It's like the death of a god.
Apparently the band is looking for a new singer.... You gotta be fucking kidding me. The kinda die-hard fans that result from a 40-year lineup ain't gonna be showing at concerts without that legendary, trademark voice, and stage persona that ST owns. I can only speak for myself of course, but say it ain't so?!
Cmon ST, do what it takes to get your ass back on track!!! The band won't come close without you and I, for one, see it as a damn shame, the wasting of your band-mates' talent. Cause I know, I won't be seeing them with a different singer. That's simply blasphemy.
I can't decide which is worse, Guns N' Roses without Slash or Aerosmith without Steven Tyler.

I seriously shed some tears when I heard this on the truck radio today.

I came to Cambridge with the idea I was just going to study there and well, maybe having a good time. But learning English was my goal and I went for it! Well, that went quite alright for just a week. Until a bookstore called Borders came along…

My Swedish friend was looking for a book, so we went to the lovely bookstore. I haven’t read a book in years, so for me it wasn’t such a big deal. But my Swedish friend had to look for a while, so I decided to have a look at the biography section. Since I didn’t see any artists, I asked where I could find the biography of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. If I was there, I might as well ask, right? I always been quite curious how his life has been like, so I went upstairs, where the lovely staff of Borders send me to.

No Steven Tyler. Oh bugger. But well, there were plenty of other books from interesting artists and bands, so I took the time to have a look around. Well, that went quite alright, until I saw a familiar red logo. …

O Rodrigo me convidou para este grupo com o mote de que eu conheço muitas músicas e artistas alternativos. Eu realmente achei que era assim mesmo, mas alguns anos de vida me mostraram que, na verdade, gosto de coisas bem normais.

Principalmente depois que eu conheci o Rodrigo e o Ricardo (e a Larissa, o Adriano e a Tati também), que gostam de coisas das quais eu nunca tinha ouvido falar antes.

Algumas coisas que eu gosto caem bastante no gosto popular, e podem até me comprometer (isso não inclui funk,ainda bem), hehe. Mas para mim, não importa se é famosinho, se é desconhecido, se é bonito ou feio. O que certas músicas fazem comigo não têm a ver com popularidade ou fama. A musicalidade, a melodia, a levada, a letra, a falta da letra, uma voz, várias vozes. Tudo isso pode mudar o meu humor completamente. Se eu tiver a oportunidade de cantar, fica melhor ainda, o efeito é bem mais forte. Saber o que as letras significam, e acompanhar o sentimento do intérprete. Deixar a sensação que deve estar levando-o levar você também. …
