My memory is that the initital press release came out just a few weeks after my Aerosmith Done With Mirrors review; John Leland reported (in the Voice and later in Spin I believe) that my review is where Rubin's idea came from, though right, I'm not sure whether Rubin ever admitted that. I also recall though that, while Run-DMC may have liked Aerosmith's music early on, they didn't even know the name of the band -- thought they were called Walk This Way. But they apparently did like the song and its beats, at least.
