I suck because I have not yet managed to watch SJA, on account of I got distracted by Guitar Hero again. Today for sure. And randomly, because of the GH playing I have been listening to Aerosmith a lot where I ordinarily wouldn't, and it's sort of crystalized why I just do not particularly care for them. There is a certain amount of ego that is required for good rock and roll. If you don't believe you are hot shit it's kind of hard to sell the attitude that makes it work. The problem with Aerosmith, for me, is that their ego comes across as for more smarmy than bravado to me. It actually kind of creeps me out, and not in the good way. Like that slimy guy who stands too close when he hits on you, with absolute conviction that you'll sleep with him despite the fact that everything about your body language is screaming 'get the fuck away from me'. The Run DMC cover of Walk This Way is, however, pretty much made of awesome.
Why yes, I am going to use the fact that this post is about rock as an excuse to use a Hugh Dillon icon again, because I'm sad like that.
