Aerosmith retires from touring, says Steven Tyler’s voice can’t recover from injury

Bebe Buell [mother of Liv Tyler] has "dated"* many musicians, beginning with Paul Cowsill of the Cowsills when she was 15. She has "dated"* Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Page, Duran Duran's John Taylor, and Steven Tyler among others, but she rejects the label "groupie." - Wikipedia

...As you do.

Regards,

*I've add the quotation marks, because I suspect that she didn't actually DATE them.

I saw them a few times when they were in their prime. Those first 4 albums they released were outstanding. Some of the best music of the era.

it was the mother’s decision

she did not want her around the drugs/sex/rock n roll crowd

Saw them at the Texxas jam in ‘87. Yes, 2 xs. That is how they spelled it on the shirts.

"An imitation of The Rolling Stones."

I never saw anything in their music that reminded me of the Stones. They are just a contemporary to the Stones.

Maybe he can do what Bonnie Tyler did - sing anyway with a new sound....

His daughter by uber-groupie Bebe Buell, Liv Tyler, was accepted, loved, and raised by Buell’s boyfriend Todd Rundgren.

1. If she had openly acknowledged Steve Tyler's paternity - rather than lying about it - this would not necessarily have had the consequence that Liv would have been exposed to more drugs/sex/rock n roll than she was anyway. It is very doubtful that Steve Tyler would have insisted upon being awarded custody of Liv, and exposing her to that errant lifestyle.

2. Bebe Buell already had - and persisted in having - a very tumultuous lifestyle, replete with numerous "trysts" with various different rock stars who were heavily into drugs. She was certainly no "choir girl."

3. It is immoral to deceitfully hide such information - unless the father is, e.g., a serial killer.

4. The Wikipedia entries are unclear, so I am unable to confirm this, but Buell apparently also kept the putative father (Todd Rundgren) in the dark, as well. The best I can find is the following quote: "According to Liv Tyler, 'Todd basically decided when I was born that I needed a father so he signed my birth certificate. He knew that there was a chance that I might not be his, but…'"

Probably America’s greatest rock band of all time when you factor in longevity, number of hits and overall body of work. And no, not at all like the Rolling Stones.

Back in the day we used to burn a lot of rope and rock out to "Train Kept A Rollin!"

Just FYI: “elfin” means small of stature, short and slender.

In the context of Tolkien, the proper term would be “elven”. Liv is a lot of things, but elfin is not one of them.

I’d put ZZ Top ahead of them in that department.
