Tommy Lee...

A girl at school today asked me if I was in a band because, she said, I looked like I was. To which I answered: "Yes, I'm the lead singer for Aerosmith." and walked on. It's amazing to me how many high school kids mistake me for Steven Tyler on a daily basis. To me, this makes no sense. Why the hell would Steven Tyler be walking the halls of a Durham Public High School eating a peanut butter sandwich and looking tired? "Surely," you are saying to yourself, "they only think you LOOK like Steven Tyler." No, I say to you, they think I am Steven Tyler. I have heard, on more than one occasion, one student whisper to another: "hey, is that Aerosmith?" Yes, they also think that Steven Tyler's name is Aerosmith. Anyway, after I told the young lady who I was, she said: "oh no, no, you like like Pamela Anderson's ex-husband." Great. Tommy Lee. So now I look like a washed up, heroin addled refugee from an 80's hair band. Lovely. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. For instance, the girl in question looked to me, like she was dressed as an inexpensive prostitute, but I like my job, so I refrained from commenting on her appearance. For now.
