I don't know why he's announcing this now. He could've waiting until the end of the summer when his brain tumor comes back and the doctors force his to take the year off. Then the love of the fans gives him the strength to come back and do another 45 minute set. Bret on skin cancer: "I'll admit...

Re: If you die, will your workplace acknowledge your death in any way?

The more appropriate question would be, "Would I care or acknowledge if everyone at my workplace died but me." I think you and I are in competition for "Most Over with Corporate America". Still..it's not polite to wish death upon your co-workers. :) Most of us are expendable. It...

Re: Sharing 🎂 with Bret Michaels today must be awesome

I love Bret and wish him a happy birthday but talk about one lucky motherfucker. A one octave vocal range and a 9 song set that includes 2 covers and a drum solo. How the fuck did he make a solo career out of that? Amazing.

Re: Bon Jovi - Legendary

On first listen, I stand corrected. That's not a It's My Life rip off. At best, it's an album track from What About Now.

On first listen....like most of his solo songs, it sounds like a kid just jotted down a bunch of random lines. It's not a song. Even the music was odd. The parts didn't fit together well...verse into pre-chorus into chorus, etc. The video started out charming with the Maxell commercial throwback and...

He sounds good. And I thought he sounded amazing on "This is the Moment" back in his Broadway days. His personality will keep him from being a wedding singer though.

A friend of mine saw the Goo Goo Dolls in the early days before "Name" and their countless other hits. I don't think anybody saw that coming! As for me... the only one I can think of is Alex Grossi! :) It was his 90's band called The Flames and I'm pretty sure Matt Starr was in the band too.

Re: What is your go-to frozen pizza?

As a kid, I loved it all. I think Tony’s and Ellio’s were my favorites. I liked Mystic Pizza too but that was hard to find.

These days I pretty much only buy the “EAT Pizza” brand or Table 88 which is actually flash frozen. I buy the plain one and add my own toppings.

I'm on the fence about this one. For many of our 80's rock guys, I truly feel later albums were "mediocre" because of limited budgets and no real producer. It just doesn't exist like it used to. It's gotten better in recent years but there are some late 90's and early 2000''s records that ...
