Wow. I guess some of you will want to see this.  What is killing me here is whether Steven Tyler himself gets the symbolism in his own video.  Let me explain.

The video starts with a shot of the streamers that Tyler has always had on his mic stand since the old, old days of Aerosmith.  It then features those same streamers being drug through the dirt and mud.  Get it? He is actually dragging Aerosmith through the dirt to make country music.  How could this not send up a red flag that he's not honoring, but disrespecting the legacy of his band?

Let's be honest. This song has more creativity and originality than any of the Nashville product on the radio these days, but that still doesn't mean I have to like it. I guess kudos to Tyler for realizing that he doesn't have anything new to say to rock audiences, but I don't know if country audiences will like this either. Tyler's perception of "country" is apparently some type of gypsy hippie sing-along.  Also, why the hell are their doilies on the tree?  I guess I'll let you guys figure this out for yourself.  ***Caution -Tyler is looking more like a catfish every day and that's a little disturbing***.
