Can You Be a Rock Star and Lawyer?

Proving once again that law and art make lovely love, Adrian Perry, son of Aerosmith legend Joe Perry, ponders the hectic yet energizing shifts that come with being a practicing lawyer in NYC and touring musician.

“It’s pretty absurd. I find myself in bizarre scenarios all the time. I remember one example of trying to get out to a show in New Haven (Connecticut), and I had to run to Grand Central (station in New York) and change (from a suit and tie) in the bathroom and then run on to the train. I had to work (on legal stuff) on the train until I got there, and my brother picked me up at the train station, and I was working in the van all the way to the gig. (After) the show, I got back in the car, and we were driving up to Boston for another show, and I just kept working.
