It's the iron law of lazy feature-writing: if the subject is a musician, you use the title of their most famous song into the first line of the story. If you can make a pun, it's even better. Well, the Aerosmith guitarist had a traffic accident, and I can't think of anything. "Dude Struck by a Lady" is as close as I can get:

He's okay. Treated and released. Wonder how fast they were going, though - car can go very slowly, but with a bike one eventually falls over. But then you pick it up, and you're Back! You're Back in the Saddle Again!

I give up. Aerosmith has no song titles suitable for use in hack-work feature stories. If you can do better, show me.
