Boston shoot down Huckabee

The founder of soft rock heroes Boston, Tom

Sholz, is angry that Mike Huckabee is using

their classic track, More Than a Feeling,

in his campaign. "Boston has never endorsed

a political candidate", he says, "and with

all due respect, would not start by endorsing

a candidate who is the polar opposite of

most everything Boston stands for. In fact,

although I'm impressed you learned my bass

guitar part on More Than a Feeling, I am an

Obama supporter."

Boston Stuff you should know:

1. More Than a Feeling" took five years to write.

2. Scholz credits Walk Away Renee by The Left

Banke as the song's inspiration.

3. Scholz also invented the Rockman Guitar Amp.

4. More Than A Feeling can be heard in Close

Encounters of the Third Kind, when a car pulls

up to McDonald's as the UFOs cause power outage

5. Popbitch once made a very limited edition

cover of the track. Sadly our studio time

was cut short due to our managing to offend

a well-known rap star at the time.

6. Scholtz' charitable foundation has

raised millions of dollars for animals,

homeless shelters and children's rights.
