In a new interview with USA Today Bret Michaels discusses his unyielding allegiance to the Pittsburgh Steelers, why he listens to Christmas music year-round, and how his trademark bandana is his “super power.” An excerpt from the feature follows..
Bret Michaels listens to everything from AC/DC to Dean Martin:
While the volcanic roar of AC/DC is usually the “instant motivator” backdrop for his workouts, Michaels takes the notion of music as a universal language beyond an affinity for rock, country and pop and delves into… Christmas music.
“I’m not a preachy faith guy. I’ve always said each finds their own (religion), provided you’re not hurting anybody,” he says. “But if I’m having a down day, I seek out traditional Christmas music.”
Michaels is dedicated to his family – wife Kristi, daughters Raine, 24 and Jorja, 19 and their rescue German shepherds Draco and Nova – and finds Christmas songs a reminder of “the spirit of giving, family, fun (and) laughter.”
He leans to toward classics from Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Perry Como and Andy Williams and loves to listen in the summer heat so “mentally, I feel cooler!”
