							  It wasn’t quite the world-shattering, where-were-you-when moment as the space shuttle  Challenger  exploding into cottony plumes earlier that year. But I still remember my naive and dazed disbelief upon hearing that basketball star Len Bias had died of a cocaine overdose on June 19, 1986
							  AEROSMITH ’s disastrous summer of canceled tours and geriatric folly has taken its toll on guitarist Joe Perry, who recently told MTV that the band were on “indefinite hiatus” — which is music-industry slang for “I hate Steven Tyler.”

							  Thank you for carefully illustrating the intellectual dishonesty of the right wing’s number-one glory boy.
