This past weekend in Lexington, Ky., an on-duty police sergeant named Jason Rothermund delivered an impromptu cover of Poison’s famous power ballad “Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
I remember the very week I moved to Austin, Texas. I dreaded going to a "classic rock" station. That week though, the new Poison album came in and I thought "At least I won't have to play that crap." Sorry, I helped bring heavy metal to Texas, but by the time it turned into acts like Poison, I was done with it.
Poison frontman Bret Michaels suffered a serious health issue during his May 29 solo gig in Manchester, N.H., forcing him to end the performance after three songs.
Bret Michaels makes his return to Abilene to play the Lucky Mule, so Bret took a little time out of his busy schedule to call in and chat with The Painman.
