Tom Scholz Is An Animal Loving Vegetarian

Tom Scholz, the founder and primary musician for the rock band Boston, is a diehard vegan for over twenty years. On Boston's last four Cds "Third Stage", "Walk On", "Greatest Hits" and "Corporate America", Scholz has accentuated the band's commitment to animal rights and vegetarianism in the linear notes. They oppose hunting, slaugherhouses, child abuse, domestic abuse and all forms of cruelty against animals. I have seen Boston in concert three times. In a live setting Tom Scholz is an amazing guitarist and keyboard wizard. He has wriiten the bands greatest songs. Lamentably, lead vocalist, Brad Delp, took his life in early 2007. Delp was a superlative vocalist, a compassionate person and an animal-loving vegetarian for the last thirty years of his life. My favorite Boston CDs are "Don't Look Back", "Thirdstage" and "Corporate America". My favorite songs are "Higher Power", "A Man I'll Never Be"and "Corporate America". Scholz has donated millions of dollars to help the homeless, unfortunate children and animal welfare organizations.
