A September fundraiser for Senator Edward Kennedy's 1994 reelection bid was held at the house of Brad Whitford, a member of the Boston-area rock group Aerosmith. At the event, Kennedy was asked to name his favorite Aerosmith song. Seeing that his boss was stumped, an aide yelled, "Walk This Way," one of the band's most popular numbers. Kennedy missed the reference and began walking toward the aide.
