Joe Perry still recuping from 1986 tumble in Dallas
Posted By Teresa Gubbins in Square Pegs on February 4, 2009
A publicist for Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry sent out a release today with an update on his recovery from emergency knee surgery, which happens to have a Dallas reference.
According to the release, Perry is "continuing to fight off the infection that had suddenly developed after he had an artificial knee installed around 10 months ago (as a result of a stage-fall 23 years ago in Dallas)."
That's a long time to be nursing an injury, but looky, here's a ticket stub from that very show:
The holder of the ticket recalls that the date was part of a tour to promote their 1985 release, Done With Mirrors, but does not recall seeing the stage-fall.

Everybody blames Dallas for something...From JFK to Leon Lett to Joe Perrys Bum Knee. I tell ya, this town cant get a break

It was the slip from the grass-head kneel.
