has it that during the 60 seconds of credits, a Boston song clip will play.  COOL!

Just an update about the album.  Rumor has it that Brad and Fran are in the studio this week.  This is very encouraging news (considering BOSTON has a reputation of having albums 6 years or more apart!).

David Sikes (bass/vocals) is OUT of the band.  I will not go into any detail, but Tom Scholz's lawyers have asked David to leave the band (to find out more about David, just check out the Bio section).

Not much new with Boston.  Tom is still in the studio working on new material.  Great news for Brad Delp fans...Brad is doing some more work with Tom!  No news yet on when the album will be released.  Let's hope it's REAL soon!

Wednesday, September 3rd marks Fran Cosmo's birthday. Let's hope it's a fun and safe one!

Brad called the gang at Bostock '99.  He informed them that Tom IS working on the album, but he's delayed while his roof is being worked on.  There is also a GREAT possibility that Brad will work on some more songs for the album.  As far as touring, there's hope for one next summer, only if the new album is out by then (as we ALL hope it will be out WAY before then).
