267.0. "Local Rock Star honored by Animal Rescue League" by USDEV1::NDC (Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313) Thu Apr 30 1992 09:26

    I happened to catch a presentation made on WBCN yesterday
    by the Animal Rescue League to Stephen Tyler of AEROSMITH
    for his heroism in rescuing not only his wife and daughter
    from a fire in their home, but for then returning to the
    burning building, against the wishes of the fire department,
    to rescue their cat.

    In light of what's happening in Los Angeles today, this helps restores my
    faith in mankind.
    
    Way to go, Steve.

    Well, Stephen Tyler is a favorite of WBCN's and he and his band
    used to rehearse in the basement of the now-defunct Timothee Two's
    on Route 9 in Framingham. 
    
    From what I've heard, Steve is an ok person and this confirms it.

    I never cared for the guy or the band (don't know why)...but after
    reading what he did for his family and kitty...he's up there
    as one of my heros!!!  The picture I saw of him holding his
    furface after the fire...was priceless!!

267.5He's a really nice guy!!AYRPLN::TAYLORFREE HUGS! 1st come, 1st serve ..Fri May 01 1992 11:418
I've actually MET Steven Tyler.  Two years ago, a friend of mine and I went
to the MTV music awards.  Steven Tyler and the band were in the NEXT ROOM
at the Universal Sheraton.  I saw them in the hallway and was absolutely
dumbfounded!  I finally asked Steve for his autograph and mentioned that I
was from Worcester, MA.  He was a VERY nice guy and talked to me for
a few minutes about massachusetts.

    My husband's first cousin was the P.R. manager for Aerosmith for a
    long time.  She toured with them and everything!  It's really neat to
    talk with her about it.
    
    She recently married someone in the entertainment industry, and Billy
    Mummy (from Lost in Space) was at the wedding!
    
267.8I knew them WAY back!STUDIO::COLAIANNIMon May 04 1992 10:507
    I met Steve and the whole band a number of times when they were still
    up and coming. They used to play at the Cricket Lounge in Ashland quite
    often. I was a waitress there for a short time. They were all nice guys
    then too. They weren't driving Ferarris then though! ;-) I was never a
    big fan of their music, but I liked them all personally.

267.9Gee, they are getting old ...EMASS::SKALTSISDebMon May 04 1992 20:075
    I remember them playing in Dover N.H., at a St. Thomas Aquinas High
    School dance about 20 years ago. They wen't famous then, and I don't
    remember if they called themselves "Areosmith" at the time.

    When I was in Highschool, at Westford Acadamy, they performed for us at
    a dance.  They were known by Aerosmith, in the mid 70's.

    As for back to the original note,
    I do NOT hate humans so very much any more...
    
    Thanks Steve, thanks to .0 posting it, I need such things to keep
    myself on. For I am not very satisfied with the world...
