One of the groups that was becoming popular about the time I had my first job (at a radio station!) was Aerosmith. That was a great time.
What wonderful memories do you have? Or what else would you like to talk about? You get to choose the topic, because it’s Saturday Night Open Thread. Your turn to run the show.
Who wants to start?

Can easily power
The snivilized world for years
I can see the car commercials now: “Buy the new SOB 9000.”
Re: Aerosmith —
A campaign song for Hillary could’ve been “Droog Looks Like a Lady”
On a serious note, theirs is one of only two covers of Beatles songs (“Come Together”) that was as good as or an improved twist on the original.
“Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” by Elton John being the other.
I would add Cheap Trick’s live version of Day Tripper to those 2
Let’s not forget Marilyn Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams, especially with Halloween coming up.
I remember my teenage summers working at a summer camp. It was like spending two months with fifty of my best friends. Then getting paid for it. It’s also indirectly how I met my wife.
‘Aerosmith’ 1973 first album -single- ‘Walkin the Dog’…listen to it if you happened to miss it. I command you.
I don’t have a dog can I walk my dinosaur?………………….

My wonderful memory is of my first time at a classical music concert. It was Thanksgiving Day, 1969. After Thanksgiving dinner, I took the train to Union Station in Chicago and walked to Orchestra Hall (across Michigan Avenue from the Art Institute). It was Sir George Solti’s first season as the principal conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The program was “Three Places in New England” by Charles Ives, the Dvorak Cello Concerto with Jacqueline du Pre as soloist, and the Beethoven Eighth Symphony.
Danny Murtaugh, who managed the Pittsburgh Pirates to victories in the World Series in 1960 and 1971, was born October 8, 1917.
