The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from
the legendary Aerosmith frontman. Finally, all the lurid tales of
debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n' roll are told straight from the
horse's lips as The Demon of Screamin' describes his unimaginable
highs and unbelievable lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band
in the world. Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol, Steven
Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical
versatility and unprecedented song writing skills, Tyler has, as
lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played
sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he
tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through
the bust-ups, binges, orgies and good old American excess in the
jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can.
Following a fateful meeting with his 'mutant twin' Joe Perry in the
summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed...and the rest, as they say,
is rock history. They released their first album in 1973, and by
1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the
radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band. But
with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins
for their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and
Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction - smashing
each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on
stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members were set to
implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were
back on track and better than ever. But although he may have given
up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the
bad old days. He has so many outrageous stories to tell, and he's
gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of
debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you
will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his
music, this is the most outrageous rock n' roll autobiography of
all time.
The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old
Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on
Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick--and his beloved Janis
Joplin--Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a
teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary
partner Joe Perry. In this addictively readable memoir, told in the
playful, poetic voice that is uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly
recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the
last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all
meaning.
Tyler tells what it's like to be a living legend and the
frontman of one of the world's most revered and infamous bands--the
debauchery, the money, the notoriety, the fights, the motels and
hotels, the elevators, limos, buses and jets, the rehab. He reveals
the spiritual side that "gets lost behind the stereotype of the Sex
Guy, the Drug Guy, the Demon of Screamin', the Terror of the
Tropicana." And he talks about his epic romantic life and his
relationship with his four children. As dazzling, bold, and
out-on-the-edge as the man himself, Does the Noise in My Head
Bother You? is an all-access backstage pass into this extraordinary
showman's life.
Life was so simple for Luna Susan George on Monday. Her older
brother, Sam, was away on his honeymoon, and as his only employee
of "Leslie S. George, Private Investigations," Susan had the office
to herself. Yes, Monday was so simple, but then came Tuesday, and
that "One Little Lie." Tuesday made Susan's life complicated when a
perky twenty-something young woman wearing a pink baseball cap,
with an appointment for a dental cleaning down the hall, stumbled
into the office to seek a private investigator to find the missing
cat of her multi-millionaire employer. What comes next are twelve
days discovering millions of dollars worth of stolen art, an
assortment of oddball characters, and the involvement of the entire
Los Angeles Art Fraud Unit. Steven Tyler is the author of a dozen
screenplays for the movie industry which are in various stages of
production. "One Little Lie" is his second novel. He is hard at
work on the third. His third tale is the story of a ghostwriter who
meets a real ghost.
"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized,
I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been Led
Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me,
Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have
so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all.
All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex &
drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want
to hear."

Blaring the Cream anthem "I Feel Free," WBCN went on the air in
March 1968 as an experiment in free-form rock on the fledgling FM
radio band. It broadcast its final song, Pink Floyd's "Shine On You
Crazy Diamond," in August 2009. In between, WBCN became the
musical, cultural, and political voice of the young people of
Boston and New England, sustaining a vibrant local music scene that
launched such artists as the J. Geils Band, Aerosmith, James
Taylor, Boston, the Cars, and the Dropkick Murphys, as well as
paving the way for Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, U2, and many
others. Along the way, WBCN both pioneered and defined progressive
rock radio, the dominant format for a generation of listeners.
Brilliantly told by Carter Alan--and featuring the voices of
station insiders and the artists they loved--Radio Free Boston is
the story of a city; of artistic freedom, of music and politics and
identity; and of the cultural, technological, and financial forces
that killed rock radio.
