Satisfying, isn’t it? I don’t normally watch the Tony Awards. It’s not exactly on my social calender, even though I enjoy plays and have seen a handful of musicals. I’ve even attended a performance of Romeo Hall and Juliet Oates, a Hall and Oates-tinged send-up of Shakespeare’s classic. Still, no Tony Awards for me. I was probably doing something very important at the time of the broadcast, like sorting socks or something.

So, imagine my surprise when I came across this clip. After the laughter subsided, my first question wasn’t “I wonder if Bret Michaels is okay?” it was “Why is Poison on the Tony Awards?” Of course, quickly followed by, “Is this that sign of the apocalypse that my nutty second-cousin has been telling me to watch for?”

Thankfully, it’s not a sign of the apocalypse (that we know of). But it certainly has to be some kind of karmic retribution against Bret Michaels as an individual and Poison as a group for their various misdeeds over the past 20+ years. I’m still not sure that I’ll ever fully forgive him for Native Tongue. Although this does kind of make up for that sex tape he made with Pam Anderson(no, I’m not linking to that).
