Stephen Tyler Defies Odds, Reaches 60

Aerosmith's Steven Tyler (originally Stephen Victor Tallarico) turns 60 today. Growing up in Massachusetts when every reference to Aerosmith was preceded by, "The bad boys of Boston..." all I can say is, whoa. With a mouth like a lamprey  and a scream like a banshee, Tyler's now a part of the Massachusetts landscape. And "Dream On", a song that turns 35 this year, is not just the best rock song ever authored by an American band but the backtrack to the greatest sports video montage that THIS...! reporter has ever seen.

I'll be back with a story on the main pages later today talking about them Oakland Raiders. Should we start to take them seriously given the moves of the offseason or are they still dysfunction's favorite franchise?
