Backstage with Ron Onesti: Bret Michaels loves life first, music second

It was like an ’80s MTV video: Platinum blondes, fishnets, leather miniskirts … and that was just the guys. 

Bret Michaels, front man from rock super group Poison and “Celebrity Apprentice” winner, pulled into St. Charles with nothing short of a splash, rock star-style. His tour bus sported an enormous picture of his familiar face causing countless double-takes and traffic to come to a complete stop. 

His crazed fans filled the street to the point where we had to close it.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
