Unless there's an Auntie Anne's near my gate, my experiences at airports are almost always horrible. Aerosmith, however, apparently have better luck because while at an airport in Lakeland, Florida this week, the band not only ran into President Obama, but got invited onto Air Force One with him.
“We were stacked up over Lakeland [Florida], while his plane landed,” Joe Perry told Vanyaland. “We were trying to get in before him but we missed. Then, while we’re sittin’ on the runway, we’re lookin’ at Air Force One and we got out, took some pictures and the next thing you know, we’re on the plane being given a tour. Then Obama heard we were there on the plane and he said, “If you wait ’til I get there, we’ll do a little meet and greet.” So we ended up talking with him for a couple minutes, getting some pictures…
Perry, alongside Steven Tyler, had just flown into Florida after a five week tour of South America. "After a month in South America, something like that? Hey — you know? Steven and I have had some pretty cool adventures, but this one is right up there…In the ’70s we couldn’t get anything but arrested. Now it’s like, we’re so respectable.”
Guess we'll just add this to the rapidly growing list of awesome President Obama stories.
