Charlie Sheen Gets Booed at Detroit Tour Kickoff

For his part, Sheen seemed affected by the crowd response. He never got around to telling certain stories he promised and, at one point, he took out a piece of paper as if to read it, then changed his mind. "I'm not gonna read it with so much disruption," he said, responding to the lively crowd.
By about 10 p.m., the show was over. And despite the mixed reviews, the Warlock did seem to feel he forged some connection with the crowd.
"The most honest city in the world honors the most honest man in the universe #TruthTorpedo," he Tweeted, along wih a photo of the cheering audience.
5 ways to fix Charlie Sheen's live tour
No refunds! That fine print policy is doubtless going through the minds of some fans who are holding tickets for Charlie Sheen’s Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour following the Warlock-In-Chief’s opening night reviews in Detroit (all the gory details here). But could the show be saved? Improved? Made, if not actually great, at least not so … intensely boo-able? Here are some suggestions:
The people who went to his show believe he is a comedic actor who has carefully staged the disaster of who he has become. They expected to be entertained. Those of us who have been exposed to mental illness and/or drug addiction could have predicted that this would not be the case. Instead, Sheen is a sad person exhibiting the signs of a severe emotional breakdown. That's not entertainment, it's a train wreck. The people who paid for his show really did get what they paid for.

The biggest losers, other then Charlie himself, are the idiots that bought large lots of tickets thinking they would be able to resell them for a hefty profit.
It was obnoxious and arrogant of CS to consider himself a 'standup.' Doing stand up comedy is an art and a difficult craft. You don't just get up on stage and rant and call it 'standup.' I think he should have learned that last night, however, maybe not.
Yet, somehow I don't feel sorry for them DG. They are getting what they deserve when they thought they would profit off this man's craziness...
