Seems like at MSG he sang two nights in a row, which might have something to 
do with it.  But then, who knows?  Maybe it was the weather, instead.

Roger could already alter the melodies to avoid the high notes, and for a 
while both he and Pete did that, but lately they seem to have decided what 
the hell, it's close enough.  They do shift into falsetto a little more than 
they used to, but all in all, they're both doing great.

Nah.  Not unless he adopts JAE's Boris voice.  ;)

I suspect the Kid Rock duet Steven Tyler engaged in at the Hall of Fame 
ceremonies could mean he's having trouble with "Sweet Emotion" these days.  
Kid Rock took the high notes.
