Tom Scholz is a Freemason and Boston lyrics and album covers...
are filled with Masonic references!

Not really, but it's a good lie
because
Mason = white guy
and I am hard pressed to think of any band more "white guy" than Boston

2. You don't need to make up rumors about Boston. The reality is crazy enough.
A band led by an MIT graduate who also invented the Polaroid One Step camera. Who replaced one of the greatest vocalists in rock history with a guy who posted karaoke clips on MySpace, and hires his replacement guitar players from Sammy Hagar and Stryper.

Sure loved them back in the day though.......

5. A friend of mine who grew up on punk and post punk...
and considered "Boston to be the enemy"
saw Delp's Beatles band a couple of years before his tragic death
and was completely blown away by the man's talent

4. Here's some really early Boston stuff
Definitely before they came up with the signature "Boston sound". Delp is easily recognizable here, but the rest of the band sounds like The James Gang on the first part and changes into Zeppelin about half way through........

7. Early Chicago wasn't really all that "white"
Terry Kath sang a lot like Ray Charles, and that percussion solo at the end of "Beginnings" could have fit just as easily on a Santana album of the same era. Peter Cetera was pretty much the "white guy" though.

8. You're wrong about Freemason= whiteguy. There are lots of
black fellows who are Freemasons here where I live.
