The Onion: Steven Tyler Laid Off From Aerosmith As Band’s Jobless Rate Hits 20%
This is hilarious. What’s funny is that my wife and I just passed a sign promoting Kenny Loggins in concert yesterday.
One notable remark from “America’s Finest News Service”:
Analysts speculate that the sector-wide layoff was a result of multiple factors, including redundancies in the singing-songwriting division, rising rehab fees that have cost the group millions, and a 34 percent decline in jump-kicks since 2003. In addition, some of Aerosmith’s younger, more ambitious employees, such as Joe Perry, 57, are willing to sing and play an instrument at the same time, often for half the salary.
Come on! Gems, I tell you, these are gems.
Here’s the link to the article.
