#PLAN BETTER
by StonehengeESS on 4/5/11Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 1 out of 5I purchased the tickets with the "expect the worst/hope for the best" mindset, having enjoyed Charlie's acting on television and in movies for the past 20+years. I'm fairly easily entertained and thought this would be a night to remember. It was....as the worst show EVER. The opening comedian was not funny and was booed off the stage, Charlie himself had to come out and pacify the crowd, received a standing ovation, and the opener was again booed off the stage. When Charlie finally came out, the first 10-15 minutes of the show were fairly enjoyable, but went downhill from there. His 10 minute rant/manifesto went on far too long, the RPG video he showed was irrelevant and in fact, painful to watch. The Q & A's were never really asked and/or answered, the YouTube-type video has been done to death; I'll admit, the fake interview outtakes video was one of the better moments of the show. Still scratching my head at the inclusion of the unknown white dude TRYING to rap something about cocaine and gold chains. I'm not sure even the presence of Snoop Dog could have tuned this debacle around. I get the feeling that Charlie had no idea of how to handle a live audience of thousands, much less one with a drunken frat house mentality.
Ah well, at least I can say I was there when Charlie Sheen got booed off the stage in Detroit.
