When you've got that kind of wisdom and somebody else doesn't, you can always take advantage of them.

Its cool when I meet young guys from other bands who say how much an impact Aerosmith has had on them and how much they like me.I'll give 'em that 'C'mon you don't mean that' routine, but in my heart I know where they're coming from.
