Earlier this week Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry dropped a bombshell on fans claiming singer Steven Tyler had quit the legendary band. That is until we were "taken to the other side" of the story. On Tuesday, Tyler appeared unexpectedly at a Joe Perry solo gig in New York City and assured fans he was NOT leaving the group. However, with Tyler planning a two year "vacation" from performing, the rest of the guys are ready to do "what it takes" to keep the Aerosmith "train a rollin", even if it means finding a new singer!
 
Now if any band knows what's it's like to "substitute" band members, it's The Who and they'll be performing at the 2010 Super bowl Halftime Show. Ever since the infamous 2004 event where Janet Jackson displayed her "pleasure principles" to the world, halftime entertainment has played it safe with family-friendly artists such as Tom Petty, U2 and Bruce Springsteen. This year broadcasters are hoping they "won't get fooled again" by another wardrobe malfunction they "can't explain".
 
Sometimes all it takes is one "not so charming fan" to ruin a show, just ask former Smiths front man, Morrissey. Last week, only 2 songs into his set, the singer was hit in the head with a plastic water bottle, causing him to "start something he couldn't finish" - the show! Morrissey stunned fans by saying "goodnight" and then walking offstage.
 
You know, whether it's waiting for Steven Tyler to get "back in the saddle" with Aerosmith, Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "escapades" or the kids of today who are "not alright", isn't it unfortunate how one "boob" can change everything?
