How Old Are You Guys, Five?

I hate he said/she said stories. I really hate he said/he said stories. I especially hate he said/he said stories when the he's in question are in their 60s.

Request to Steven Tyler and Joe Perry - cut the crap.

Is he or isn't he? Is Steven Tyler leaving Aerosmith? Well, get out your scorecards. After Tyler's accident this summer, the word was the band was taking a break. Then Joe Perry started talking, and things started to sound a little different. Next he took to Twitter and started tweeting about "certain band members" leaving. Oh really, who could that be? Steven Tyler's daughter Mia tweets that Joe needs to keep his mouth shut. Tyler himself then shows up at a Joe Perry solo gig in New York and gives Joe a verbal finger, telling him that although Joe's a man of many colors, he, Steven, is the whole effin' rainbow.

Enough. You are both acting like you're in junior high school.

And given the fact that Joe Perry just released a solo album called Have Guitar, Will Travel, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this is just a very poor excuse to get publicity for the CD.

But seriously. Just stop. You're nosediving into Britney and Lindsay territory, and personally, as a longtime fan, I don't want to see you go there. Aerosmith is better than that.
