The Simpsons Artist Lance Wilder Honors BOSTON
March 5, 2009, 15 years ago
Legendary rockers BOSTON have issued the following:
"At our show in Los Angeles this summer, The Simpsons artist Lance Wilder generously gifted each band member with this Boston-ized Simpsons cartoon, with the following note...""To the members of Boston:
I grew up in Chelmsford, Mass, attended the Rhode Island School of Design, and landed the dream job of designing The Simpsons immediately following graduation in 1990. Boston has always by far been one of my favorite bands, and has literally helped me through 1000's of hours while sitting at the old drawing board over the years.
I had the privilege of meeting Brad Delp back in the spring of 2000 and many times after that through his band Beatlejuice. The last time I saw Brad, we discussed my doing a funny-cool Simpsons/Boston piece. He laughed and said, 'Oh man, that'd be great - everybody in the band would love that.'
I hope you like it! It's the least I can do for all the great music over the years and I hope for many years to come! God bless you, your families and all your future endeavors!
Your Fan - Lance Wilder (and all the Boston Fans here on The Simpsons)."
