If you haven't caught the latest on Charlie Sheen's live show tour subtly entitled My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option which kicked off in Detroit Saturday night, here's a clip from A.O. Scott's rundown:
...the scene there was ugly, as a boisterous, liquored-up capacity crowd greeted Mr. Sheen with cheers that quickly turned to boos. The show — a ragged mix of video clips, ear-splitting music, profanity-laced monologues and clumsy attempts to encourage audience participation — did not so much end as collapse.
...the headliner briefly returned to trade insults with a mostly empty house, the evening clearly had not gone according to plan. If there ever was a plan.
Honestly, I thought that was the low point of the write up, but it gets worse. And worse.
B.J. Hammerstein at Detroit Free Press says:
Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" tour opened in Detroit on Saturday night with a boom. By the time he stepped off the stage a little after 10 p.m., it was an official bomb.
