Soon, hopefully. But I don't understand how you think Aerosmith is significant, or somehow countervails Brand. The people who care about Brand's sex pestery tend not to give a shit about Aerosmith. There are always going to be victimizers who haven't been called out, or who haven't yet been dealt with, in every field of endeavor; Robert Kelly is a good example.

It's not as if people who care about sexual assault are somehow lined up in Steven Tyler's corner. Quite the opposite.



I’m not carrying water for Brand-I think all of these Gen X entertainment industry guys are suspect. I’m just trying to figure out how the process works. Why Brand and not Aerosmith (or both) and why don’t the same people care?


Why did it take over 20 years for R. Kelly to go to prison for running a rape cult? Ask Jim DeRogatis. These are hard cases to make.


Right but Steven Tyler was accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year old just last year in a lawsuit that is ongoing.


R. Kelly was accused innumerable times over the course of over 20 years. I'm sure the truth is going to catch up to Tyler, who bragged about what he did in his memoir.
