Aerosmith - Janie's Got A Gun

The Pump album is just loaded with classic tracks, writing and music at it's best.
Steven Tyler In the 1980s was in a recovery program where he met so many women who had experienced incredibly painful and debilitating sexual, mental and physical abuse. Those events put them on a path of suffering that led to anything from abusing drugs to self-harm to many other self-destructive behaviors to mask the pain. It was also around that time that he wrote the song "Janie's Got a Gun," which tells the story of a young girl who is abused by her father." The singer declared, "I got really angry that nobody was paying homage to those who were abused by mom and dad."

I never knew the story behind this track, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I always enjoy the lore behind songs.

Plus they did "What It Takes" as well on the same album, these are two of my all time favourite tracks.
