Jamie Who?

Friday night, and no one to have some beers and play a little fusbol with. Finally I don't have a baby to put to sleep, but no one is up for some cavorting around town. So I looked in the paper for a show to go to, and I stumbled upon the name Jaime Foxx. Yes, that guy. He tours with a band, which I didn't know. He's always been a talented fellow, but ever since he played Ray Charles he's been legit to be a professional musician. The man is probably good, but when I looked at the ticket price for this show at the River Rock Casino (where they advise you to know your limits and play within them) I was simply appauled. It was as if Jaime's staff decided to beat the scalpers to the punch and charge $99.50/$119.50 up front. At that price, you're a moron for choosing the cheap seats.

These are Canadian dollars, but goddammit if I am ever looking at Jaime Foxx again as someone to care about. Charging that much for a show is like saying you're in the hall of fame for humanity. Remember how low-budget In Living Color was back in the 90's? That was great, and it appealed to the layperson. I know that the natural progression for successful performers is to get bigger and bigger, charge more and more for a show. Don't do me any favors Jaime; Let me just throw in an extra fifty bucks cause you're so pretty. Shit, dogg. Has he really earned the $100 price tag already? A Jaime Foxx movie DVD, packed with extras and interviews, is like fifteen bucks, but at least I get to possess him. What are these songs that are so great anyway? It's not like he's been touring from the basement into the spotlight with his music. I wouldn't trust this white sport coat-wearing ass clown. It's suspect.

Then again, the hot seats for Puscifer's tour here in Vancouver are going for $230 before scalping, so what the fuck? Maybe Jaime's got a good show. Maybe I've missed out on the musician known as Jaime Foxx. He probably has a dramatic show. He is an actor, after all. You be the judge:

He's ok.
