Broken Records



Last spring I read about a young Canadian with Down syndrome named Anthony Yorfido. Anthony is a huge Aerosmith fan. He’d been hoping to snag tickets to their concert in Welland, Ontario, but it was sold out. The day of the concert Anthony visited a medical supply store with his mother and happened to notice a scruffy-looking fellow shopping for a back brace. “Steven Tyler!” he exclaimed, “Is that you?” He ran up and gave his hero a hug. Tyler hugged him back and offered Anthony and his mom back stage passes. During the concert he brought Anthony out onto the stage to introduce his biggest fan to the audience. Anthony shook maracas while Aerosmith played Sweet Emotion. That’s every fan’s biggest dream, right? The rest of us will have to be content with riding the Rock 'n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
