Joey Kramer, drummer for Aerosmith, was added to the Bronx Walk of Fame today. Kramer was born and raised in the Bronx,while Steven Tyler comes from Yonkers. Mr. Kramer will join former Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley; actor Burt Young, hip-hop icon KRS-One; salsa star Johnny Pacheco; and Ragtime author E.L. Doctorow in the Walk of Fame.
Kramer released this statement: "I've received my share of honors, but this one hits home because it's about home. Rumor has it that as a drummer I keep good time. The fact is that as a person I keep great company. Besides my brothers in Aerosmith, it's unbelievably cool to join the likes of [Secretary Of State] Colin Powell, [A Space Odyssey director] Stanley Kubrick, [the TV voice of the Yankees] Michael Kay, [talk-show host] Regis Philbin, and [former NBA star] Nate "Tiny" Archibald on the Bronx Walk Of Fame."
Also Inducted in the Bronx Walk Of Fame were hip-hop artist DJ Red Alert, sportscaster Michael Kay, and former middleweight boxing champion Jake LaMotta.
On June 22 they will all be officially added.
