Joe Perry loves the Animal Planet

Rock on! Joe Perry of Aerosmith is a fan of Animal Planet! Makes sense; just think of all their lyrics:

• "Without your love, a dog without a bone" from Angel
• "Workin’ like a dog for the boss man" from Love in an Elevator (which makes me have to ask--how hard does a dog really work? Mine sure doesn't!)
• "Her dog day’s just begun" from Janie’s Got a Gun
• "Singin’ hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle" from Walk this Way
• And, of course, the entire song "Walkin' the Dog."

So, how do we know Joe is a fan of Animal Planet? Because Maureen Smith, executive vice president and general manager of the network says so.

Ms. Smith gives an interview to CNN on the 10th anniversary of the Animal Planet. (Only ten years? Seems like it's been around forever!) If you click to CNN you'll find out who scoops poop on the shows, what happens when Mary Chapin Carpenter's horse farts on air, and what Dave Salmoni is up to next.
