Question
Do you know or think that part of the song "Face" has a bit to do with Cyrinda? It was written around the time she got sick, maybe Steven was feeling nastolgic. I'm currently reading her book and she mentioned how Steven smelled like patchouli and that she loved it, and one of the lyrics in the song is "I remember a sweet patchouli, she absolutely adored....." Could it just be coincidense?


Also, I was just wondering, with no disrespect, how or what makes you an expert? Are there others?

Thanks Ross!

Answer
Crystal,

I apologize that I haven't answered your question yet. I just got back yesterday from being on vacation.

There's no way that could just be coincidence regarding Steven and Cyrinda and that lyric from the song "Face." That lyric has got to be about her although I don't know that 100%. The only thing that I knew about "Face" before your question was that it was an extra track available through Best Buy on their "Just Push Play" album in 2001.

I know a lot about the band since I've been a die hard fan since their "Get A Grip" album came out in 1993. I've read their autobiography and know lots of personal information about each band member. I also know a lot about their songs, videos, etc. However, I know there still probably a lot of things that I don't know about them. So I'm not sure that I can call myself a true "expert." However, I do the best I can to answer people's questions on here.

I'm sure there are others out there that share my same passion for Aerosmith!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I promise to give a much quicker response.

Thanks,

Ross
