Classic Rock Report: The Dirty Nasty Side Of Aerosmith

Steven Tyler isn't the only bad boy in Aerosmith. Tom Hamilton’s rude sense of humor just un-tuned his famous bass. His son took one of the 8,000 obscene Beanie Babies he had made to school. The Obscenies....as he calls them....have become a great classic rock joke and fallen apart at the seams. Tom's always been hooked up with his dirty little sandbags, "They’re like the equivalent to Beanie Babies except they’re dirty." How nasty are the beanbags? Tom explains, “I have a character named Scrotilla The Hun who is a rampaging d***, and a character named Robin Redbreasts who has breast implants. How does something like this happen? Tom's answer, "I found somebody who had the connections to have plush toys made. There was some factory in China that was able to produce about 8000 of these things." Then it happened! Kids being kids! I was a snoopy ass. Why not his? Tom checks in with, “My son got into the box of them and took some to school and got in trouble… and then I got in trouble!” Tom has always loved a great punch line. It doesn't have to be commercial success. He says, "They’re pretty hilarious but I’ve never been able to find anybody who could figure out how to sell them."
