Musicians React to Boston Terror Attack

I'm depressed. The news out of Boston is horrific and I'm just fed up. It seems like you can't do anything fun anymore. There's always some asshat lurking around every corner, trying to cause mayhem and destruction. We push forward because we don't let terrorists win, but constant streams of bad news are exhausting... and some of the photos of the victims at the Boston Marathon finish line are just plain horrific.

Lots of bands/musicians sent out their thoughts on Twitter yesterday.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Boston today.

We have friends that live out that way. So far as we know everyone is alright. Very sad!!!! MUCH PRAYERS!!!

My heart and prayers go out to the fallen, their loved ones and friends as well as the good people of Boston and our great Country AND the World.

We must all band together now more than ever to continue the fight against bombs, assault weapons and extended magazine clips. Background checks are a start. Let's hope all of the surveillance cameras, plus both amateur and professional video and photography, will help the FBI, local, national AND international authorities find the EVIL person(s) who committed this horrific crime.

Stop the Violence! Begin the Vigilance!

p.s. It's nice to see these tweets but, obviously, it would be really moving to see Aerosmith, Boston, The Cars (with Ocasek), Extreme and other Boston acts, when the time is right, play a benefit at Boston Garden or Foxboro to raise money for the victims and their families. Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots could underwrite it and get the players involved.

Being from and going to school daily here in Boston is surreal! Thanks to all that send their prayers and well wishes to my city!
