Every Rose Has Its Thorn

When I was a "tween" there was no such thing. You were just a kid then. I was a kid into music, but didn't know what I liked yet and so listened to whatever was on the radio. Back then, hair bands were big on the radio: Guns n' Roses, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi. This power ballad topped the charts at the end of 1988. It was written while Poison was playing at a country bar in Dallas. Can you hear it?
