AEROSMITH guitar legend Joe Perry spoke to Miriam Di Nunzio from the Chicago Sun-Times recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts follow:
Chicago Sun-Times: Tell me about your upcoming appearance on the TV special celebrating ELVIS PRESLEY's music (Elvis: Viva Las Vegas, September 18 on ABC).
Perry: "I get to perform with TOBY KEITH. I met him a few times, and I really dig his style of show, kicking country music into overdrive. I like his energy. And, of course, I'm a huge Elvis fan. I get to jam on 'Mystery Train' with Toby. He sings it great."
Chicago Sun-Times: Who's the one artist that you'd give anything to jam with if you got the chance?
Perry: "[BOB] DYLAN. There are probably five people in our generation that are as important [to music] as he is. And he'd be the top of that list.
Chicago Sun-Times: What do you think you'd learn from him?
Perry: "[Laughs] I can only imagine."
