The American rockers were scheduled to perform this coming Saturday for a nearly sold-out crowd of 15,000 in the capital, Jakarta, said Helmi Sugara, event organizer spokesman. …

We need to isolate the moslem world and let it sink back into the 7th century where it belongs

Aerosmith is from Boston.

In light of recent events, I would love to see Steve Tyler and his bandmates make a statement about keeping their concerts in the USA, or at least FRIENDS of the USA.

BTW, I remember when they were playing dingy bars in Kenmore Square. Yes...I’m that old.

Which means they are OLDER! hahahaha
