Steven's Quit The Band (sung to the tune of "Janie's Got a Gun")

Steven Tyler may or may not have just quit Aerosmith (getting back at guitarist Joe Perry, who quit the band during the 80s?), but one thing is for certain: the photo the New York Times chose to include with their story on this has-he-or-hasn't-he development makes Tyler look absolutely terrible. This leads several people in the comments section to speculate if Tyler is already dead or express surprise that Aerosmith is still together. But comments like that just betray ignorance. Aerosmith may not be a critical favorite these days (if they ever were), but they've certainly been very successful live performers over the last 10 years or so, drawing quite a wide range of fans of different ages and genders. And grossing a ton of money, too, I might add. If you didn't notice that, you haven't been paying attention.
