And It Don't Get Better Than This

What the fuck is Poison doing at the Tony awards anyway?
Do we need a musical about 80's hair metal?
Not to sound callous, but there’s nothing funnier than Bret Michaels taking a shot to the face on live TV. Serves him right for shucking out another goddamn version of “Don’t Need Nothin’ But A Good Time” in that fucking wig. Seriously dude, your time was up years ago, you were a packaged act even in your prime, and nobody takes your shit seriously.
Now Michaels’ camp is calling foul, whining that the Tony’s producers are an uncaring lot and blaming the show’s crew for not keeping an eye on Brett. They’re stating that they weren’t aware a half-ton prop was going to be descending. I call bullshit; none of the other members were in harm’s way and they all seemed to hit a mark on time, presumably knowing that something was on its way down. Could it be that Brett was too busy hamming it up for a few seconds too long? Maybe-because he’s such a big time reality show star-he missed the rehearsals while the other members of Poison were present at the run through. Or maybe it’s just fucking karma that’s finally rearing it’s heard towards the head of Bret Michaels.

Like most 80's era Hair Bands, Poison seems incapable of grasping an opportunity to become immortal in the history of rock n roll rather than the sad footnote that will become. Bret Michaels should have died after this incident. If he didn't die as a result of running into the set piece, Bobby Dall should have cracked him over the head with the bass he barely uses. They would have become legends and many doors would have opened as a result. Gay porn for Rikki Rocket, AA spokesman = Bobby Dall, and CC DeVille could have moved right in and taken Arnolds place as Governor of California after the whirlwind of press as a result. THEN, they begin the search for a new singer a la AC/DC and complete some songs began by Bret and the band before the tragic accident and then release "Back in Bret" to world wide acclaim. But they are just Poison and I will be forced to forever wonder, "What could have been.."

This is totally hilarious. The only thing that could be funnier is if something similar happens to Gene Simmons.
