Save the Empire!

"Damn the man, save the empire!" one of the most quote-able lines from Empire Records... and today just happens to be National Record Store Day. And of course Liv Tyler is the daughter of Massachusetts' Steven Tyler, so there's your Boston connection. Actually Aerosmith tickets for this summer's Fenway show went on sale this morning at the Orpheum theater. There was a line of folks lining the street of our office, thought they were all interested in taking our bus tour today!

Aerosmith actually had their first number 1 single in the Ben Affleck blockbuster Armageddon. Also playing with the bad boys of Boston will be other local favorite J. Giles Band whose music was prominently featured in Fever Pitch.

But back to my original idea, Empire Records is such a classic 90's movie that has stood the test of time so well. Don't rent it or netflix it... go buy it and support your favorite local record store!
