Aerosmith's "Dream on" is one of the best songs ever written and the message it brings. No one is promised time in this life. Live for today with no regrets and do what you want to do. That goes for everything in life. If your not happy in your life, health, relationships, profession or with your financial situation than there is no reason to stay miserable as no one knows how long they have left. Life can be brutal.
Aerosmith also made hip-hop cool and started the bridge between different music types. Of course, some may hate them just for that but that is when a majority of us forum guys grew-up.
