“I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing”

That’s the title of my favorite Aerosmith song from a long time ago. Today is Steven Tyler’s 60th birthday and he’s just as cool today as he was 30 years ago. Maybe cooler.

Check out his profile on the IMDb website http://imdb.com/name/nm0878911/bio. You’ll learn lots of stuff such as his “real” name and why he decided to get sober. He’s a pretty amazing person. Click on the photos tab for some great pictures. There’s one of him with his two daughters.

What you won’t learn, however, is that he is a childhood friend of our very dear friend, John, from California. They grew up together in New York and they’ve stayed very close through the years.

Even though we’ve never met Mr. Tyler, I can say with some assurance that if he’s half as genuine and good-hearted as John, then he’s a special person, indeed.

So Happy Birthday, Steven Tyler…maybe some day I’ll get to meet you. Click on this link to listen to “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”.
