We saw him perform in Oklahoma City during my first few years here, and there was something similar to what you describe during that performance too - I think it was some harsh words with someone in the audience. Perhaps he did it to keep people talking about it/him - for look at we two, so many years on, still doing so! :) In general, though, he did become rather grim during his later years - something we often remarked on ourselves. Such a pity because in his earlier years he was brilliant.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77036638530105468782020-06-16T21:16:00.773-05:002020-06-16T21:16:00.773-05:00Reminiscent of Erma Bombeck.

I was at one of his last performances in Toronto and it was awful. He came out angry and petulant about some kind of treatment back stage.<br /><br />We thought it was part of his act for a while, even though it was terribly unpleasant but it turns out it had put him "off his game" and we were left with the bitter aftertaste of him fumbling and rambling.<br /><br />I had been a forever fan since his LP days (remember those?) so was quite crushed. We debated demanding a refund but took the loss.<br /><br />XO<br />WWW<br />Wisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
