Aerosmith Singer Steven Tyler - John Lennon "Rode Life Like A Surf Board"
Although overshadowed by the anniversary of "Dimebag" Darrell's death in the metal community, the 25th anniversary of the death of Beatle legend John Lennon (today, December 8th) is a sad occasion for rock n' roll in general.
“He rode life like a surfboard,” Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler told Reuters. “And when he got to the shore, instead of paddling straight back out again to catch the next wave, he sat there for a while and wrote it down. And I love that about him.”
Aerosmith covered The Beatles' 'Come Together' in 1978.
According to Reuters, despite some erratic solo work and questionable political alliances, Lennon - the ‘‘smart one’’ in the Fab Four - has been canonised by music fans as a thoughtful songwriter and courageous activist. His songwriting partner Paul McCartney lived long enough to receive a knighthood, but sainthood has been more elusive for McCartney, the “cute one’’, viewed by some as the lightweight half of the pair.

Hey guys I was wondering if you had a way to contact the band? I have a set of concert tickets I would like to have autographed. I never attended the show. The show was supposed to be in Norfolk, VA on September 11, 2001. Obviously,the show was cancelled. I kept the tickets. Any ideas how to go about getting them autographed???
