Met a rock star today..........a rock LEGEND

and he wasn't at all like I'd have imagined him to be.
I was at a body shop today having some PDR done on the DD. After the tech was done and gone I was just about to leave but the shop owner asked me stay for a couple minutes. He said he might have someone coming in shortly that I'd enjoy seeing. Not long after, a black suburban with heavily tinted windows pulls up and the passenger side back doors swings open. Out steps a tall very thin gentleman looked to be in his late 50's, long rock star hair, very nicely dressed. It took a minute to hit me but the moment he spoke it was unmistakable, Steven Tyler !!
I'm not the type who gets all excited about seeing celebrities, after all it's So Cal right? You can't swing a dead cat over your head without hitting an unemployed starving has been actor or somebody who thinks their somebody special. But I must admit I was very taken aback by this guy. Despite his wild image he was a very polite soft spoken person with a very charming smile ( don't tell my husband I said that). And very articulate. We talked for a little bit about cars. He admitted to not knowing everything about cars but is certainly knowledgeable about he ones he owns.
Meeting him was really something, enlightening at least.
I just might have to go out and buy some Aerosmith tickets after that.

Isn't it funny how seeing a celebrity as a human being makes us feel differently about them?

Neat experience!

What kind of cars does he have?

[flatbutt]

He did an episode om Top Gear in which he talks about his cars.

Steven Tyler tall??? what? Seen him and Hamilton in Boston several times, he's neither tall nor 50ish?? closer to 70 than 50. He does have some wild motorcycles though. Those guys do lots of charity stuff in/around Beantown that nobody knows about!!

Did the dude look like a lady?

[URY914]

He has plenty of toys in the attic.

Internet says 5'10" and born in 1948 (it must be true because I read it on the internet!)

Not exactly tall... but hey... I'm 5'10 so I will go with it

[foxpaws]

I met him once backstage - he isn't tall, I think a couple inches shorter than me (I am about 5'11''), but hard to tell for certain, we both had our 'big girl' shoes on

But, seemed to be a really nice guy - not all 'puffed up' (unlike Perry, who I met at the same time - he was all puffed up....)

[KevinP73]

He's not really very tall but with the boots he wears we were eye to eye and I'm 6ft. I guess someone's eyes didn't get all the way down to his feet.

Glad to hear he is back in the saddle...

I'm 6' 4" and met him at a company function. I think 5' 10" may be a stretch. However, compared to many he is a giant. Here is Daughtry with his band and my wife and I at our Christmas party last year:
