Poison show notes

So we just got back from the Poison show here in Cincinnati, and it was a decent show all things considered.

We missed Sebastian Bach and only caught about half of Dokken (not a fan of Dokken so no big deal there).

Poison was exactly what you'd expect with one Cincinnati specific exception.

Earlier this year a former colleague of mine, Mr. K from WEBN, passed away due to injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. Mr. K was one of the kind of guy that was just great to be around. He exuded charisma and humor. You just felt you could trust him no matter what and it was truly a sad day in the area to have lost a friend, an entertainer, and a talented musician.

While at EBN, Mr. K was best known for his Wednesday lunch show - Big Hair Wednesday - and had one of the most entertaining shows on the station at the time. While the show always had a bit of ironic humor to the music, it was obvious that he truly had a love for that genre and was respected throughout the "Glam" community for his efforts to keep fun rock relevant.

Tonight at the show Brett Michels gave a very heartful and emotional sendoff to Mr. K, dedicating the entire show to him and then honoring him with the song "Ride The Wind."

I've been to hundreds, if not thousands, of live shows in my life and never had I had the goosebumps I felt when the entire crowd raised their arms and voices to honor a man that I feel truly humbled to have known. Well done.
