   Joseph Nebus to All   
   28 September 2007 - Bret Michaels, Jose

   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Bret Michaels:   
   	- He knew as a kid he wanted to be lead singer.  It was an easy   
   choice.  The lead singer got more attention from the girls.  He took   
   control by owning the PA system.   
   	   
   	- He was known for stage theatrics, but they had no money.  The   
   poor man's Aerosmith and Kiss.  They'd play the Rainbow Roller Rink, he   
   figured to do a Ted Nugent move, swinging out like Tarzan.  They   
   borrowed his dad's ladder and took it back, forgetting to bring ladder   
   back to the show.   
   	   
   	- They made their own pyros.  Coffee can -- Maxwell brand -- and   
   whatever they could find.  Saltpeter and a little gunpowder.  They put   
   it in front of the stage, as they figured Kiss did, and he'd cue with a   
   little thing for the fuse.  They forgot the coffee can would fly up, and   
   there'd be injuries ... they have this documented at the Fishing Creek   
   Community building the night before leaving for Los Angeles.  It looked   
   killer, and it was.   
   	   
   	- As lead singer you need signature moves.  Conan shows doing   
   the Rock Horns, broken and with a face expression depression and   
   uncertainty.  I guess if this is what's necessary then rock on.   
   	   
   	- If you throw tongue with it, but don't wiggle it it goes to a   
   different area.  You need to be strong.  New York rocks!  Mechanicsville   
   rocks!  Rainbow Roller Rink rocks!   
   	   
   	- Rock of Love: Conan thinks he's a genius.  The Bachelor has to   
   get married.  Here, the winner gets to be his Rock And Roll Girlfriend,   
   which could last like six hours.   
   	   
   	- They had a phone sex competition.  Ew.  How did they test it?   
   Michaels insisted this was important to be a rock-and-roll girlfriend.   
   They used a penile erection meter which he insists was not his idea.  It   
   was a weird moment.  You'd think he would have control over whether   
   there are electrodes attached to his penis.  He was in his horrible   
   human-pumpkin orange outfit.   
      
      
   Jose Gonzalez:   
   	- In Our Nature: no idea, once again.
