Superbowl
Ratings
In a rarity, the Super Bowl's 30-minute halftime show -- produced this year by CBS sister cable channel MTV -- attracted a larger overall audience (preliminary 86.5 million) than the game, as well as better demos (36.9 in adults 18-49, 34.2 in adults 18-34, 38.3 in adults 25-54 and a 29.9 in teens).
The game peaked in the hour that ended with the halftime concert featuring Aerosmith and 'N Sync, among others, and then tailed off in the second half as the score widened.
USA Today Article
'NSync and Aerosmith both said they wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else on Super Bowl Sunday than on the 50-yard line at Raymond James Stadium, guitars blaring, hips gyrating and pyrotechnics blazing.
First and foremost, sharing the halftime bill was a valuable learning experience. For both bands.
"It's incredible, truly incredible," said Justin Timberlake, one of 'NSync's 20-something band members. "I can't tell you how much we've learned. That comes from mileage."
Steven Tyler, Aerosmith's legendary lead singer, shot up out of his chair.
"What are you saying?" the 50-something Tyler asked. "Hey, Lance (Bass). What about those naked surfers you showed us on the Internet? Hey, these guys aren't what they look like on the outside. And that's a good thing."
So, what did Tyler's 20-something actress daughter, Liv, think of about her dear old dad playing at the Super Bowl?
"Well, if I didn't take this gig, she threatened to run the family cat through a blender," Tyler said.

Halftime Show Offers Own Highlights
By MARK LONG, AP Sports Writer
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - MTV gave the Super Bowl plenty of lights, cameras, and action Sunday night.
The 10-minute halftime show - which was produced by MTV for the first time and featured a mix of rock, pop, and hip hop stars - was a drastic change for America's premier sporting event.
N'Sync and Aerosmith headlined the show, which provided viewers with fireworks and constant strobe lights. Each band took turns singing songs before coming together - along with special guests Britney Spears, Nelly, and Mary J. Blige - for a rendition of Aerosmith's 1975 classic ``Walk This Way.''
With thousands of ``fans'' flooding the stadium infield, the presentation resembled a concert. Many of the fans held neon signs, also giving it the look of a WWF match.
But the highlight of the event came just before the jam session. Under each seat at Raymond James Stadium, there was a one-time-use flash camera. The fans were asked to simultaneously snap a shot when prompted by the big screens above each end zone.
Their cue came during Aerosmith's second song, and the fans responded to give the 70,000-seat stadium the look and feel of a giant disco.
The halftime show also came with a warm up act, a 90-second film featuring comedians Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, and Ben Stiller. But something obviously was wrong with the film, because it flickered in and out for most of its duration, and it was difficult to follow.

News From The Road
1/18/01
Can't believe we've already been to the AMA's and back. It seems like two days ago that we were in our little creative cocoon, cruising along just working on the record. Now it's already time to start throwing it out into the street. It's a good one. I'm sure it'll survive just fine.So we're suddenly making the transition to "do it in public" mode.
We all got our asses to the airport all together for the first time in months. As we took off I got a familiar feeling that I've had on and off since the very beginning. It feels great to be together with your fellow comrades in arms and just dig that "WE BAAD" feeling. The first order of business was rehearsal. We had decided to use a really weird circus look including snakes, contortionists, and acrobats. There's a word you don't use that often. Acrobats. "Excuse me, are the acrobats here yet?" "Which way to the acrobats". I wonder if it says acrobat on their driver's license. It's a dilemma for us too. Putting "bass player" or "singer"doesn't really say it. Maybe next time we'll try "guy in a band" or "dancing bear".
So rehearsing was great. It was our first time hearing 'Jaded' live and I could start to imagine what it was going to feel like when we take it on the road.
When we first got to the studio for rehearsal it was one of those situations where we're eyeing them and they're sizing us up but before too long we started to interact and go through the song. It was cool watching the whole thing come together. In back, there were four silk strips hanging down from the ceiling. On each one was a person hanging there and on cue doing a tumbling maneuver down to the bottom. It was a little scary because you always imagine someone falling. Dangerous makes it cool. There's no two ways about it. On stage left near Joe were two women on stilts who would sneak up behind him and steal his cigar. In front of them were two girls with Boa Constrictors. Funny, but just a few days before that I happened to be looking at pictures of a snake killing and eating a rat. What a way to go. I wonder if maybe they're still alive..a bit..and down in there..y'know...buggin'. BOGUS!
Okay back to the subject. There was a girl with a long piece of gold cloth simulating a whip. She would make these snarling faces and spin it around and snap it. The torn black stockings helped make it look EXTRA special. I looked around the room to see if anybody was staring a little extra long. Over near me and Brad was a girl who could..uh...how do I describe this..Well, imagine a girl lying on a table the way someone would look, say, lying on the floor watching TV. Then imagine her feet coming up off the floor backwards and coming to rest in front of her face. What a spine. There were also a couple of people to generally hang out and look beautiful and arrogant.
Rehearsal was pretty much framed in by meetings with video directors and art directors. I'll tell you, the real work on a project comes when you have to make zillions of little detailed decisions on the booklet, which picture to use and the endless work of getting the special thanks list together.
I just realized I don't have time to finish this in one piece. I have to get to a meeting to decide which pictures to use... More later,

