'“I snuck out with Poison. Hung out with Bret Michaels when they were in Michigan. My aunt used to work backstage at a festival and she got my passes. His tour manager is a huge Sabres fan, he grew up just outside of Buffalo in Ontario. We got talking about hockey and I mentioned that I play hockey and he asked who for and when I told him, he couldn’t believe it. He told Bret, ‘these guys are all right.’"'
