Dream On: Livin' on the Edge with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith (Boulevard) Reviews:
it's all true 
2008-09-07 - Cyrimda Foxe; ultra fabulous, tragic underground beauty tells all prior to her untimely death. From It Girl glamor and Warhol Superstardom to destitution and isolation in NH, trying to raise her beautiful daughter alone while her out of control, out of touch drug addict husband Steven Tyler spent the grocery money on blow, it's all here. Highly recommend for any girl who dreams of marrying a rock star.
A very misleading book 
2008-04-18 - I have been a huge Aerosmith fan since, well, as long as I can remember! When I saw this book, I thought to myself, "Hey, it's a book on Steven Tyler," and immediately, I bought it. Well, I was in for a big surprise. This "biography" about the lead singer of the world famous band, Aerosmith, turned out to be an autobiography about the author, our hero's ex-wife. In fact the author does not even mention Steven Tyler, let alone Aerosmith, until the middle of the book!
The book starts off with Steven Tyler's future wife (now ex), Cyrinda, as a little girl growing up on an army base. She also says that her childhood was poor and that he mother and father did not even love her. So, as a teenager, she runs away to New York. Here, she starts working for Andy Warhol on plays such as Pork. She eventually becomes the face of an underground scene in New York and marries David Johansen, a member of an underground rock band called the New York Dolls. After that, she becomes friends with Joe and Elisa Perry. Finally, something related to what I came to read about! Cyrinda goes to an Aerosmith show and goes backstage and sees Steven Tyler. Steven shows that he is interested in her. A few years later, while Cyrinda is on the road with Aerosmith, she starts dating Steven Tyler. Here, one would think that the author would give the reader at least a little information about Steven, right? Well, not really. She just basically tells the readers how Steven was very interested in cocaine, and how he used to hit her when he was high. Eventually, they have a baby and name her Mia. Shortly after, they get a divorce and Cyrinda becomes a single mother trying to raise an infant. She does not even really say any information about Steven at all, let alone Aerosmith! In conclusion, this is a good book, but not if you picked it up to learn about the best band in rock history, and their great leader, Steven Tyler.
Poor girl- so sad! 
2003-09-26 - I felt so sorry for Cyrinda after I finished this book. She had such a hard time of it and now she is passed away so I am really glad I own her memoir. I hope she is at peace now and I hope that her memory will live on in the pages of this book. It is worth the read.
Good but could've been written better 
2003-09-11 - I don't see why some of the viewers gave this book 1 star and while it's a good book, I felt that it could've been written better and some parts of the book is interesting and I do have Aerosmith's Walk This Way and this was the book that got me interested in Cyrinda Foxe, the routine with Elissa and the airline stewardesses was funny, overall if you like Aerosmith: Walk This Way or Rebel Heart then you'll like Dream On: Livin' on the Edge with Steven Tyler.
Read Rebel Heart Instead of This ... 
2003-03-26 - I love biographies about famous people but I'm sorry to report this has to be the worst one I have ever read. ... It was one of the only books I didn't even care to finish. Don't waste your money on this one - the stories are half told and the writing is contradictory and confusing throughout.