Aerosmith Appear Anything But 'Jaded' In Performance
Hard rockers debut new single from spring release, Just Push Play, expected to be followed by world tour.
Teri vanHorn reports:
Contrary to the title of their new single, Aerosmith appeared anything but "Jaded" when they debuted the song from the imminent Just Push Play at the American Music Awards on Monday night.
The jangly number, featuring a sing-along chorus with keyboards and delay-effect guitars, is leaner and more rocking than recent pop forays à la "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (RealAudio excerpt).
"Hey ... ja-ja-jaded/ You got your mama's style/ But you're yesterday's child to me/ So jaded," Steven Tyler sings in the opening verse.
As the song dives into the chorus, the flamboyant, 52-year-old singer croons: "My my baby blue/ Yeah I been thinkin' 'bout you/ My my baby blue/ Yeah you're so jaded/ And I'm the one that jaded you."
Complete with circus acrobats, cigars and snakes, the band's performance commanded one of the few standing ovations of the night.
At the ceremony, Aerosmith received the pre-announced Award of Achievement, which has been given only three times previously — to Michael Jackson, Prince and Mariah Carey.
Though it has not been officially released to radio, "Jaded" has already turned up on the airwaves and is available via the file-sharing service Napster. A video for the song will be shot later this week.
Just Push Play, which follows 1997's Nine Lives, is due in the spring. Tyler and Perry are writing and producing the album with Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson, marking the first time members of Aerosmith have taken control as producers.
Aerosmith will play the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXV on January 28 in Tampa, Florida, sharing the field with 'NSYNC. The 30-year-old band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, along with Michael Jackson, Queen, Paul Simon and Steely Dan.

1997, when my mom was in the studio, we played "I Don't Want To Miss A
Thing" and you talked to her, she has never ever forgotten that!
Steven: You played the song so much I got sick of it, we had to change the
title to "I Don't Want To Kiss Your Thing"!

Cubby: You know what, I'll tell you what, you guys I heard had fun when you
recorded this. Joe didn't you guys record this on a farm or somewhere?
Joe: Well we did the drums on a place in New England at a farm but most of it
was recorded at our houses. It's truly a basement tape record.

The Lyrics to Jaded
(as transcribed by Travis Lawrence)
Aerosmith - Jaded
Hey
J-J-J-Jaded
You've got your mama's style but your yesterday's child to me
So Jaded
You think that's where it's at but is that where it's supposed to be?
You're gettin' it all over me
X-rated
CHORUS
My, my, baby blue
(Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout you)
My, my, baby blue
Yeah, you're so Jaded
And I'm the one that Jaded you
Hey
J-J-J-Jaded
In all its misery it will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side we're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be Jaded
CHORUS
(w/) Yeah, I'm so Jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you
BRIDGE
You're thinkin' so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hate it
Wouldn't trade it
Love Me Jaded
GUITAR SOLO
Hey
J-J-J-Jaded
There ain't no "baby please" when I'm shootin' the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ecstasy's what you prefer
CHORUS
(w/) (Blue, blue, blue, Yeah)
(I'm talkin' 'bout you)
(Blue, blue, blue, blue Yeah)
(Yeah, been thinkin' 'bout you)
My, my, baby blue
Yeah, you're so Jaded (Baby)

Jaded on the radio!
Originally the album was supposed to be a double album with new material (the above) and a second CD of their greatest hits re-recorded in which "It's Tricky" would be recorded with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Well, apparently that was only a plan which never ended in Steven and Joe in the recording studio. Well, anyway...the only reason I sent out this e-mail is because it has been a year that neither the Run DMC or Aerosmith camps confirmed that this song was either recorded or NOT recorded.
Aerosmith gets 'N Sync for Super Bowl
Daily News/Wednesday, January 3, 2001/LA
LIFE Page 2
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry want you to know their Super Bowl
halftime extravaganza ---with 'N Sync as the other headlining act---is going
to be "like a great rock show squeezed together into 10 minutes," as
Tyler puts it. "'N Sync will do a song. We'll do a song. ...What great
opposites, huh?" he adds. "It's a split stage. They'll go from one
to another to another --- and then at the end, there's gonna be a few surprise
guests." The bad ol' boy giants of stadium rock have been "working
on a little arrangement" with America's reigning boy band for the show,
and both may wind up performing Aerosmith's "Walk This Way."
What a year 2001 is stacking up to be for Aerosmith. The group is being honored at the American Music Awards on Monday night and preparing to launch a new album come spring--- with an advance single, "Jaded," on the way. There'll be a tour kicking off in May or June. The band gets a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame around that time. And, oh yes, it's being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Aerosmith has been waxing its new album at the home studios of Tyler and Perry in Boston. "The light at the end of the tunnel is very bright," notes Joe. "And we're actually so far along in the process that we know it's not a train," adds Steven. "this is the first time it's really been la cosa nostra --- our thing," says Perry. We're producing the album all by ourselves, nurturing it along, kind of underground. It has a real vibe.
