I've both met him and know people who have close relations with Steven Tyler and have experienced/heard nothing but good things. Gracious, generous, and one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet.

Joe Perry on the other hand . . .

Is that right?

My vague understanding was that he, like many lead singers, is a major prima donna. If that's not the case, great.

I know nothing of Joe Perry other than the addiction business. We did see The Joe Perry Project in '85, I think, when Aerosmith had briefly disbanded. Bayside Expo.

Live albums don't do much for me, but assuming this is the live version of "Sweet Jane" they used to play on BCN, it's my favorite.

Cowboy Junkies - remember them? - recorded an interesting version as well.

Love the Eagles. But, they were never easy to like.

You two are forcing me to post some Eagles and Eagles related tunes. As I am at work at present, there will be a brief respite.

Even so, a promise is a promise. The tunes will follow.

I never really got into OMD, but what I heard, I liked. My architect brother Bob was a fan back in the '80s. Probably still is.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Exactly how I feel.

Could never get very into them, but this song is very special. Considering it was mostly written by a guy in the band who didn’t do much other writing (Randy Meisner), I guess that’s fairly revealing.

I did not see Wally's post, and I posted before learning the reason behind their permanent retirement from touring.

My apologies.

Aerosmith permanently retires from touring: 'Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true'

The band released a statement on social media Friday citing frontman Steven Tyler’s vocal injury as the reason behind their retirement.

I never did get to see them play live.

Aerosmith announced their permanent retirement yesterday and canceled all remaining shows. I had tickets to see them play in upstate New York several years back, but the tour was canceled after Steven Tyler flung himself off stage and separated his shoulder.

I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

Music can have a profound impact on one’s life. For me, music has always spoken to me in a special way, and I’ve been able to connect with people and events through song lyrics.

I’ve had friends and colleagues be amazed at how I can think of a song lyrics on the spot that perfectly encapsulates a given situation. Sometimes people don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, and I get that.

In the case of Aerosmith, they’ll always represent the bond between a father and a son and how music plays a part in that story. I spent a lot of nights listening to “Get Your Wings” and “Rocks” on my parents’ record player.

Those are happy memories.

Music is powerful.

It can unlock sad or happy memories.

You can be overcome by joy or by pain.

Husker Du is one of my all time favorite bands. As a kid growing up in the Midwest in the 70s and early 80s, they were my little secret. The first Punk Rock show I ever saw was them playing at the 7th St Entry in Minneapolis, around 1984.

Little known Bob Mould Fact: He wrote the theme song for the Daily Show on Comedy Central. Its called Dog on Fire.....My oldest son used to dance to it when he was just learning to walk. Here's the original version. I wish Comedy Central hadn't f***ed it up..

Thank you.

I was aware but not familiar with Husker Du at the time.

I bought Songbook when it came out, and was disappointed.

Loved Black Sheets of Rain and Copper Blue.

Big fan of The Replacements.

Saw them at the Opera House here in Boston. Don't Tell a Soul, their last, sad gasp.

PS All Shook Down (1990), Paul Westerberg's solo debut in all but name, is a great record too,
