Prrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with members of the rock band Aerosmith on Thursday, joking that they "don't wan't to miss a thing" during their Israel trip. Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton met with the prime minister in Jerusalem following their Wednesday night concert at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park before an enthusiastic crowd of 50,000. Sitting down with the band, Netanyahu asked them, "Where have you been? This is your second visit right? Well you don't wan't to miss a thing," a reference to the band's first number one hit. The prime minister showed the rockers, who last played in Israel in 1994, artifacts from the biblical period, including a signet ring from an official working for the biblical king Hezekiah who was named Netanyahu ben Yoash. He told the band that these artifacts show that "we've been here a long time."
