Out of all the guest stars I could picture playing themselves on a show, Bret Michaels doing that on Revolution was not something I ever imagined. But that dream I didn’t know I was having, is turning into a reality because he will be playing himself on the post-apocalyptic drama on NBC later this season. All the
press release says is that he will be playing Bret Michaels in the drama that takes place in the future. I can’t wait to see how they age him because they are going to have to put some years on the rocker. NBC also added that he will be performing an acoustic version of Poison’s hit Every Rose has It’s Thorn. Acoustic because, you know, there is no power on Revolution; so it is the only way he can perform the power ballad in a powerless time. As good as I am sure it will be, it can never top how Bill & Ted did it in Bogus Journey to enter heaven!
In other NBC news, Blacklist is the second new show from this season to get a second season pick up. The first was Fox’s Sleepy Hollow. Personally, I am surprised that NBC picked up the show before its Voiceless run next month. I mean, what if it totally bombs without its powerhouse of a lead-in? It won’t, but what if does?
