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.
