AEROSMITH's JOE PERRY Interviewed On Chicago's WLUP-FM 97.9; Video Available

June 25, 2009

Eddie Webb of the Chicago radio station WLUP-FM 97.9 (Loop 97.9) recently conducted an interview with AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry. Watch the five-minute chat below.

AEROSMITH drummer Joey Kramer celebrated his 59th birthday this past Sunday (June 21) by hosting 20 wounded soldiers as his personal guests at the band's show that night at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia. The troops, who all served in Iraq or Afghanistan, are currently receiving treatment and therapy for their injuries at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Some are amputees, while others have suffered shrapnel wounds, burns, and traumatic brain injuries.

Kramer said in a statement, "I can't think of a better gift to receive on my birthday than to have the privilege of sharing a night of our music with these brave and heroic warriors who have been wounded in the service of our country."

The soldiers attended the show through the assistance of the local USO chapter in Washington D.C.

AEROSMITH's summer tour, which also features ZZ TOP, will continue through mid-September.
