Advertised as the official Aerosmith video of this song, I just do not remember ever seeing anyone holding a BIC lighter in the early or even mid '70s at a concert. But, certainly this is a mighty young Steve Taylor!
This came out the year I graduated from high school, I lost my first girl friend, my war with the US Government began, I was forced to go into hiding and the year I became a Christian. A tumultuous year. So, I was not listening to much radio back then, except when I was studying for my computer classes in college.
I remember this song, from at the time, and hated it. But then, that was the old me. It made no sense and honestly Taylor voice just grates on me. I always thought of him as a nice Alice Cooper wanna-be.
Yesterday I was browsing YouTube, wondering what the song would be for today and I thought of this song. So, I looked up the lyrics, just to be sure I was not going to offend anyone, and was surprised to find that they actually had a message, albeit, "live for today" but that can be used to mean far more than Taylor ever meant it to mean...
