| I was at a seminar with Desmond back in 99. It might have even been the same one. But he did tell a story about this song specifically. It's been a while, but I remember he said Joe Perry was telling a story about a guy in 'Nam, may or may not have been a family member, who went into a whore house and got a room in the back with a woman. But as you can guess, it was a man in drag. They laughed about it for a while and Tyler said "Dude looks like a lady". And Desmond loved the title and went to work. He's actually a great speaker. He goes into small details about where songs came from. He told a story about how "Livin on a prayer" was autobiographical (he even sold his guitar, back when he was straight). He then performed on keyboard: Angel, Livin on a Prayer and I Don't Want to be your Friend. Wish I could attend something like that with Jim in my lifetime, or his. > I just did a little googling, and came up with this: > > When die-hard rock band Aerosmith was > is taken from this url. > > > I once heard Child speak at a seminar where he seemed to > have described his songwriting as "bursts of spontaneious > combustion", that do not particularly gear themselves > specifically to projects.
