Most dogs are cute, that's why they are DOGS. You know, I have never
heard of this guy?

Lead singer of the band Poison mostly popular in the 80s - the "hair" (or
glam) band era. He still has the hair but has toned down his wardrobe. He
had a few reality shows on VH1 called Rock of Love. A bunch of women signed
up to get banged by him and he picked the best. lol He never stuck with
any of the winners. More recently he was on Trump's Apprentice show.
Apparently he had a brain hemorrhage and is fighting for his life right now.
He has type I diabetes which is for some reason making it more complicated.
The diabetes part always scared me with the way he would drink on the
reality show. He'd say things like his liver hurt and he had to take a
night off.

Looks like a common, stoner dirtbag. I wouldn't let him *my*
kitchen, or even in my bathroom.

You would let him what your kitchen? use? in? blow up?

Supposedly alcohol lowers blood glucose levels. Of course, that's an
argument for a glass or two of red wine, not whatever he was probably
drinking.

So, you're saying he deserves to die. I don't care one way or the
other, I never heard of him... can he enunciate a comprehensibe word,
probably not. No loss.

What's a stoner?

I wouldn't let him IN my kitchen. Unlike some people here, I think
quicker than I type.

He was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic when he was a child. Here's a useless
bit of information, he was a PA Dutch, Lancaster, PA area Mennonite (as
raised) but got into the hair band, drinking, drugging, partying scene. He
lived rough, and played rough, it's not surprising that he had a brain
bleed. He never took care of himself and now his body is rebelling. I'm
sorry this has happened, but there is no one to blame but Bret Michaels
himself.

He's the first to admit that. I never paid much attention to him or his
band, but I guess he's got good genes (good jeans, for sure!) because
he didn't strike me as such a heavy drinker. Seems like a bright guy.
He's got young kids he seems devoted to, I really hope he pulls
through.

I'd never heard of him until they were plastering it on the news that
he'd had an appendectomy, like that in itself was news worthy.

Although I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Brett Michaels, as a teen of the '80's
I certainly know who he is from his glam rock glory days. Personally, I
don't think it's fair for us to sit and judge that this happened due to his
own fault. He's not in critical condition from a drug overdose -- he had a
brain bleed. They can and do happen to anyone, regardless of lifestyle
choices.

I'm not sensing unlimited sympathy for the guy who sang "Unskinny bop,
just blows me away/ Unskinny bop bop. All night and day/ Unskinny bop
bop bop bop she just wants to play." Personally, I wouldn't wish him
ill, no matter how many moronic but freakishly catchy pop songs he
sang.

What it probably boils down to is the fact that diabetics are more prone to
strokes. Period.

Baloney, he had emergency hair plug surgery at the Bosley Institute
and this story is just a cover-up.......kind of like when Lindsay
Lohan or Whitney Houston go to the hospital for
"dehydration"......*eyeroll*

He had an emergency appendectomy about 10 days ago, and he is diabetic
(Type 1) and he just started to have a hemorrhage at his brain stem,
although doctors can't find the source of the bleeding.

I would wish that on my worst enemy.

That's a unique approach to a brain hemorrhage. Do all such bleedings
arise because of a misspent youth? It's odd then, that the doctors
can't find the source of it. Your attitude is unbelievable.

I don't approve of him particularly, nor did I think Rock of Love with
Bret Michaels was anything to brag about, but he seems to have some
redeeming qualities, and also seems to be out of the early rock/drug
scene.

Yep...he's drug and booze free. I wonder how many here can play a bad
ass guitar like he can? You don't just one day say, "I'l gonna be a
rock star" and then become one. It takes a lot of low and no paying
gigs, being the opening act for a lot of loser bands and then if you
lucky one day...you get your record and even then it doesn't mean
you'll become famous. I can't believe how many narrow minded people
still exist just because of the way someone dresses or how their hair
is.

Speculate all you want, but it really isn't up to us to decide that it's all
his fault, that's it only happened because he's a drinker and that it
wouldn't have happened were it not for his hard partying ways. I know all
about diabetes education. What I don't know is the truth and reality of
Brett Michaels' life as it correlates to his medical situation. Neither do
you.

I'd never heard of him till I saw Apprentice,
though I've heard of Poison, but I thought
he was pretty cool on the show with
struggling ex-Gov Blago.

Michaels was pretty creative, and did
his best to help out, but it wasn't
quite enough.
