Cinderella, Poison to Tour Together?
Word is that 80's hair bands Poison and Cinderella will tour together this summer to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their first albums "Night Songs" and "Look What the Cat Dragged In." Hard to believe those albums were released 20 years ago. I can vividly remember when I bought LWTCDI, as an innocent (really, I swear!) 12-year old. I was on vacation with my parents down in Cape May on the Jersey shore. I had heard a couple of Poison songs and decided I wanted the whole album. I had brought my Walkman on vacation with me so when I saw the tape in a music store I picked it up. And so began my life-long love of Poison. I probably wore that tape out completely as well as subsequent Poison tapes I listened to them so often. Cinderella was another favorite and NS was another that got heavy play in my bedroom.
I've seen Poison live in concert four times over the years. Twice when they were at the peak of their popularity in the late 80's/early 90's and two more times recently. I saw Cinderella in a small club on Long Island when they could no longer sellout arenas anymore. But they still gave it their all and put on an outstanding show even though the crowd was much smaller than what they had played in front of previously.
Ah, memories. I might have to check this tour out this summer.
