Keepin' Metal Alive
I'm about to embark on a three-day hair-metal odyssey, following the Poison/Cinderella tour across the S
unshine State.
Current itinerary has me hanging with Cinderella in Tampa on Saturday, Poison in West Palm Beach on Sunday and debauched fans for Tuesday's finale in Orlando.
Times ace photog Bob Croslin will be capturing all the metal mayhem. Look for a big, hairy feature in the next few weeks.
Anyway, I'll try to give an update or two from the road. Or, if everything goes well, from jail.


Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Dude, I love your life.
Hey, are you sure you don't need a traveling assistant to join you?

Daly, was Poison's roadcrew still trolling the crowd during the show handing out the golden tickets? And how was CC behaving, it was nice to see him clean and sober on The Surreal Life, but then again a Poison show doesn't carry Mrs. Brady around on the bus.

I've heard nothing about the concert. There weren't reviews in either paper. How was it? Good setlist? How was the crowd? Was Bret Michaels wearing a shirt with a picture of himself on it? Was his home movie with Pam Anderson the video backdrop for "Every Rose Has It's Thorn?" Curious minds are dying to know...well, just curious to know.
