jonglassett.com Exclusive! ***Celebrity Alert***

The wife and I spotted Steven Tyler at Olympia Sports at the Mall of New Hampshire yesterday afternoon. Passing by we noticed a crowd forming at the front of the store and a contingent of very formidable looking mall security guards posted at the entrance. While standing there trying to figure out what was causing the fuss, I overheard someone excitedly whisper "Steven Tyler's here." Sure enough, when I looked inside the store, there he was posing for a picture with an Olympia employee.

After pointing him out to my wife she took a good look and asked, "Is he hacking? He looks bad."

Then, we left.

This cryptic post raises more questions than answers---but they're positive questions. What is "hacking" exactly? Was Tyler purchasing sporting-goods or merely making a compensated "appearance" in the mall/plaza? Were his famously asymmetrical nostrils more or less pronounced live in person?

Tyler is a weird looking, old-looking man, but he seems pretty affable and fairly grounded for a "pantheon"-level rock frontman.

Well, the "hacking" thing refers to a pronounced, hacking cough. I have no idea what he was doing at Olympia. I can tell you that there were no advertisements of any kind announcing his arrival. Also, no one from the general public was allowed in the store. That suggests to me that Mr. Tyler needed some kind of athletic equipment post haste and, in typical celebrity fashion, brought day-to-day mall operations to a screeching halt (by no fault of his own) to acquire them.

I was a good twenty or so yards away and didn't get a good look at his nostrils. I did note that he has quite an impressive head of hair.
