Update on the fate of Aerosmith

Last night, Joe Perry performed a show in NYC. Steven Tyler got up on stage with him and claimed, "New York, I want you to know.... I am not leaving Aerosmith." Then he said something about Joe Perry being a man of many colors, but he was the MF rainbow! Okay, I could have done without that last comment, but that's Steven, baby! I'm just happy that he's not leaving the band. I'm sorry, Joe, but there is no replacing Steven. You see how well things have worked out for Van Halen, right? I mean, Hagar has SOME fans, but there was never really a replacement for DL Roth.

Steven also went on to say:

"You know what it is, it's those people who are putting out his album. Joe's doing a solo album. So people are paying attention to that."

Yes, Joe is currently out promoting his new album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel", which came out last month.

Steven also said that he too is working on a solo record, but we've heard that before... maybe it's true this time as he is booking solo gigs. We shall see.

Here's the video of Steven on stage last night with the band:

STEVEN TYLER IS NOT LEAVING AEROSMITH:

It's been pretty obvious lately that Joe Perry is frustrated with Steven Tyler who caused Aerosmith to shut down their tour when he fell off a stage and broke his shoulder. For a little while, no one was sure if he was actually leaving Aerosmith. Even the other members of the band didn't have a defenite answer. Well we have one now.

Tuesday night Tyler made a surprise appearance at the Joe Perry Project, at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza. Tyler told the crowd, “I just want New York — New York, I just want you to know I am not leaving Aerosmith."

Meat Hands

Yes, seeing those two words together like that certainly raises suspicions, doesn't it? What kind of image comes to mind? A scene from a creepy horror flick? Perhaps a slang term for a crippling disease?

Or maybe...dinner??

That's right. Just in time for Halloween, a woman has figured out how you can make your family a nutritious meal of mashed potatoes, kale...and a severed hand. It's actually an ingenious undertaking (pun intended). She took a mold of a hand, filled it with meatloaf mixture, then tried several different methods of preparing it - adding onion shavings for fingernails, an onion center for the wrist bone, even topping it with cheese and ketchup to give it that burned, shrivelled, grotesque look that every home-baked body part should have.

Now, don't get me wrong - I love creativity. I'm quite a creative sort, myself; that's why I'm in radio, fer cryin' out loud. But I'm still not sure if this is really cool or simply really disturbing. Check out this link, which includes not only pictures, but the whole method behind her (obivous?) madness) - and ask yourself: even if you LOVE meatloaf (as I do)...would YOU eat it?

PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THEIR LIMITS

Hey y'all.....

I am a big believer in doing what you are good at. If you want to pursue something for the sheer joy of doing it, fine, but it should be a hobby. I have many of those pursuits. I sing, I paint and would love to someday get into Personal Training. (Yes, of people. I know... many people find that shocking as well.) But these things are not my profession. I know what I'm good at. I've been in radio for quite sometime now and if I can't tell you what the weather is going to be in :12 seconds or less, I ought to turn in my "Secret Broadcaster Club" keys to the Head Radio POO-bah.

Lots of things land on my desk and today, a "radio promo" copy of Rob Halford's CHRISTMAS CD dropped in my lap.

First, I would like to show you a picture of the cover that I took with my cell phone:














Okay... now... here's my face as I was listening to the CD: (I don't know why my eyes look like that, by the way)



WOW! Major STINK-AGE! It's awful... And I love all kinds of music, but this... Holy BAD, BAD, BAD!!

Halford. Please. Let me keep my memories of you in those leather pants in the early 80's to my grave. Don't do this stuff. It doesn't suit you, Dude.

I leave you to ponder this of our Rob.... Not the Christmas stuff. Forget I ever mentioned it:
