Before we say goodbye to Bret Michaels' Rock of Love (the reunion episode airs this Sunday night), we figured we'd treat you to some more of our interview with the Poison leader. Check out this video, where Michaels relays the story of his most rock-star moment ever (it involves swan-diving naked into a fountain that wasn't quite deep enough to prevent injury), offers up some advice for up-and-coming bands, and ponders Kid Rock's beef with Tommy Lee: "All I know is I was the first rocker to get Pam."

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
