I remember buying a .45 rpm record of “Dream On” when I was still in Grade School. Here they are, all those years later, still going strong….
For those of you who think the title “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” sounds familiar, it’s the love ballad from “Armageddon”. The Criterion Collection edition has the music video, complete with a full orchestra backing Aerosmith. One of the great rock/classical crossovers of all time.
And proof that miracles can indeed occur – the beautiful Liv Tyler, from “Armageddon” and many others, is Steven Tyler’s daughter. The mind boggles……
