post 7- Tori

October 3^rd, 1978. The rock band Aerosmith bailed thirty people out of jail, because they had been arrested for smoking pot at one of the Aerosmith concerts. I don’t know how much impact it necessarily had on our day in age, but isn’t it amazing that a band actually cared about their fans? Instead of telling them to screw off, or just flat out ignoring them. The band members went out of their way to bail these random people out. How awesome is that? Some of the bands I listen to are still protective over their fans, and they defend them to a fault. I just really like the idea that a band, or even a single artist, acknowledges the fact that these people- these kids- invest a lot into these people. They pay for the tickets, and the shirts, and the music, and they just plain listen.

On this day in history Aerosmith set an example of how people should treat their fans. And I think that’s the coolest thing ever. I hope that if I’m ever in trouble because of a band or as a product of a music issue, they stand up for me.
