SNOOP DOGG at the GLASGOW CARLING ACADEMY

In these days of cataclysmic economic crisis requiring new and innovative solutions for new and innovative problems David Cameron has come up with something bordering on genius , despite the sanitised name and spin giving the Chimera of depth and substance to the policy, he has come up with what amounts to a Shop-A-Darkey Scheme.Darkeys will be required to prove they are not illegal , and the Police will be required to following up any tip-offs that there is a Darkey in the neighbourhood.Its Political incorrectness gone mad.

A long time back i went to a Michael Jackson concert at Glasgow Green , i would never have normally gone but i was babysitting for my Nephew , accompanying him as a grown up chaperon.

Im glad i went as it was one of the finest shows you ever will see.The most striking remarkable experience was , despite his gyrating dance moves and incredible gymnastics , his voice was pitch perfect.I always felt if he had no visual frills to his show he would be rightly famous for being one of the finest singers of all time.

So nearly two decades later the very same nephew had a spare ticket for Snoop Dogg , an opportunity well worth experiencing even though im not a rap fan , except for Krazy by Tupac Shakur which drives me crazy.

I really liked the second support act , thundering bass and quality guitars.

Snoop finally came on , deliberately so late that he could only perform a 60 minute set before the curfew set in whether the crowd wanted encores or not."Shafted" is the word my nephew used.

After spending the first 5 minutes or so establishing that his motherfuckin name is indeed Snoop Dogg , he spent many more what his motherfuckin game is , apparently he claims to be a big hit with the ladies , though the only ladies on stage were being paid for the privilege.He also had a motherfuckin dog , like hoopy the hound (the Celtic Mascot), doing odd things with his tail.A motherfuckin fat guy would appear once in a while to give depth to the chorus segments.A brilliant PA gave out a great sound to the spare set.

Videos of his concert on youtube are not of the quality to do him justice , this is the best i could find:



Dont get me wrong , this was a great concert , just not enough pride to put on a show that was in the moment as it were.A small criticism on a great night.
