On Sunday night of the Sturgis Rally I saw Poison play at Buffalo Chip. Lead singer Bret Michaels–who’s currently featured in the VH1 show Rock of Love–had broke his hand the night before.

Now I grew up listening to Poison.  Songs like “Every Rose Has Its Torn” and “Ride the Wind,” and ”Something To Believe In” were back drops to a lot of middle school and high school dances.

I’d never seen Poison live, but a couple of things really struck me.

First, Bret and the band really worked hard. They put all their energy into the show.

Big deal. You may say. That’s their job.

Yeah. I agree, but at the same time can you imagine how many times they must have played “Unskinny Bop” since it was released 17 years ago.

It made me realize that no matter how many times you or I do something, even something as simple as talking to a stranger, it’s important to give it your best attention because for that person it may be their first and only impression of you.

Second, Bret thanked the audience over and over throughout the show. “Thanks for coming out tonight!” or “We really appreciate all of you!” 

I admired that. After 20 plus years of touring he still was grateful.

I’ve notice that the happiest and most successful people in my life are those who continually give thanks for their situation.

Third, despite having a broken hand Bret played a full show.

It would have been easy to back out, but the show went on. I’ve found that it’s always possible to find an out, an excuse for not following through on a commitment. Sometimes the excuses are very legitimate.  However, you lose a little of your personal confidence anytime you back out. Likewise, when you step up to a commitment your confidence will dramatically increase.

The final thing I noticed about the show was that they played their hits. I would have been disappointed and so would the 20,000 others had they not played favorites like ”Something to Believe In” 

The lesson here is all of us have talents. Things we do really well. All to often I’ve noticed that people take their talents for granted.  Like Poison, if you take a moment to discover what you do well, and then do it. It makes life easier, plus people around you benefit as well. 

Thanks for stopping by…

I just returned from Sturgis…and the infamous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

It was another great year of concerts, camaraderie, and people watching.

As I was interviewing bikers for The Sturgis Rally Guide Book.  I met a woman with a pair of tattoos unlike any I’d seen before…and I’ve seen a lot of tattoos.

As she was filling out a release I noticed a watch tattooed on her wrist. With a closer look I noticed both hands were on the 12. 

I blurted out, “Wow, its always noon.”  To which she stopped writing and looked at me with a patient glance.

“Honey!” She said, “It’s always midnight!”

“Oh, yeah.” I said, “Of course it’s midnight.” I said with a smile.

She laughed and her look got even more curious. “Have you seen all my tattoos.”

“I don’t know.” I replied…knowing that was a loaded question.

That’s when she pointed out a set of tattoos she had on her neck.

You can see them below…she had a pair of bullet holes tattooed on her neck.

Like I said, I’ve never seen anything like them.  

All I could think to say was. “Huh, look at those.”
