Question: why are they called aerosmith?
Answer: Joey Kramer came up with it while “doodling” on a book cover as I recall. Other members invoked the name of the book “Arrowsmith” and he said “No - “AERO”. The rest approved and the name was adopted for the fledgling band. The seminal Aerosmith “wings” logo, was a direct homage to the old “Flying A” gas station signs.
