Apparently Aerosmith Won't Retire Next Year...I'm Glad!

Aerosmith's Joe Perry just did an interview with the Associated Press (AP) and basically said that retirement is off the table for a few more years. In fact, the band wants to stick around until their fiftieth anniversary - which happens in 2020. (I should note that the band's self-titled debut didn't come out until 1973). 

I'll admit, even though Aerosmith is my favorite band, I never put together that they've been together for nearly 50 years. I mean, my parents got married in 1973 and they've been together forever but I still never really gave much thought to Aerosmith being around just as long. The band has pretty much been a huge part of my life since my middle school days and always existed in the background for me. I guess I've taken that for granted.

What a professional accomplishment to still be playing together at their level for this long. Not very many bands can make this claim. I'm selfish and I hope they keep performing together for many years to come.
