Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Bret Michaels: Here is the best things that [Poison] had going for us: We had nothing to lose! In other words, none of us worked any kind of a job. I was 17 years old when I left. I had quit high school and was working at a music store. We wanted to write original material. We packed up our van and literally that was it.
