As the group worked through their set list at Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle/Westfalen, Germany Thursday night, Hodgson’s material was [...]
The Aerosmith Definition of ‘Normal’
The more we hear from Joe Perry, the more I like the guy. The Aerosmith guitarist strikes me as a good old-fashioned stand-up guy. He seems to be the voice within the ranks of the group that stands alone as the one that simply tells it like it is. That’s not to say the other [...]
