Anger /angst can be an act, but it is not mass entertainment. Words from a chaotic mind do not bear the fruit of wisdom but the spores of chaos.
Saturday night and live too, Charlie Sheen went out on the stage at the Fox Theater in Detroit. Had he come to fox folks? This was the opening night of his "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option" tour. What was his plan? Why did he open in the old "murder capitol"? Was his aim to murder his critics with his brilliance?
In Detroit's Fox Theatre, last night, Charlie Sheen stood before a sold-out audience, of people whom paid good money in a recession to be entertained. Before the show was over, the crowd demanded refunds, and booed him. How they booed him! They came to see a winner perform, to show them what winning is, and were treated as if they were suckers and losers. He had no show, just stuff thrown together to fill time. He was riding the Charlie Sheen hype to make money for Charlie Sheen, and to show the world that he didn't need anybody, He didn't need 'Two and Half a Men," didn't need Warner Brothers, didn't need CBS. He didn't need good script writers, didn't need a decent director, didn't need direction, didn't need a producer who knows what entertainment is. All he needs is himself, and he bombed.
Before he pulled the curtain, Charlie Sheen said, "OK, so (the show) is a bomb. Whatever! Tonight is an experiment."
He did not leave the stage early, he left before the a lotted time. He left fans, who brought into the hype, feeling as if they had wasted their time and their money, and were feeling as if their evening was a lost. And Charlie Sheen? He was hit by his own "rocket propelled grenade."
