Fresh off the success of her groundbreaking first play, A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window tells the tragicomic story of a young bohemian couple in New York's Greenwich Village, struggling to do what's right in a world that rewards everything that's wrong. Sidney is a dreamer who wants his own Walden Pond; Iris is a budding actress whose own backstory is a performance. They're caught in a moment where, "the world is about to crack right down the middle," as the play tackles racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, liberal complacency, and more.

Story
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Interesting for Aerosmith Enthusiasts
Where does Aerosmith rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book was a look into Aerosmith shortly after becoming sober but before their meteoric rise back to the top. It also was the break from the old hard-rocking Aerosmith and the new pop sound that became their new hallmark. They still had everything to prove and much of what Tom Hamilton states proves to be prophetic. It is worth the buy for amateur Aerosmith historians interested in such things.
What other book might you compare Aerosmith to and why?
This was unique because it is an interview primarily with bassist Tom Hamilton, who most people do not know. It likely takes place in the Summer of 1987, shortly before the release of Permanent Vacation but after Aerosmith had their hit collaboration with Run DMC with "Walk This Way." Aerosmith had a taste of newfound success but still needed to prove they could make original music that sold well.It also was unique because it shows an determined and somewhat irritated Tom Hamilton who wanted to become an outspoken member and more active songwriter of the group (neither of which materialized). It is far from the whimsical and laid-back Hamilton who fans got to know during Aerosmith's rise back to prominence in the late 80s and 90s.
Which scene was your favorite?
During a discussion of contemporary hard rock music in 1987, Hamilton names several bands who were disciples of Aerosmith and starting to gain popularity. Ironically absent from the conversation was Guns and Roses, who would become the most successful of those bands and who Aerosmith would tour with a year later.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Aerosmith-From the bottom looking up.
Any additional comments?
The last few minutes of the recording is a completely different interview with Steven Tyler likely from around 1989 talking about the song "Monkey on My Back" from Pump.

Great Interview with Tom Hamilton
WTF? Why is this listed as an “interview with Aerosmith” when it’s an interview with Tom Hamilton? Amazing that there is finally some substance given by the group member other than Joe and Stephen. It’s about time although this interview took place shortly after the recording of Permanent Vacation. It’s great to hear Tom speak as most people probably didn’t realize how well spoken and at ease he is. Good job…..finally!

good vintage interview
Tom Hamilton is so cool. Also a very big part of the Aerosmith sound. He explains a lot in this interview.
