Ah yes. Another watch middle aged white rock fans attack Michael Jackson thread. 🥱
How much cocaine is Steven Tyler on? All of it.
From a photo series by Bobby Bank, dated May 31, 1977. Pictured are (left to right), Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell, Michael Jackson and Aerosmith lead singer, Steven Tyler. Edited from this shot, to right of Tyler, was Runaways’ lead singer Cherie Currie.
The date here places this just prior to Aerosmith recording their “Draw The Line,” LP, which Tyler later confessed was a troubled period, due to the group’s members‘ excessive drug abuse. Cherie (from the Runaways) was 17 years old at the time, just less than two years into the fame of her band. This was a couple months after their second release, “Queens of Noise,” and just prior to the band’s tour of Japan.
Michael Jackson was about 19 years old, and the Jacksons had left Motown about two years before for CBS/Epic Records. They were soon to release an album, “Goin’ Places,” and some lesser-selling singles during this time.
Studio 54 was one of the cultural focal points of the late 70’s and early 80’s, drawing a dizzying array of actors, musicians and artists. Some of the stars pictured there included names like Cher, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, Jon Peters, and Liza Minnelli.
