Nothin' But a Good Time












Well my ears are still ringing from last night's Bret Michaels concert in Fayetteville, AR. I gotta say that the guy put on a really good show, albeit fairly short at about an hour and fifteen minutes.

In honor of the Poison front man let's take a look at then and now for Mr. Michaels. We've already had a "Poison March" in 2009 in honor of the band Poison here at The Excellent 80's. I featured most of their hits, but I did miss this one from the 80's. It's not really a "hit", but it is actually their debut single from "Look What the Cat Dragged In." Here is Bret Michaels, then with Poison, with a song that didn't crack the U.S. Billboard charts but made it all the way up to #97 in the UK - it's "Cry Tough"...

Now, let's take a look at today's reality tv star / celebrity apprentice / spokesman for Diabetes. He's got a new VH1 show coming up in October that looks like it centers more around his girlfriend, two children, and his life in general. He also has a book coming out and heart surgery coming up in January to fix a hole in his heart, so the schedule is packed for Mr. Michaels. Here is the theme song from his successful Rock of Love shows, which he performed last night called "Go That Far"

Bret has always had that soft side to him and now that he has two daughters he made this song about his youngest which also appeared on the "Rock My World" album in 2008. It's a tender ode to his youngest daughter of the same name called "Raine"...
