How the heck do you know that? His most famous kid is Liv. Apparently he didn't work hard enough to get her aborted.
His comment did lead one to think that might be the case. It was probably an impression made for lack of thinking the statement through completely. I would hope so. Addressing the sex in the first place was not the way to go.
I agree. And if that decline was in fact the abortion related, you’ve got a good point there.
I don’t know if he said somewhere else that he thought he had done wrong by having intercourse with a 14 y.o., taking her away from her parents, and impregnating her. Likely giving her drugs as well.
Roman Polanski still faces rape charges, and Tyler isn’t in Switzerland.
Not to mention, from the description, this was a saline abortion, hence a late one - how long did it take the two of them to figure out she was pregnant and decide they didn’t want a baby, anyway? You can probably feel the child kicking by that point.
I’m with you on this. Tyler is still a piece of crap. If that had been my daughter, I would have made Tyler a eunuch minus a harem.
No, if you had read further, it says she left and went back to Todd Rundgren.

I admit that I have a degree of difficulty feeling sorry for a man who actively chose this outcome. I still welcome his voice to those who have come to regret the “choice” whether they made it or it was made by the woman. Never a fan of his kind of music myself, but if he helps someone else make a different decision, I’m not going to argue with that.
Better late, than never.

Grace is not cheap. Christ paid heavily for the forgiveness of my sins.
Judge not lest ye be judged.
I’m OK...You’re OK.
Well that’s all well and good except, the time frame he is speaking of is the 70’s. The laws have been revised radically since. One of the ‘boyfriends’ I had at the time was 25....I was 15. It was not viewed the same way as it is today.
2nd point..if you’ll bear with me: The parents of this girl allowed him to become guardian. What weight would they carry? They knowlingly transferred guardanship (probably thinking they would make a bloody fortune from a “rock-star’.
A few years ago Tyler and Aerosmith were at NASA Johnson visiting. They were caught in the mens room putting something white up their noses. NASA swept it under the rug.
I knew some folks awhile back who decide to sneak a peak in a dumpster behind an abortion mill...
what they saw has changed them.

Stick it.
Who knows....and if it was my daughter, I’d do what you say (only I’d use my .357 magnum). Not the point whether the girl’s folks were money-grubbing morons.
The point is your self-righteous judgment of someone who you don’t understand in the least. You know nothing of him, his life, his heart...now or then. Nothing.
I’m sure you’ve lived a saint’s life, but most of us haven’t and don’t care what others think.
I am a big fan of Aerosmith, but that aside....your attitude is what true Christianity is all about. Too bad that so few on this thread actually understand that.
Thanks, brother.....refreshing to read/see here. I’m a Christian but still very much a work in progress. God and His Son love me anyway. They love Steven Tyler, too. Shame more don’t understand that.
