RSSLazy Linking: Three Boston Videos
Tyler Hudson: 12 Year Old Drum Prodigy
While I can’t prove the kid is from Boston, it looks like his band plays all over the Boston Area, so I’m claiming him as our own. The video is compilation of the Tyler drumming from age 2 until age 11. It’s pretty incredible.
Dunkin Donuts Commercial Starring Ace Frehley
There is nothing more Boston than Dunkin Donuts. I laugh every time I see this ad, although I wish that Ace had said, “I’ll give you the P&L Statement, baby!” It almost sounds like he wanted to say it, but didn’t.
Ernie Boch Jr. on Rescue Me
#1GF! and I were watching an episode of Rescue Me in which a police chief stepped up to the mic in the background of a scene. You only saw him for four seconds, but you could hear him for most of the scene.
I went into a mini fit.
Me: That’s… thats…
#1GF!: What?? What??
Me: [hits pause and starts waving wildly]
#1GF!: WHAT?
Me: gaaaaaaherniebockjunior. It’s Ernie Boch Jr. The chief. It is. I know it is.
#1GF!: That would be funny if you’re right.
Well, I was. The uncredited police chief was none other than Boston’s car dealership mogul, Ernie Boch Jr.

The Ace Freeley is the best! Now if they could only include the KISS coffin in the next commercial, that would RAWK.

The bio on tylerhudson.com says he grew up in the Boston area, so you’re good as gold claiming he’s from there.
That kid is pretty awesome. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here.

you need to find the clip from scrubs where jim (james) sokalov plays an attorney. it was on towards the end of this season. i had the same reaction to seeing jim sokalov that you had to seeing ernie boch jr, though i had nobody to share it with. i don’t know if he’s from boston but he had ads on channel 38 for YEARS!!

I tried finding that scrubs clip, but it’s not on the interwebs that I can find. If you find it, let me know.
Wee have the new Kiss Civic in stock at the Ernie Boch Showplace so COME ON DOWN!
