We went Monday night to go see Janet Jackson at this fucking casino way out by
the San Bernardino
airport. And it was like a fucking 3,000 seater, this one-off show she did. She's
not even on tour.
So I saw it advertised here in LA and like a fucking idiot, I thought it was in
LA.
So I get the tickets and then, you know, Club Soda Kenny's like, uh, FYI, it's
a two-hour
drive with traffic. I'm like, oh my God, I had no idea. But anyway, we got all
the way out there
and, uh, I gotta tell you this, Janet Jackson absolutely killed it. It was like
an over
a 90 minute show. She did all of her hits and she was doing the dances from the
videos back
in the day and she can still fucking kill it. I was watching her jumping around
at one point
going like, I'm like, my knees hurt just watching her doing it. And, um, I don't
know where to
start. Like I got like, uh, as a performer, I like to think, you know, on the
low rung of
entertainment, a standup comedian, we're, we're what they usually for a music
act, they'll put
us on in front of them to kill time, um, before people see the actual
entertainment. Right.
So, but despite that, just the level of professionalism, because she wasn't on
tour,
this was like a one-off show. And, you know, I hate to say this, a lot of
performers kind
of walk their way through it. If they're usually, you know, she usually plays
venues way bigger
than that, you know, so you can kind of like be, uh, you know, I'm not on tour,
just going
to do the hits. I'll do a fucking medley and I'll just, you know, get the
fucking money and
get out of that was not the vibe. She was a total pro came out there, realized
everybody
was excited to see her and her, her band. Um, that was my only complaint. I
felt the drums
could have been a little higher in the lip in the mix because that guy was
killing it.
I wanted to hear more of that, but the backup dances, the whole fucking thing,
the, um, the
song selection and the, just the way she was with her crowd. She was, she was
fantastic. And, um,
watching my wife going nuts. She was dancing like the entire show. And, um, it's
one of the truly
beautiful things I've seen in, in my life is my wife dancing. So anyway, I was
at that, um,
that show and one of the songs that she sang, um, Escapade. Yeah. We'll have a
good time.
Escapade, leave your worries behind. Right. And I was like, Oh my God, here's
another branding
chance. If I was Janet Jackson's agent, I would call up Cadillac and I would
fucking have her do a
commercial for Escalade. Escalade. We'll have a good time. Escalade, leave your
Prius behind.
Whatever the fuck you would say. You, you listen, I didn't say I could write
lyrics. I'm just saying
the business is shrinking. Yeah. Like five nerds are going to run Hollywood in
about fucking three
months and all the money's going to go to them. And we're going to be like, can
we please get money
for his sandwich? So you got to get out there, man. As performers now, we're
all just going to be
shelling for the people that don't want to pay us. And we're going to have to
all do commercials.
Anyway, but she was fantastic. I don't know when she goes on tour again, but,
um, if you get a chance,
if you get a chance, definitely go see Janet Jackson. And I am, uh, I am very
happy that I did it.
We, my God, we had a great time.
Thank you.
