Charlie Sheen’s ‘Torpedo of Truth’ Wins in Chicago (Video)
Tiger Blood and Adonis DNA wasn’t enough to save Charlie Sheen from bombing on stage Saturday night in Detroit, the first stop on his much-heralded “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option.”
The 45 year-old actor seems to have taken it in stride, however. After being booed off the stage in Motor City, Sheen took his own words to heart and planned better for Sunday night’s Chicago show.
According to The Chicago Tribune, take 2 was a much different animal from the opener, which had the audience chanting for a refund.
Instead of the multi-media debacle audience members were subjected to – the ones who didn’t walk out, that is – the Windy City show was more sedate.
“Sheen mostly sat and fielded an interviewer’s questions, bantering with the crowd, dropping the F-word, and actually seeming to satisfy, if not amaze, concertgoers,” reported the Tribune’s Steve Johnson.
The interviewer was former radio DJ and tour co-producer Joey Scoleri, who works for tour promoter LiveNation.
Johnson’s take?
“The show was still not ‘My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option,’ as the tour title promises, but it was at least a forward-moving projectile of moderate dish about celebrity.”
Ummm…I guess that’s a compliment.
The crazy train will continue with stops in Ohio, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C. and more.
