Scott Obsessed With Aerosmith

Around the time I was a junior in high school, Aerosmith came out with an album with cow udders on the front cover. After google-ing it just now I learned that it was called "Get a Grip." Lovely. My brother, Chris purchased this album shortly after it came out, and it received daily airplay on our huge stereo system for the next few months.

Scott became obsessed with three of the songs on this album. They all sounded relatively alike, I believe they all starred Alicia Silverstone in their videos, and they were all top ten hits. Scott spent hours in our living room, upstairs, listening to these songs and singing along. It was like his own personal Aerosmith Trilogy. He would say to me, "You wanna know what my favorite songs are? They're 'Crazy, Amazing, and Cryin.'" And I probably replied, "Yeah, I kind of figured that out already."

These songs got SO much airtime in our living room, Aerosmith should have payed us. Scott drove us "crazy" with those songs...he completely over-did it, and forever ruined any chance I had of wanting to listen to them again, ever. I can't speak for my siblings, but I NEVER wanted to hear ANY of those songs, and flipped the station quickly when they played on the radio. I never could have guessed that hearing them now would actually stir up warm feelings inside of me. So...Here's to Scott, the Aerosmith Junkie. Love you, miss you Brother.
