Tune for Tuesday


I had a totally different song all ready for today until I saw this video clip.



That's Poison playing at the Tony Awards. And BAM! That's Bret Michaels getting a beat down from a stage prop. That seriously HAD to hurt! I hope it didn't knock his wig off! Poor guy!
I wondered, "Why in the world is Poison playing at the Tony's?" The answer is some of their songs are featured in the Broadway musical, Rock of Ages. That is one musical I so want to see! Like totally!
Poison is a fun band. It's not my favorite band. It's not the most prolific band. But they are really fun to see live. Their songs are catchy and just fun party songs. I've seen them live twice (see picture with me and drummer, Rikki Rockett) and I've even seen Bret Michaels perform solo.
PhotobucketAnd yes, I even watched VH1's Rock of Love. The first two seasons at least. It was a train wreck, but I had to watch. It was entertaining, yet it made me cringe, too!
Poison had many hits in the '80's including "Nothin' But a Good Time" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." I have tickets to see them and Def Leppard this summer, but have to sell them as a family wedding is on the same day.
Here's my favorite Poison song, "Fallen Angel." Get out your hairspray and rock on, dudes! What are some of your favorite songs from the hair band days?
