Bret Michaels gives thumbs up to marriage?

Bret Michaels To Marry? Near Death Rocked His World

By Miz J

Miz J SO, WAIT. AM I HEARING THIS RIGHT?

That Bret "Love The Dirty Ladies Til I Die" Michaels is contemplating marriage to Kristi Gibson, the mother of his children? So does this mean that his doctors might actually have FIXED his brain, or…?

"As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right?,'' Michaels said. "I don't want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again. What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say, 'I'm just gonna go for it.'

"There's just so much more I want to do and experience," he continued. "[Getting married], for sure, is something I have never done. Kristi's such a great person. We'll see if that happens. But yes, that may be one of the big things on the list."

Well, I guess this makes some sense. I mean, when all your interactions with women revolve around booze, hair-pulling, sharing greasy eyeliner, crying jags, more booze, stripper poles, implant popping and still more booze, the whole "wild rocker" thing is likely to get the best of you.

That, plus a life-threatening brain injury. Um, and dia-bee-tus.

But does this mean Bret should slow his roll and head down the aisle instead of back on that nasty bus?

No freakin' way. If Keith Richards, who's damn near 70, can snort his father's ashes, fall out of a tree and continue on another whirlwind tour as if he’s somehow 23 again, then Bret just needs to nut up.

Besides, I don't want to give up my Rock of Love.
