Aerosmith was in town last night with their Cocked, Locked, Ready to Rock Tour and what a show they put on! It was interesting to see who their audience was: the ages ranged from teeny-bopper to much older. It didn't matter the age, however, everyone knew the words to all the songs! This band is celebrating its' fortieth anniversary! Steven Tyler's voice shows no signs of letting up at the age of sixty-two and he still struts his stuff like no one else can. The musicians backing him all have grey hair but they still rock! Tyler runs up and down the stage with the energy of someone half his age and still flirts with his female fans along the front row (most of whom are a quarter of his age!). They performed for a solid two hours. I don't know what keeps these aging bands so popular, but I hope they never quit rocking! There doesn't seem to be anyone stepping up to take over from them, and they don't seem ready to hand over the stage to anyone else yet. Reliving your youth, as you and the rock band age together (and bring everyone else along for the ride) . . . . it's a good thing!
