Album Release Update

Maybe you had to be on the breezy warm roof of 610 W. 26th St. last night to really appreciate what was going on. Hugo Boss sponsored a party with Interview magazine to help celebrate their music issue.
The guest band was Arckid, which consists of the Langdon brothers. Roy Langdon is married to actress Liv Tyler, and she was there (of course) with her mom, Bebe Buell, and her two dads.
No, it’s not a TV show. Liv was raised as the daughter of rocker Todd Rundgren until she discovered around age 10 that Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler was her biological father.
Then, in the spirit of family, the whole gang milled about on the roof, as well as famed photographer Bob Gruen, and another big-name rocker, David Bowie.
Steven Tyler brought his new girlfriend, Erin, whom he hugged a lot. Everyone got along famously, bopping up and down to Arckid. The group is terrific, by the way.
Tyler, who had surgery earlier this year for throat problems, looks and sounds great. He told me Aerosmith starts touring soon with Motley Crue.
"Someone’s gotta do it," he said with a shrug.
The group is getting a "best of" album together for Christmas and may include one new song as well. Then they will begin thinking about a totally new album early next year.
As for Rundgren, we did talk about his exclusion so far from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"I wouldn’t go even if they inducted me," he insisted. "I loved what the Sex Pistols did this year."
Rundgren has every right to be bitter. Apart from hits like "Hello It’s Me" and "I Saw the Light," he has also been a seminal producer for Grand Funk Railroad, Badfinger, XTC and other groups.
After a while he said, "Let me know if I get in. I could come and not be happy about it."
