As if the recent economic blitzkrieg wasn’t bad enough, fate delivered another blow to the Motor City last night.
The opening salvo of Charlie Sheen‘s “Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option” tour blasted away at the gathered throng in the sold-out 5,100 seat Fox Theater until they felt like Bree Olson after a 12-hour porn shoot!
In other words, after being 45 minutes late, delivering a “Winning!” performance appeared to be the last thing on Charlie’s mind.
The first thing? Who the hell even knows anymore.

For the price of admission, he should have had these two do more than make out!
After shelling out good money to see a real American idol, people got gems like this delivered in between incoherent mumblefests, “I used my power against them and stuffed their arms down their gaping throats. No time to take their stinking toupees because this warlock was on the move!” he bellowed.
WTF?

and what, pray tell, were people expecting to hear I wonder? Something insightful? Charlie Sheen, Charlie Schmeen…it’s like paying money to watch someone pick their nose.
Subtle, but effective .
Maybe he’s going for an warlock’s new clothes thing. If we the uninitiated cannot grasp his winningess maybe it is because we are losers not because he is crazy.
I’m sure this is the case somewhere in the multiverse.
You have a lot of faith, friend.
Ugh, Charlie needs some bi-polar meds…….not two girlfriends younger than his eldest daughter.
Very true.
Good call.
This is so bizarre. I feel like all of humanity deserves an anti-stupidity chaser.
Good luck distributing it!
I guess defeat was an option after all. Heh.
Nice one!
I……what????….. I guess the recession isn’t as bad as we are lead to believe. If folk have money to waste on ….
Thanks for sharing.
And thanks for the visit.
The recession is worse, as it started here about 5 years prior to hitting the rest of the US, but as I hear it a good chunk of the people who attended came across the bridge from Windsor…
Now don’t get me wrong, I have no sympathy for people who paid to watch the star of the worse scripted show on Television go off on a rant about much crack he did, but when you charge for a show – have a game plan.
When the crowd complained , he responded: “I already have your money dude.”
Then, upon the crowd chanting ‘refund – refund’ and walking out on the show, he realized what works and what doesn’t.
Doing a show at the historic Fox Theater downtown, and then telling all the suburbanites and Canadians who made the trip into the city that he assumes they are crack-heads for being in Detroit – does not work.
He then actually changed game plans for the Chicago show (about half the size) and starts it off by ripping the D. – Well Fuck Charlie Sheen.

Great commentary on the whole Sheen debacle, Dr. Kronner!
