"Y'know, we [Aerosmith] had to play every state in America in 3 years. By '74, we'd played it three times around. "And I always thought that to become an American Idol, or any kind of Idol, you have to pay your dues. But, y'know, today's a different world, and they're out there – it's just that we had to pick through 120,000 to find these 20 – so, I think we're doing alright." more here including video
