No I saw this in the Boston Herald this morning. It specifically mentions Marzilli amongst other F*&k ups. It’s newsworthy. When Marzilli goes I’m sure these stories will stop. Rather than poo-pooing my post why not call Terry and tell her to strip Marzilli of his chairmanship and save the Citizen’s of Massachusetts $3750 since the lege won’t be in session anyway.

That a band had part of line of a song that was impromptu for a local magazine (not in any disk) that mentioned “Senator from Arlington”.

p>It might be something that some MA GOPer’s e-mail each other, but newsworthy? No. Ode? No.

he said newsworthy, not me …

p>I just said it wasn’t an ode. correct?

It says “ode” is a “lyric poem of some length” so without reading further I’d day you’re right.

p>I guess I would have to call it an ironic homage, and, implicitly, a stinging criticism of Beacon Hill, which has been excessively silent, Wendy Murphy notwithstanding.
But I did like “Boston” in its day. And you don’t have to see Steve Tyl-ah aging like ____________(fill in the blank).

Steve Tyler met Joe Perry in Sunapee New Hampshire in 1968/1969 where Joe was playing in a band with bassist Tom Hamilton and a drummer named Pudge Scott. Of course, Tyler, Perry, and Hamilton are still in Aerosmith 40 years later.

p>They did come down to Boston and join up with Joey Kramer Ray Tabano, and their first band practices were held in the basement of some building at Boston University.

I think few would dispute that Aerosmith would rank higher on the all-time list of Boston’s Best Bands, but what is Boston’s best band that is relevant to new music in 2008?
<
p>I know Aerosmith still tours and occasionally releases new records – and I hope they never stop – but they’re the elder statesmen now. Unless they come out with a phenomenal new record or all the younger musical talent in Boston dries up completely, Aersomtih can’t claim the Active BBB mantle because they are living off their past hits while the Murphys are living off new music.
<
p>I think a good analogy might be that Curt Schilling is the best all-time Red Sox pitcher on the roster (I know he’s out for the season), but Josh Beckett is currently the best pitcher on the Sox staff. Clearly, Schilling has accomplished a lot more and, right now, would be chosen for the Hall of Fame before Beckett. But Beckett still has a lot of great games left in him the same way younger bands have far more songs in them then older acts.
It’s a song specifically about Marzilli? Really?
<
p>Hey, did Barney file this?
<
p>File under dumb post….

And a pretty good song, too. Thanks, EaBo!
but that’s pretty damn funny.
But still funny as hell.

p>As much as I like the Murphys, it is a little sad that after all these years they still qualify as “Boston’s Best Band.”
That would be J. Geils.
If you’re calling these Boston’s Best Band, then ask yourself,
Where is your mind?
where is your choice?
was “The Rings”. Not widely known, one album, early 80’s.
And let’s not forget Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers.
its Jonathan RICHMAN …..not Richmond.
<
p>Roadrunner rules!
yeah, they were great! They actually had two albums, The Rings, and The Rhythm Method, both from 1981.
and it’s a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…
No contest.
