Right next to the thermostat she won’t let anyone touch
In an emotional ceremony held in the modest ranch-style home of Bret Michaels’ mother, legendary glam metal band Poison was officially inducted into the Hallway of Fame — a personal shrine located just past the guest bathroom and directly above a “Live, Laugh, Love” plaque.
The inductees include all original band members, a framed Look What the Cat Dragged In cassette, and a laminated flyer from a 1987 Chili’s parking lot show. Sources confirm the induction took place around 3 p.m., just after Jeopardy! and before Jeopardy! again.
“They deserve to be here,” said Mrs. Michaels, wearing a pink velour tracksuit and spritzing Febreze into the air. “Not in the Rock Hall, which is too political — but here, where it counts.”
The hallway also features:
During the induction, Bret wiped away tears and gently adjusted a crooked family portrait to make room for the band’s commemorative shadow box. C.C. DeVille attempted a short guitar solo but was asked to stop because the rice was almost done.
“I’ve played sold-out arenas,” said Bret. “But nothing compares to having your laminated 8×10 placed next to the carbon monoxide detector.”
Plans are already underway to induct Bret Michaels’ Rock of Love Tour Bus DVD set into the Downstairs Guest Bathroom Cabinet of Legacy next spring.
Written by Rick Sizzler, who was also briefly inducted into Mrs. Michaels’ Hallway of Fame for fixing her VCR in 2003.
