JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum RIP Brad Delp

I heard the news on the radio.
The DJ's honored Brad by saying, "The reason no one can EVER cover Boston... is Brad Delp's amazing vocals."

Sad to lose one more talented artist.

Even sadder this way. Just read the article.

Folks.... please.... *do* get medication and help for depression.
Bad feelings about yourself, poor self-worth, loss of motivation, especially "purpose" or the will to live... there is help out there, as simple as a phone call away--to your doctor or a friend (shoot, even a stranger).

If you have friends who mention loss of purpose or will to live or who talk about 'thinking about' suicide--*please*--by all means take them seriously... and encourage them toward medication and/or therapy.

I'm not making any judgments here... just empathy for what his family must be going through, and sadness that he felt so bad about his life... when so many, many people loved him. We lost a dear friend to suicide last summer, and it's just... so painful.
