THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 5, 2025 Page 7 and your family in the future, but I know you ain’t gonna disappear on us (like many others have in the past). And I know for a stonecold FACT, Malden will miss you. • Maldonia! Have you heard the song “24 Kenmore Road” yet? No? Well, you should! Malden High School Class of 1971’s Danny Pallotta’s heartfelt ode to the street he grew up on is a wonderful tribute to timeless memories. Listen to it on Facebook! Much like Mikey, you’ll like it!! • Apropos of nothing... Michael Boyle! I hear tell you met an adopted son of Malden recently. Somerville’s Mike “Hammer” Hamilton mentioned he ran into you and you two exchanged “who knows who” stories. Good people that Hammer! Next time you’re in Malden, Mr. Boyle, you best let us know so we can exchange pleasantries and maybe an adult beverage or two. • Malden, in case you forgot, Mike was an outstanding athlete at MHS and graduated in 1977 along with many other fine athletes! His family contributed much to the success of present-day Malden. His dad (Arthur) was a beloved Principal, and his moms (Peg) was on the school committee, which doesn’t even begin to properly explain the impact his whole family made on Malden. Today Mike is an internationally recognized strength and conditioning coach, known specifically for his expertise in functional training. He cofounded Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning (MBSC) and has held significant coaching positions with Boston University, the Boston Bruins and the Boston Red Sox, with whom he won a World Series in 2013. Keep making Malden proud, Mike! • A recent article featured the 1929 undefeated Lincoln Junior High football team and their mini dynasty. Also mentioned was the late Suffolk Square with their large Jewish population. Most famous SS resident? Lisbon Street’s Norman “Spirit in the Sky” Greenbaum? If you have another popular SS resident, please send it my way. Okay, maybe the Ames Brothers also. • Congratulations to an adopted Son of Malden, Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt, on his first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance. The song “Changes” (Live from Villa Park/ Back to the Beginning) earned the nod along with newest rock sensation Yungblud (well, I think he is anyway!), Frank Bello and Adam Wakeman II. Nuno is so deserving of this nomination, and this should have happened multiple times over his long career. Anybody who has ever witnessed Nuno play in person knows of what I speak. And on a personal note, I can attest that NB is one of the most wonderful humans walking Planet Earth at this time. Congrats again, dude! • I jinxed old friend Johnny Bionelli (Emerald Street boy who grew up to be Aerosmith’s Road Manager and, on occasion, worked as Ringo Starr’s manager also) when I mentioned that he was still playing ice hockey at age 61. Shortly after that article printed, JB sent me a photo from Hades. He had pulled a hammy MUSINGS| SEE PAGE 16 Lawrence A.
