This was published in the Boston Herald:
Tom Scholz of Boston fame has More Than a Feeling about recent bandmate Anthony Migliacco using his affiliation with the vintage rock band, so he’s filed suit against him in Suffolk Superior Court!
Apparently, Migliacco, aka Anthony Cosmo, has been touting his stage work with the classic band - despite signing an agreement that he wouldn’t do so. But what really has Scholz Smokin’ is that Migliacco allegedly billed he and his dad, Francis, who also played with the late 1990’s version of Boston, as the classic Hub band when they played a gig in St. Croix earlier this month.
Migs, according to the Boston Business Journal, said the agreement is null and void. Scholz’s legal counsel disagrees.
“Tom Scholz owns the trademark, the name, and there’s a lot of value to that, and he wants to protect the value,” Susan Stenger of Burns & Levinson told the BBJ.
The suit, filed last month, seeks to enforce the agreement and collect legal fees.
As always, do stay tuned

Iceberg Radio posted the news on The Tom/Kim, Brad/Pamela engagements, along with some new info:
Boston leaders Tom Scholz and Brad Delp both got engaged over the holidays. Guitarist/producer/songwriter Scholz proposed to his girlfriend Kim Hart on Christmas Eve, and singer Delp proposed to his girlfriend Pamela Sullivan on Christmas Day.
Before Delp proposed, he put the ring in his girlfriend's Christmas stocking, and when she found it, he got down on one knee and proposed to her sister, saying, "Will you be my sister-in-law?"
Scholz will be married this week in an undisclosed location. Delp is planning to get married on a two-day break from Boston's upcoming summer tour, which is now in the planning stages.

During the Christmas at the Palace Theatre, which aired on WZID 95.7, Kimberley Dahme and Brad Delp performed. After Brad performed Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime and John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over), Brad was asked if Boston plans to tour in 2007.
Here's a transcript of what Brad said:
Host: ...before we let you leave the stage, Brad Delp, we need to know, we need to know, is Boston coming back for another tour anytime soon? Your fans wanna know, I'm sure.
Brad: I heard rumors to that effect -- we played not too long ago at Symphony Hall for Doug Flutie's retirement party, and the gig went so well, Tom was very pleased, and so actually -- tell a secret, we have rehearsal this Saturday. Looks like we may be going out this summer folks, so that means Beatlejuice takes a small hiatus, but I'm so lucky that I get to do things that I love -- you know i love -- obviously singing the Beatle songs and the fact that after all these years people still wanna come out and see Boston, that means a lot to us.
Host: 30 years, isn't it, Brad?
Brad: Yes it is 30, but my hair -- it used to be not grey, I think when we started.
Host: You used to have that fro that we just follow you around on stage, right?
Brad: That was the other guy -- well actually I had one too, but that was, yeah, that was Sibby. So I guess the short answer to your question would be yes.
Well, Brad said it, I guess we'll have to hold him to it!
By the way, if you missed the show, you can hear the Brad and Kimberley performances in the audio section. It features Kimberley and Brad singing two songs each, plus guest performances.

If you visit this site regularly, you may have noticed that the look of this site has changed somewhat.
While it isn't a drastic change, there have been some design changes made, most notably:
- Improved navigation, which not only looks better, but allows you access to certain content quicker (ie, lyrics)
- New table layout with rounded corners
- More graphics employed, specifically with news. All news posts have an icon which will show what type of news post it is (ie, a post with an icon of Barry Goudreau will indicate that it's a Barry related post)
I've been working on this redesign since October and have spent countless hours tweaking, not to mention converting content to work with the new design. I'm already trying to come up with ideas for a more improved look. I'm currently working on getting more content completed as well, like the entries in the Related Artists section as well as rewriting bios.
Hope you like the new look!
