Charlie Sheen -- Crowd Goes WILD In Cleveland | TMZ.com

"Charlie Sheen KILLED IT in Cleveland Tuesday night ... finishing a 2 hour performance with a STANDING OVATION!!!"

Why so different from Detroit?

Possibility one: I suppose he is learning what works and what doesn't.

Possibility two: They just can't stop lovin' the Indians' greatest relief pitcher, Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, in Cleveland, especially when he comes out wearing parts of his Indians uniform.

Possibility three: Maybe he was just as entertaining in Detroit as elsewhere. Charlie bombed there, but it's difficult to tell whather it was because of his own suckitude or Detroit's. It's a suck-off!

Poor Detroit. As if that city didn't have problems enough, now people in every other city on Charlie's tour are going to be yelling "Fuck Detroit" at Charlie concerts. (Not to mention "Fuck that bitch" for the other Wild Thing, Charlie's ex-, Denise Richards.)

One thing is clear. There's a lot of love for Charlie out there. A lot of people identify with him, for reasons which I can sort of imagine but not fully comprehend. About a decade ago we ran a poll to determine the one guy who most embodies the spirit of the "Fun House." I thought Shatner would win, but I was wrong. Charlie was the guy, as our readers saw it. Here's what I wrote at the time:

"We have a new king of the Fun House. The torch has been passed to a new generation. I thought that Bill Shatner was the only guy for the job. After all, what is the Fun House about if not bad acting, bad singing, and the endless pursuit of chicks too hot for us? But you have spoken. It's time to let youth take over. Charlie Sheen has spent his life in the pursuit of fun times, often to the detriment of his bank account and his career. So I guess we can forgive him the fact that he doesn't try to sing in public. At least not that we know about. If any of you know Charlie, see what you can do about getting him to cut an album. And don't accept the excuse that he can't sing. Did that ever stop Shatner?"
