Before Boston became one of the bestselling classic rock bands in history, known for such massive hits as "More Than a Feeling" and "Don't Look Back," Scholz was already a success — but not musically. The multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, who graduated with a master's degree in engineering from MIT, was working for Polaroid and doing just fine, but his career wasn't the one he dreamed about.
"In 1974, I basically blew all of my money," he recalled.
The songs that came out of those basement recording sessions turned out to be some of Boston's biggest hits, including "Rock n Roll Band," "Hitch a Ride," "Don’t Be Afraid," and the rocking "Peace of Mind," which expressed Scholz's frustrations with "climbing the corporate ladder," as he put it:
I understand about indecisionBut I don't care if I get behindPeople livin' in competitionAll I want is to have my peace of mind
'Peace of Mind' is still considered one of Boston's best songs
Years later, Scholz reflected on the "huge gamble" he made when he spent all his money on a basement recording studio.
Clearly, Scholz's gamble paid off...and he never had to climb the corporate ladder again.
