Bret MichaelsDodges Bullet

Somebody’s gunning for Bret Michaels. The Poison frontman literally dodged a bullet, or at least a pellet, escaping injury after someone fired a single shot into his tour bus Monday night. The “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” singer was inside his luxury coach when the incident took place outside the Rumble Seat Bar and Grille in Chicopee, Massachusetts, where he was due to perform. In a statement, Michaels’ manager says the rocker was not hit by the projectile, but he “was struck in the face by flying broken glass.”
The release goes on to say that “this was not a random drive-by shooting due to the shots being fired directly into the living quarters at the rear of the bus.” It also claims that “throughout his career, Michaels has been the target of numerous death threats investigated by the FBI.”
Michaels himself says in the statement that he will soldier on. “I want to thank all of my fans in the Chicopee area for staying out last night, and I will be back.”
But local authorities are downplaying the seriousness of the incident. “It appears to be a simple case of vandalism,” says Sergeant Christopher Lareau of the Chicopee Police Department. Speaking by phone Tuesday, Lareau confirmed that the left rear window of the bus had been shot out, but that he believed the weapon involved was a “pellet gun.” He added that there were currently no suspects. In his statement, Michaels asks that any tips be sent to his Website, bretmichaels.com, or the police. “Hopefully, with the help of many people, we will catch the person who did this and they will be brought to justice,” the rocker says. The tour bus tagging caps a rough year for members of one of the biggest hair metal bands of the late 1980s. Last month, a Los Angeles judge sentenced Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille to 80 days in jail after he pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and causing injury. As for Michaels, he is due in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a show Tuesday followed by a Thursday concert in Cincinnati.

So I guess there is a conspiracy to kill Bret Michaels. You know besides the fact that just about every public figure, anyone that works with youth offender or criminals, or is basically in a position of power receives a death, I am fearful for Bret Michael’s life.
Really I am sure there is a guy somewhere in Cincinnati with pictures of Bret Michaels all over his wall. The lyrics to “Talk Dirty To Me” are written in some bodily fluid… Be it blood, urine, or semen. Possibly even feces. Also he has a voodoo doll of CeCe Deville just in case the band ever gets back together and CeCe decides he wants to steal any of Brett’s spotlight.
Do you think Bret really actually believes that there is someone out to get him. I am sure the culprits that did it can be broken down into one of two groups:
1) A group of young wanna be punks that think Green Day sold out when they were on MTV earlier in the year but little do they realize that Green Day sold out long ago when Dookie was released. For some reason they feel that [tag]Simple Plan[/tag] might be on of the top ten bands of all time. They feel that they need to take out any non punk musicians and taking down the lead singer of Poison is the first step in their long plan.
2) Some random ass dickhead that thought it would be funny to shoot a pellet at a tour bus of a washed up lead singer of a shitty band.
I am going to lean towards number 2 on that. So anyways I hear that there is actually a person stalking Skippy from Family Ties… I hope that he is ok.
What is this world coming to?
