Joe Perry, guitarist for inarguably the shittiest rock band of all time, endorses McCain. I actually have a lot of respect for Perry and Steven Tyler, who had the courage and the dedication to beat drug addictions. But check out Tucker Bounds’ quote:
Of the rocker’s endorsement, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said: “Joe Perry is an icon of rock-and-roll and a great American. John McCain absolutely appreciates his support.”
A great American? I feel confident in saying I’m actually a greater American than Joe Perry. After all, I never subjected anyone to "Love In An Elevator" and no one had to teach me not to shoot heroin into my balls. You know who’s a great American? Todd fucking Rundgren, that’s who. When a drugged-up Steven Tyler walked out on a pregnant Bebe Buell, Todd agreed to raise another man’s daughter as his own and kept the secret of her paternity until young Liv was 11. Furthermore, the Nazz’s "Open My Eyes" is a million times better than anything in the Aerosmith catalogue. While I can’t find any actual evidence that Todd Rundgren is voting for Obama, chances are he is.

Did Perry do this? Or is it just a little hyperbole?
Great title as always, Spencer. You sure don’t (ahem) miss a thing.
I don’t know…
Dream On is a pretty great song.
Dream On is indeed a great song — so great that I have trouble believing it’s by the same band that’s responsible for the rest of Aerosmith’s catalog.
But look Spencer, it’s fine to attack Joe Perry — but to then invoke Todd Rundgren? This is why the Democrats lose. It’s like criticizing the Bush foreign policy, then going ahead and dropping a few Chomsky quotes.
You go too far, too far. You just don’t know.
That there could even be a shittiest rock band is near to beyond imaging AND to proclaim that one can not argue about it is horrific.
Can’t argue about it?
Blue Cheer
Grand Funk Railroad
The Partridge Family
The Ramones
The Lemon Pipers
Aerosmith is worse than all the bands you cite. And to include the Ramones on such a list discredits you for all time.
Side 4 of Something/Anything has more good music than the entire Aerosmith oeuvre.
that was just to see if you were paying attention.
