Hilarious Parti-Gras press release

There's so much here that's worth calling out, but my favorite line is this one: "Although considered at different ends of the musical spectrum, the fans seem to feel that both Bret Michaels and Taylor Swift have delivered the feel-good tours of Summer 2023."

Always a good sign when a "press release" written to celebrate a blockbuster tour doesn't include sales figures.

Just clicked on the link, Bert has pictures of himself as the stage backdrop. How fucking cheesy.

He really has crossed over into televangelist territory. The tone of this "press release" is so relentlessly aggressive and pushy that it gets really uncomfortable and weird by the end. I mean he draws a decent crowd and knows his audience, comparing his tour to Taylor Swift's just looks desperate.

"The teams at Live Nation, Red Light Management and Michaels Entertainment Group could not thank him enough for his tireless work ethic and constant positive energy every single night"

OK Bert, we get it, you're amazing.

Ok, that is a weird and creepy at the same time.

Even the first sentence is totally absurd:

”Music icon Bret Michaels, hot off the recent Stadium Tour, the son of a veteran and a lifelong type 1 diabetic…”.

Dropping Taylor's name in the press release is an age old trick of trying to associate yourself with bigger acts. That's literally just pulled out of their asses and made up. I must have missed the survey they took asking people what the feel good tours of the summer were. She's on the verge of having the biggest grossing tour in history, and Bret's on the verge of having the grossest tour in history. No comparison.
