We saw Dave Chapelle last night

Yet somehow Chappelle (one of my favoriyes) is performing in arenas that seat 20,000+ people where floor seats are selling for $400-500. Wish my business would die like that.

 

Did you see them in West Palm with Rage Against the Machine? I vaguely remember that happening.

 

Chapelle lives about 15 miles from here. 20 years ago my daughter was working at Toys “R” Us and Chapelle came in to do some Christmas shopping. She said he was really friendly.

 

I saw Method Man and Red Man at 420 on the Rocks in Colorado. They really put in a good show. Also a white rapper named Prof really impressed me. It was a great night.

 

Subsequently Method Man and Redman Blackout tour was a great show. I think it was like 1998

 

Yeah, I think Meth and Red are the best live hip hop show I've seen outside of the Roots

 

The "vague" part is key, lol. I know I didn't see them with Rage, but I did see them in south Florida somewhere around 2005. Think I saw them in Tallahassee and saw them in Jax. I think I also saw them at the Hard Rock in Orlando..... but it all kind of blends together.

They just came through Jax with Nas last month. I took a pass but heard it was pretty good.

 

And that was funny? SMH!

 

They probably ask the crowd for a blunt at most of their shows lol. 99’ sounded right, but I had to look it up and they toured with Rage in 97’ not 99’. 99’ was my senior year so that made some sense. I’m a little surprised my parents let me go to that concert with two friends as sophomores in Hs but I guess we did.

 

Our parents must have gone to the same laissez faire school of parenting. Mine let me go to the Meth and Red Blackout tour as a HS sophomore (or maybe a junior) with a buddy of mine.

 

My mom was the conservative but my liberal dad was the much stricter parent. They canceled each other's votes every election, but still went and voted.

 

Says a lot.

 

That’s a difficult question to answer. If you ask them, they will tell you 100% super liberal. Hate trump, hate DeSantis, oppose every conservative initiative. If you actually listen to them talk however, not very compassionate towards immigrants, not very compassionate towards the less fortunate, still make inappropriate comments/jokes about gay and black people even though their best friends are a lesbian family and a Haitian family. Not to say they’re bad people for it, but definitely don’t know what’s appropriate in 2023 if they consider themselves liberals.

 

I hope it does for your sake...

 

I went to the Wu/Nas/Busta Rhymes show in Palm Beach in 2022. Great show. Busta puts on one heck of a live show.

 

I get what you're saying; comedy is a very unique thing, it can have healing powers, etc. Having said that, I've watched some really edgy and offensive standup over the last 22+ years, and I don't recall seeing sets of 9/11 jokes. (I'm not going to search, as I'm sure some comedian must have done some).
