AEROSMITH: BOSTON’S BAD BOYS
Before Boston burst out, when J. Geils was still light years away from growing to gargantuan proportions, Aerosmith’s exuberant arrogance was reinstating Boston’s place of honor on the rock ’n’ roll map. Never mind that Aerosmith’s lead singer was in reality a New York-raised kid born with the unlikely name of Steven Tallerico — as Steve Tyler, he led a merry band of self-styled rogues to blaring, heroic accomplishments.

Before Boston burst out, when J. Geils was still light years away from growing to gargantuan proportions, Aerosmith’s exuberant arrogance was reinstating Boston’s place of honor on the rock ’n’ roll map. Never mind that Aerosmith’s lead singer was in reality a New York-raised kid born with the unlikely name of Steven Tallerico — as Steve Tyler, he led a merry band of self-styled rogues to blaring, heroic accomplishments. That now, more than two years after the group was given up for dead, Aerosmith managed to release the moderately-selling Rock In A Hard Place, and support the LP with a national tour, is further proof of its refusal to quietly settle for some dusty place in history.
